In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Loosening up your muscles before you jump will prevent injuries or cramping later on. Stretch for around one or two minutes before practicing triple jumps, especially if you haven't practiced for several days. Don't just stretch your legs: stretch your arms, back, shoulders as well. Plan on three or four stretches, while holding each between 15-20 seconds. Single leg hops are a good way to strengthen control over your leg muscles. Lift one leg behind your back, heel up, and begin jumping with the other. Make sure to land on the ball of your foot rather than the heel. Continue jumping rhythmically on one foot, then switch to the other after a set time. This is one set. Finish two or three sets before you begin the triple jump. You can also jump rope to practice your final landing. For good form during your triple jump, you will need flexibility to lift your knees parallel to your hips. To perform high knees, lift one knee as high as it will go, then switch to your other knee. The movement should look like an exaggerated march. Move down a small stretch of track (between 15-20 meters) while you practice high knees to warm up your glutes and hip flexors. Drills incorporate the fundamentals of the triple jump before you start practicing. Practice at least one or two jumping drills to get your body in exercise mode. Choose your daily drills based on your weaknesses. Hopping drill: Try hopping up stairs or around orange cones. Stepping drill: Practice a series of "hop-steps" with each hop-step progressively longer. Jumping drill: Stand with both feet together next to the sand pit and jump in and out of the pit with your feet together.
Summary: Begin with stretching exercises. Practice single leg-hopping. Try high knees. Do jumping drills.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Avoid one-on-one encounters with your crush until you've practiced getting your nerves under control. Hanging around in a group setting will take a lot of pressure off of you and make you feel a lot less self-conscious. Even if they don't know about your crush, your friends being there will lend the moral support you'll need to relax. You don't have to go overboard. But if you overheard that your crush may be heading to the same party as you? Wear your best jeans rather than the comfortable pair with one hole too many. The worst case scenario means you just spent the night looking marvelous for everyone else. Eye contact can be difficult when you're nervous. Constantly staring at your shoes when your crush is around is decidedly uncool. A pair of sunglasses will make things easier by letting you appear to look directly at your crush without actually having to make eye contact. Don't wear shades at night or indoors. Above all, you want to look natural in front of your crush. People don't normally wear sunglasses away from the sun. Your shades may look out of place and draw unwanted attention. If you can look your crush in the eye, skip the shades. Maintaining eye contact makes you look more confident. It can also subtly single to your crush that you're interested without saying a word. Controlled breathing works two-fold: It keeps you mentally relaxed and prevents you from getting winded. When people are nervous, the jitters can often show up in their voice and they may find themselves gasping for air while standing still. If you feel yourself starting to blush, breathe deeply through your nose. Deep breathing will calm you and reduce flushing in your face. Talk about topics you're knowledgeable about and ask your crush about what interests him or her. Try to make sure everyone involved in a conversation gets a roughly equal amount of time to speak. Ask your crush questions about his or her goals and aspirations. Try to stick to positive topics, and answer questions about yourself freely. You don't need to be guarded to look good in front of your crush. Use these conversations as an opportunity to learn more about your crush so that you can make an educated decision about a possible future relationship. You may find out that the two of you are incompatible. Or, you may find out that your crush already has a significant other or is not attracted to people of your gender. If that's the case, you will need to let your crush go.
Summary: Make sure you have a friend or two close by. Try dressing up a bit if you think you may run into your crush. Wear sunglasses if you have trouble making eye contact. Keep your breathing even and steady. Be a good conversationalist.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you're trying to identify a song simply using a melody, it is first important to consider how much of that melody you actually remember. Every little bit of information helps, and will increase the likelihood that a friend will be able to pinpoint the song for you. Being a more attentive listener throughout your music-listening habits will make future scenarios like this much easier to grapple with. Take care to make sure that all of the information you think you remember is actually right. The memory can be a strange thing, and a few botched notes in your melody can lead your helper completely astray. Choosing the right person to help you has a lot to do with what you currently remember of the song itself. If you distinctly remember the song's melody chances are you'll know the genre as well. Many people prefer certain genres over others, and the ones that tend to listen to the genre of the song in question will subsequently have the highest chance of successfully helping you out. Enlisting the help of friends with formal musical training is helpful too, as they are used to identifying music purely on the basis of melody. Find somewhere non-distracting and relatively quiet; that way, there won't be uncontrolled factors hindering the process. Sit down with your friend and recreate the melody for them, whether with your voice or the piano. Take care to accurately reproduce the cadence and rhythm of the melody as well-- melody entails far more than a simple sequence of notes! While you can technically recreate the melody on just about any musical instrument, it's actually recommended you try doing it with your voice. Especially if you're not a trained musician yourself, the human voice offers a lot of potential for expression. In singing the melody, you might be able to get some of the timbre and tone across as well, making your approximation that much more specific. Giving your helper some context as to the tone, rhythm and general style of the song can help them pinpoint a song just as well as any melody. Part of what you're doing is trying to give them an accurate impression inside their head as to the song. That way, they'll have an easier time to pinpointing it. Many melodies can be used by multiple songs, so providing a little bit of context can go a long way towards helping identifying the song in question. Now that you've given them the melody, you and your friend can brainstorm as to what it's about. Encourage them to ask you questions about the song. It is possible you still remember more than the information you've offered them. Give another hum to the melody once the two of you have discussed it a little bit, and see if either of you approach it any differently. While you're talking and humming the melody, you should remain open to the possibility that you'll remember the song yourself, provided it's something you've forgotten as opposed to trying to identify it from scratch. If the first person you ask isn't successful, you should try getting help from other people. In the case of identifying a melody, in most cases it's a simple matter of having it click instantly. What ends up leading to the brainstorming stage for some people may be an instant bid for others. Don't lose hope if you can't get it right the first time; find someone new, and begin the process again.
Summary:
Consider what you know of the song. Find a friend who might know the song. Play or sing the melody. Describe the other parts of the music you remember. Brainstorm. Ask others.
