The exact causes of IGH are still not fully known, but dermatological experts agree that long-term sun exposure is a major factor in practically every case. To reduce your exposure to the sun's UV rays, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen to your exposed skin every time you go outside, even on cloudy days. IGH spots nearly always occur in areas that are regularly exposed to the sun's UV rays, such as the lower legs and arms, the face, and the back of the neck. Along with using sunscreen when going outdoors, it's also a smart idea to wear a broad-brimmed hat and sunglasses to protect your head, face, and eyes. Consider also wearing long sleeves and pants on sunny days. Look for hats and clothing made of fabrics that provide UVA/UVB protection by checking the labels. Don't go out in the sun between 10 am and 4 pm because this is when the sun is the most powerful. Trauma to your skin can also predispose you to IGH, so make sure to protect your skin from injury as much as possible. If you get a skin injury, such as a burn or cut, then make sure to have it treated right away. Even if you take every recommended sun protection measure, you may end up with IGH spots due to genetics. Experts aren't entirely sure why, but IGH seems to run in families. If this is the case for you, though, don't use it as an excuse not to bother protecting your skin from the sun. IGH spots are more common on people with fair skin, but are more noticeable on people with darker skin.

Summary: Wear sunscreen every day. Cover exposed skin. Avoid skin trauma. See if IGH runs in your family.

Once you have woven the bracelet as long as you need it, take all three strings in your hand and tie a knot by making a loop with all three and pulling the ends of the three strings through the loop. If you want the knot to be more secure, you can tie a double knot. Remove the tape and take the top end of the bracelet in on hand and the bottom in the other. Tie these two ends together in a knot to complete the circle of your bracelet. If the bracelet is for you, have someone help you tie it directly on your wrist for you. Leave it loose enough that you can get it off without untying it, but not so loose it falls off. You should be able to fit two fingers between your wrist and your bracelet. If the bracelet is for a friend, you can tie it directly onto their wrist or ankle for the perfect fit. You can ask your friend to measure their wrist with a flexible tape measure like you would find in a sewing kit. Add an inch to that measurement for the size of your bracelet. You don't have to stick with just the three colors. You can make a slightly thicker bracelet with more colors and designs by adding more strings to the project. Add more strings of different colors as you choose. You may also want to separate the colors with some black thread, by tying three black knots between each block of color. Braid the remaining portion of the string on both ends beyond the knot. Tie another knot at the ends of the braids.

Summary: Tie a knot to secure the end. Tie the two ends of the bracelet together. Experiment with variations.

No matter what gymnastics move you're doing, you need to stretch first. You should at least stretch your ankles, hamstrings, neck, and wrists. To stretch your ankles, sit down on the floor. Prop one ankle up on the other knee, and rotate it in a circle a few times. Do the same with the other ankle. Stretch your hamstrings by pulling one leg up behind you while standing. Try to tighten your butt muscles while doing it. Switch to the other leg. Rotate your wrists and neck to get them stretched out. Run a couple of steps forward. An make sure you have good balance when doing so. On the last step, bring both feet together, and punch into the ground, pushing yourself into the air. You should land on the balls of your feet. As you push yourself into the air, lift your hands to your ears, so that you are keeping your core tight. You're not trying to flip right now. You're just practicing the jump. When you land, bend your knees slightly. Once you get the punch down, add in a knee lift then push your body foreword as you jump up, pull your knees up into the air. As you come back down, straighten back out. Bend your knees as you land. One safe way to practice these steps is on your trampoline in the back yard. You can go through each of the steps in this section on your backyard trampoline to get the feeling of the moves. When you start out on the trampoline, make sure you are tight. That is, keep your head steady and your body straight. You don't want your head and body flopping around, as that can lead to injuries. Start by getting a bounce going by jumping a little forward into a punch. Once you've got the punch down, try adding in the knee lift. Before doing a front flip, you want to make sure you're getting as much height as possible. Really punch off the ground when you're jumping. In addition, it's really best to work with someone if you've never done it before. Try a gymnastics or parkour gym to get some tips. In addition, you'll have access to things like spring floors at these gyms, making it a whole lot easier. Realize that if you're trying to do gymnastics as an adult, the consequences can be more severe than when you're learning as a kid. That is, as a kid, you only weigh 40 or 50 pounds when starting out in gymnastics, plus you're a lot more flexible. As an adult, you weigh a lot more, and you don't bend as easily. Therefore, it's easier for you to get injured. You probably shouldn't try a front flip if you have back or knee issues, at least not without consulting a doctor first.
Summary: Stretch first. Practice your jump first by doing a punch. Practice with a knee lift. Try practicing on a trampoline. Decide you're ready to do a front flip.
