If you know that someone has a history of seizures, then you do not need to call emergency services unless the seizure lasts for more than 2-5 minutes or if there is something different about this seizure. However, if a person is having a seizure for the first time or if you are unsure, you should call an ambulance immediately. If you don't know the person, check for a medical bracelet to see if they regularly have seizures. The person needs to be checked out by a medical professional to determine the underlying reason for the seizure. Most people's seizures are over after a few minutes, and then they regain consciousness and become aware of their surroundings. However, if a person has atypical seizure activity, you need to call an ambulance. Abnormal activity may include: Multiple seizures without regaining consciousness The seizure lasting for more than five minutes Inability to breathe A seizure after the person complains of a sudden, severe headache A seizure following a head injury A seizure after inhaling fumes or poison If it occurs with other signs of a stroke, such as trouble speaking or understanding speech, loss of vision, and inability to move part or all of one side of the body Seizing when someone is in a dangerous situation can lead to injury or death. You should call emergency services if the person having the seizure is pregnant or has diabetes, is having the seizure in water, or has injured themselves during the seizure.

Summary: Call emergency services unless the person commonly has seizures. Call for help if a person has unusual seizure activity. Find help if the person has a seizure in a dangerous situation.

At the end of every month, test yourself to see where your new optimal weight is for training. Use the same rules as when you started out, increasing the amount you're lifting until you've found the weight that allows you complete (but work hard for) 8-12 reps. Some workout plans ask you to do a percentage of your "1RM" for several reps. "1RM" refers to "one repetition maximum," or the maximum amount of weight you can lift for just one rep. This can be a dangerous number to test for, especially for beginners. For safety, go online to find calculators that give you your approximate 1RM based on the weight and reps you're using in your current workout. Sets with lower reps and higher weights build muscle strength and bulk. Plan for sets of between 5-10 reps, depending on how heavy your weight is. Even though you're focusing on bodybuilding, it's important to add sets for endurance to your workout plan. Aim for sets of between 12-15 reps when you're working on endurance. Spend an equal amount of time doing strength and endurance training by doing these workouts on alternating days. This will make your overall bodybuilding training more effective. Rest days are just as important as exercise days. Your muscles need to heal in order to continue building up and getting stronger. An optimal workout plan has at least 1-2 rest days. Finding a workout buddy will help you keep track of your goals and stick to them. It'll be much easier to keep yourself motivated if you have a friend cheering for you and struggling alongside you. You two can also spot each other and check for safety. Decide whether you want to compete in "bikini," "figure," "physique," or "bodybuilding" events. Go online to see if there are local competitions, or if you'll need to drive to the nearest city. Once you've picked your spot, enter by using an online form and paying any entrance fees. Bikini competitions look for the traditional female shape. Figure emphasizes muscle definition and symmetry, although these events still aim for a "soft" look. Physique judges on muscle size and development. Bodybuilding is all about being heavily muscled. Research your show options to find out about their standards and requirements for posing, costumes, and judging. Keep track of what you eat, and make sure you're getting enough protein. You'll also need to keep your workouts consistent and high in their intensity. Buy a competition suit, and don't forget to practice posing. Eliminate all junk food and simple carbohydrates from your diet three months before the competition. Make your workout more intense by keeping the weights and reps pretty consistent, but decreasing your rest periods in between sets. Be sure to superset exercises together.

Summary: Keep testing your weight limits to increase your lifts. Do low reps for heavy lifts to build strength. Do high reps for lighter lifts to build endurance. Take rest days to let your muscles recover. Work out with a partner to push yourself. Enter a competition to test your skills. Prepare for the competition by getting serious.

Be rational for a moment, and take stock of the situation. Consider your relationship to this person, and try to predict how they will receive your words. Ask yourself whether there's a realistic chance that they love you back. If so, then you just need to how to figure out how to make your move. If not, then you will need to tread very carefully. Perhaps you have fallen in love with a friend, but you aren't sure if they love you back. You will need to think long and hard about how your confession of love will affect the friendship. Falling in love with your best friend can be wonderful provided that they return your feelings. If you have never been in love before, it may be hard to understand the implications of this phrase. There are many types of love: friendly love, familial love, romantic love. If you truly feel that you are romantically in love with this person, then you should tell them. However, it is important to consider the gravity of your words. Love means something different to everyone. Some say that young people tend to confuse "true love" with a shallower level of infatuation or "puppy love." Others believe that you can feel deep, meaningful love at any age. Do not tell someone "I love you" just to get them to pay more attention to you. Only say this if you plan to follow up on your words. Romantic love usually implies a certain level of care and involvement with a person. Instead of saying "I love you," you can start out by saying things that hint at how you really feel. For example, you could mention that you want more out of the relationship or that you would like to be exclusive. Or, you could simply tell the other person that you enjoy being with them and want to continue seeing them. Gauge how the person responds to the less-serious confessions. If they are receptive to your words, and says that they like you a lot too, then there's a higher chance that your confession of love will be well-received. Consider that life is short, and that love is a perfectly valid feeling. If you love someone, there will always be a chance that they do not love you back, or that they will fall out of love with you down the line. However, this is a thing that is inside you, and it is a thing that you cannot ignore. Sometimes, the only way is forward, even if you are afraid.
Summary: Take a step back. Make sure that you mean it. Be true in your intentions. Ease into it. Be bold.
