Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Set up boundaries for the game. Make the house as dark as possible. Choose one person to be "it. Find a good place to hide. Count to 50 or 100.

Answer: Since you can play this game either indoors or outdoors, it's important for every player to know where they can and can't go. For example, if you are playing outside, you want to make sure that everyone understands they have to stay in the yard and not wander over to the neighbor's two doors down. Of course, the size of the area depends on the number of players and how much space you want to use. All that matters is that there are enough places to hide. If you are going to play indoors, you want to try and make the area you're using as dim as you can. Turn out the lights, close the blinds/curtains, turn off TVs, computer monitors and any other sources of light. Once you do this, your group can either go outside or start in a neutral area like a foyer. If there are other people in the house while you're playing, you can either restrict your group to one area or simply do your best to work around them. If you're afraid of getting hurt in a dark house everybody could have flashlights and when you find the person remember to turn your flashlight off and don't make a sound. You can also play another version where all lights are on, and the hunted hides in plain sight, but in a tiny space. " You can do this in a multitude of ways. For example, if no one volunteers, try playing rock, paper, scissors or pulling names from a hat. Once a person is chosen, have them go into the house and hide somewhere in the dark. This person is the hider/hunted and everyone else is a seeker/hunter. The place you choose may depend on how many people you're playing with. For example, if you are playing with 4 other people, you only have to fit 3 other people in with you. On the other hand, if you're playing with 15 other people, then that's 14 people you need to fit in your hiding place beside yourself. You can try hiding under a table or a bed, in a closet under piles of clothes, in a pantry, a spacious cupboard, even in a doghouse if you find one. Just keep in mind the other people who will be forced to hide with you. If you're the hider/hunted and don't like your hiding place you are free to move. However, be aware that you have to be very fast and sneaky if you hear footsteps. While the chosen person hides inside, the people left outside count to 50 or 100. They should do this slowly to give the person hiding some time to find and get into a spot. If you have a larger playing area, like a big house or yard, you will want to give the person hiding more time.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Ask yourself why you want to keep a stallion. Evaluate your own temperament and experience. Watch and learn from expert stallion handlers. Master handling mares, foals, and geldings first. Assert control as soon as the stallion is ready to train.

Answer: Stallions are magnificent, powerful, and beautiful creatures, so the notion of keeping one can be quite alluring. You might also be drawn to the idea of raising baby horses and starting your own little stud farm. However, keeping a stallion is not a job for a novice. Talk to people with experience keeping and handling stallions to get an idea of the commitment it takes. Find out if there are any rules, laws, or codes restricting who can keep or show stallions. While there usually aren't laws against minors keeping or handling stallions, many show councils and breed organizations do prohibit it. At very least, a minor may need to be supported by an experienced adult while handling the stallion. Because they often require greater isolation in order to protect themselves, other horses, and people from injury, stallions often lead lonely lives. In many cases, gelding, or castrating, the horse may lead to greater happiness. If you've never handled a horse before, don't start with a stallion! Managing stallions is best left to experienced horse handlers. Also, to effectively handle a stallion, you need to be focused, confident, and assertivenever passive or fearful. Not all good horse-handlers make good stallion-handlers. If you don't have the temperament to be dominant without getting angry or turning cruel, it's best if you don't try to manage a stallion. Before attempting to manage a stallion yourself, take the time to observe several seasoned pros. Ask the handlers how their stallions are normally managed, and inquire about the equipment and techniques typically used. There's no single "right way" to handle a stallion, and a lot depends on the temperament of the individual horse. Pick up insights from several experts and use these to formulate your handling technique. Most experts agree that stallions are the hardest horses to handle. Gain experience working with foals (baby horses), geldings (castrated male horses), and mares (female horses) before moving on to stallions. It's a good idea to first master leading and controlling mares and adult geldings. You must have confidence and know the commands and rules for handling horses before you move on to stallions. Don't let a stallion be rambunctious and free-spirited early in life, and then expect to be able to exert control over it during adolescence. Instead, slowly and steadily assert your dominant position starting early in the stallion's life. Most horses will be weaned at 6 months to 1 year of age, and a training program can be instituted slowly after this point. Start with training sessions that last around 15 minutes, once per day, and add additional time or sessions as warranted by the horse's progress. Evaluate the horse during this early phase of life. If it has a particularly poor temperament for effective trainingit's too aggressive, for instanceit may be better to geld the horse.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Jog for 5-10 minutes. Mix high knees, butt kicks, and shuffling into your warm-up run. Warm up you hip muscles. Do lunges to prepare your quads and glutes Bend and flex to warm up joints and tendons. Avoid vigorous static stretching.

Answer:
No matter how long you are running, you never want to start at your fastest pace. You muscles need time to warm up and gain elasticity to be effective and avoid injury. Start at a pace roughly 40-50% your running speed to begin your warm-up. These are exaggerated runs that warm up specific muscles and help your legs prepare for a full range of motion. Do each of these "dynamic stretches" for at least a minute, or try skipping as well. High Knees: With every step, lift each knee up to hip height. Butt Kicks: Exaggerate lifting your back leg so your heel comes up and taps your buttocks. Shuffle Step: Turn sideways and move horizontally for 3-4 steps. Pivot on your front foot and face the other direction, shuffling for 3-4 steps before alternating again. These often forgotten muscles need to be loose for a smooth running motion. Take some time to do "hip openers and closers" to get ready. Hip Openers: Walking laterally (side to side), lift your front knee up to hip height and then slowly arc it out to the side, turning you the other direction. Repeat with the other foot. Hip Closers: Walking laterally, pick up your back leg and arc it in front of your body. Pivot on your balancing foot so that you face the other direction and repeat. . Your thighs and butt muscles are essential for running, especially up hill. Get them firing with some lunges: Step forward with one foot, bending 90 degrees at the knee. Rest on the toes of your back foot. Drop your hips down towards the ground, keeping your front knee bent at 90. Keep your back straight as your drop. Pick up your back foot and step forward with it, repeating on the other side of your body. Repeat 10-15 times on each side. Exhaling as you bend, bend with a curved back and reach for the ground. Return to standing position and then bend backward, thrusting your stomach out. Perform several twists to either side, turning from your hips, and then bend sideways each way while keeping your feet in place. These stretches loosen muscles and joints in your spine to prepare it for running. Static stretching is the classic "grab and hold for 10 seconds" stretch. Many studies show that static stretching can actually decrease by performance by tearing muscle fibers. After warming up, limit yourself to a few light 10-15 second stretches on any muscles that are still sore. A stretch should never hurt -- so don't push yourself thinking that you are getting a "better" stretch.
