In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You want the ground to be lightly padded, since you're sure to fall over a couple of times. Outdoors, look for a grassy flat spot, and be sure to check for rocks and sticks. Indoors, a padded gym floor or carpeted room both work well. When you're learning how to do a handstand and walk on your hands, it helps to have someone nearby who can hold your legs in position until you get a feel for how to balance on your hands. Ask a friend to stand next to you while you practice. They should gently hold your legs straight once they're above your head. After practicing for awhile, you won't need as much help from your spotter. Ask them to stand back unless you're about to fall over. Stand up straight with your feet in a comfortable, balanced stance. Hold your arms by your ears, making sure to squeeze tight. Take a large enough step into a lunge. Before you start walking on your hands, you need to learn how to balance in place and gain control over your movements. Keep practicing your handstand until you're able to easily move into position and hold it for at least twenty seconds before rolling out. If you're having trouble getting the hang of it, try walking yourself up a sturdy wall. Get into a plank position with your feet toward the wall. Walk your feet up the wall and move your hands toward the wall until you're upright on your hands, using the wall as a brace. Try gently pushing off the wall so that your body is hand-standing without the wall. Eventually you'll need to get to the point where you can move into a handstand without using the wall. When you want to exit a handstand, roll out by bending your arms and tucking into a forward roll, or somersault. You can also simply drop your feet back and do a bridge, if you're flexible enough.
Summary: Find a good spot to practice walking on your hands. Get a spotter. Get into starting position. Hold the position for twenty seconds or more.

Go for a jog, run, bike ride, or briskly walk to burn extra calories each day. While what you eat matters more than what you burn, exercise will boost your metabolism to keep your body in calorie-burning mode.

For example: running on Monday, long-distance jogging on Tuesday, high-intensity aerobics on Wednesday, and so on. Do high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to blast more calories in less time.

Take a long walk outside (choose a path with hills if you can) or follow a 30-minute online yoga]routine. Look up your local gym or fitness center to find out what kind of classes they offer in the next 3 weeks. Try boot camp, barre method, power yoga, aerobics, or muscle pump classes. Ask a friend to join you for some of the classes to keep you accountable and make it more fun. Classes vary from 30 minutes to 1 hour (depending on the intensity and the gym). Many classes include both strength training and cardio intervals, so count those toward your daily exercise goals.

Problem: Article: If you feel comfortable, talk to them in person. However, you can also contact them online or via text message. Tell them "hello" and ask how they've been doing. You might say, "Hey! How's school going?" or "Hi! It's been a long time since we've talked. I was wondering how you've been." They're probably going to be surprised that you're reaching out to them since you've been enemies in the past. That means they may feel nervous about meeting up with you. Pick a place where neither of you have strong ties so that you can both feel like equals. For example, you might ask them to meet with you at a local coffee house that just opened. However, it might be best to avoid asking them to meet you at your lunch table or at your home. Say, "Want to grab a cup of coffee at Good Beans?" or "I'm going to feed the ducks at the park. Wanna come?" At first, they might be suspicious about why you're reaching out to them. Think about how you'd feel if they suddenly started talking to you. Let them know that you want to make up. Additionally, show them you're interested in a real friendship by telling them why you're reaching out. You could say, "I know things have been rocky between us, but I don't like that. I'd much rather us be friends," or "We've had some conflicts in the past, but I think we have a lot in common. Maybe we could try being friends."

Make the first move to open the lines of communication. Invite them to meet you in a neutral location. Give them a reason to see you as a friend. Look for common ground that you can use to build a friendship. Make friends with your enemy's friend group.
