Plastic "speed" ropes are more durable than cotton ropes and whip around faster, which will create a more intense workout. They're also good for doing advanced jump rope moves, like the single leg jump or the alternate foot jump. This will help to gradually prepare your lower body for the impact of jumping. Don't jump on hard surfaces like concrete, as this can put stress on your knees and lead to injury. This will help you lose weight and get better at jumping rope. Try a 15 minute circuit, once a day, to burn fat and tone your body. You will need a jump rope, a timer, and an exercise mat. Jump rope for 1 minute, with both feet together. Do 20 lunges, 10 per side. Jump rope for 1 minute. Do 10 pushups. Jump rope for 1 minute with both feet together. Do a 30-second plank. Jump rope for 1 minute. Rest for 10 seconds. Repeat this circuit one more time, with a one minute rest between each circuit.

summary: Look for a beaded or plastic rope. Jump on a waxed or wooden floor. Integrate the basic jump into a strength training circuit.

All pets are different and have unique personalities. Some do well when left alone for longer periods of time and others do not. Pets that are more social, have medical conditions, or that are used to having lots of interaction with others may not do as well on their own for long periods of time. Also consider your pet's feeding schedule or if your pet likes to get into things and make a mess when you are not around. Younger pets may not be able to handle being left alone as well as more mature pets. If your animal has separation anxiety, a pet-sitter or a boarding house may be a good option. Two weeks before your vacation, start leaving your pet home alone for longer periods of time. If you usually leave your pet at home while you are away at work, leave your house for a couple of hours after work each day. If you usually see your pet during the day, leave your pet at home while you are at work. This will prepare your pet to spend more time alone. If you are leaving your pet in someone else's care, it is important that you give him or her enough information to care for your pet. Leave your contact information, the phone number of your veterinarian in case of an emergency. If your pet has any special dietary needs or likes specific treats or toys, write this information down. Include information about your pet's routine, bathroom habits, schedule, and any medications. Also include any information about your pet's personality that someone may need to know. Does your pet get excited when someone is at the door? Does your pet have a favorite hiding place? Be as detailed as possible when writing down the instructions. It is better to give someone too much information than not enough. It is important that your pet is up-to-date on vaccinations and is healthy before you leave for vacation. This is also the time to ask about the best options for leaving your pet when you are gone. Your veterinarian may have recommendations for pet sitters and boarding options. Leaving your pet in a safe and trusted place will keep you from worrying while you are gone.

summary: Assess your pet's needs. Adjust your pet's schedule. Write detailed instructions. Talk to your veterinarian.

Typically, the first thing on a golf scorecard is the list of holes. Golf courses vary between 9 hole courses and 18 hole courses. Some scorecards will have a map of the course with each hole on the map having its number next to it. Holes are typically played in order from 1 to 18. In some cases, like when the course is especially busy, players may start on the 10th and finish on the 9th hole. Players will start on the 10th hole and play from 10 to 18. After 18, players will then play from the 1st hole to the 9th hole to complete their round. Full size or 18 hole courses are split into 2 9s, or 2 9 hole sections. Holes 1 to 9 are known as the front 9 and holes 10 to 18 are known as the back 9. After the 9th and 18th hole sections of the scorecard you will see the words "Out" and "In" respectively. The 9th hole marks the end of the "Out" section which means playing away from the clubhouse. The 18th hole marks the end of the "In" section which means playing back toward the clubhouse. These colors represent the placement of the tee boxes on each hole. The numbers beside the color and beneath each hole denote the distance of that hole. Each color has a different meaning: Black or gold tees are the furthest from the hole. These tees are usually only played from by professionals or very high standard amateurs. Most courses do not have black or gold tees. Blue markers reflect the tee boxes for local competitions. These tees are normally used by very good amateur players. If a course doesn't have black or gold tees, the blue tee boxes are the furthest from the hole. White tees are the middle tees, most often used by golfers with middle to high handicaps. Red tees are the shortest member's tees. These tees are the closest to the fairway and make the course much shorter than the other tees. Green tees are used by junior golfers or beginners. Most scorecards also have a column which notes the handicap or index of each hole. These numbers range from 1-18 and note the difficulty of each hole. Index 1 is the hardest hole on the course and index 18 is the easiest. Some cards also have a section for "women's handicap." Some holes may play differently for women and men and this is why some courses have separate sections. The handicap of each hole rarely overlaps with a player's handicap. Match-play is one area of golf where both handicap's are relevant. In match-play players play each other in 1 vs. 1 situations. If Player A has a handicap of 2 and Player B has a handicap of 7, the difference is 5. Player B will then be allowed an extra shot on the 5 hardest holes, or the 5 holes with the lowest index. If Player A gets a 4 on one of these 5 holes and Player B gets a 5, they tie because of Player B's handicap. Par means the expected number of strokes on a hole. For example, you should take 4 shots on a par 4 and 3 shots on a par 3. You can find the par information in the par row on the scorecard. The average golf course is a par 72, which means that the pars of all the holes added together equals 72. Par generally relates to length. Par 3s are the shortest holes on golf courses and par 5s are the longest holes. The most common par on a course is a par 4. If you look at the "Out" and "In" columns on the scorecard you will see the par for each set of 9 holes. A par 72 golf course will usually have 2 9 holes that are both par 36.
summary: Find the "hole" column which lists the holes from 1 to 18. Identify the front and back 9 sections that split the course into 2 halves. Note the color names on the side which indicate each hole's distance. Look for the handicap section which ranks the holes by difficulty. Spot the par information which states how many shots you should take.
