INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you don't know anyone familiar with a soft surface to practice on. Gymnastic pads or mats are highly recommended. If you don't have access to them, use a firm mattress. Jump straight up as high as you can. Bend your knees and powerfully push your body up towards the sky. Use your arms to help you reach higher, and land on the balls of your feet. Do this several times. The idea is to increase your vertical leap so that you get enough height when doing the flip. Repeat with a running head start. Jog a few steps, hop, plant your feet and punch up with the balls of your feet as high as you can. Practice forward rolls from a standing position. Stand, roll, and stand. This will allow you to get a feel for how you will tuck in the air. Combine the above. Take a running start, jump high, and tuck in (but don't flip!). Bring your knees to your chest at the highest point. You don't need to hold your knees, but you can if you want. Dive roll to get you over the fear of rotating over your head. It'll also help you get the hang of leading the rotation with your shoulders, not with your legs. Jump a bit up and forward on a dive and slightly tuck your head inward towards your chest. You should feel your body starting to rotate without much well...effort.

SUMMARY: Enlist the help of an experienced spotter or you might get hurt. Prepare with exercises to strengthen your form.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Drugstores are going to have the largest selection of inexpensive cosmetics. It is possible to find high quality products nearly equal to department store brands at a lower cost. In fact, some of the drugstore brands are owned by the same companies that are sold in high end department stores. This doesn't always mean it is the same quality, but there are many hidden gems if you take a good look. Ask about the return policy. Buy from drugstores that allow you to return cosmetics if the color or quality turns out to be wrong. Make sure you aren't stuck with something that's just going to collect dust. If you don't feel comfortable with drugstore makeup, look online for deals on higher-end makeup. You can also try finding a new online exclusive brand you've never used before. But buying online can be tricky. Since you cannot test it out on your skin, be wary in purchasing large amounts. Check to see what the return policies are online. Keep in mind that you may have to pay for shipping as well. Oftentimes, drugstores, supermarkets, and sites online offer deals for high quality makeup. Look through places like Sephora, CVS, Walgreens, Target, Groupon, and Slickdeals. See if you can buy the quality products you want at a better price. Department stores will often give you samples if you spend a certain amount of money or buy an advertised product. If you make a purchase, be sure to ask for a sample and test to see if you'd like to purchase a bigger bottle in the future.

SUMMARY: Browse through drugstores. Search online. Find coupons and sales. Ask for samples.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Find a section of wall that does not have any pictures, fixtures, or switches on it. These will get in your way while you do the squats. Place the center of the ball against the wall at the level of your belly button and hold it with 1 hand. It doesn't matter which hand. You can buy an exercise ball online or in a sporting goods store if you don't have one. You can use any size exercise ball for the wall squat since you don't have to sit on it, but a smaller size works best. While holding the ball with 1 hand, turn away from the wall and press your lower back against the ball. Stand up straight with your arms at your sides, your feet shoulder-width apart, and your abdominal muscles tight. Look straight ahead as you get into position and while you do the exercise. Do not look up or down as this could strain your neck. Once you are in position, slowly bend your knees to lower yourself downwards until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Keep your back pressed against the ball as you do this. Hold the position for 3 seconds. After holding the position for 3 seconds, slowly straighten your legs again to stand back up. Center your weight over your heels rather than your toes or the balls of your feet. Keep your back pressed against the ball so that it will roll down your back as you roll upwards. Make sure to breathe normally as you do the exercise. It's best to inhale as you lower yourself and exhale as you stand back up. Repeat the process to do another squat and keep repeating it until you have done at least 10 squats. Then, rest for a few minutes, and do another set of 10. Continue to repeat this until you've completed a total of 3 sets. Keep in mind that if it's hard for you to do 10 repetitions, you can start with smaller sets. You will build strength by continuing to do the exercise regularly.

SUMMARY:
Position your exercise ball against a wall. Stand up straight with your lower back firmly against the ball. Bend your knees to roll the ball down the wall. Push through your heels to roll the ball back to the starting position. Do 10 repetitions of this exercise per set.
