In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It's a good idea to continue to exercise while you attempt to gain weight the healthy way. However, it's probably best to lay off the cardio (which burns those hard-earned calories) and focus on strength training instead (which builds muscle mass and helps you to gain weight). Strength training includes working with weights and performing exercises such as squats, deadlifts, bench presses, bicep curls, crunches, chin-ups and leg curls. If you've never done strength training before, it's a good idea to enlist the help of a personal trainer who can show you how to perform the exercises safely and correctly. Just keep in mind that the more you exercise, the more calories you will need to consume to replace those you lost while working out. This is where protein shakes and bars really come in handy. Luckily, exercising should also increase your appetite. Smoking is a bad idea for those who are trying to gain weight as it suppresses the appetite. Although it won't be easy, quitting is the healthiest option - not only will it increase your appetite but it will improve your overall appearance, not to mention the health of your lungs. If quitting seems too extreme, at least avoid smoking for an hour or two before meals. Keeping a food journal will allow you to keep track of your weight gain and enable you to see which methods are working and which or not. Make a note of every calorie you consumed that day and every calorie you burned (to the best of your knowledge). Also write down your weight after each weekly weigh in. See the numbers written down in black and white will help you to figure out what your you're doing wrong or what you could improve on. It will also help to keep you motivated once you begin to see progress. Stress may also be contributing to your low weight. When people are stressed, they can neglect basic things like eating regularly and well and exercising. Try to keep your stress levels down. Take time every day to unwind and relax. You might try relaxation techniques, yoga, or meditation to help you control your stress levels. If it helps, you can join a class. Make time for things that you enjoy, too. Take time to read or watch a movie in the evening. Take a warm bath before bed. Gaining weight is not an easy process - in fact, gaining weight can be much harder than losing it. However, it is important that you stay committed and keep your eyes on the prize. Set small, manageable goals for yourself - like aiming to gain 4 pounds in a month. This will give you something more tangible to work towards. If you set your goals too high, it's easy to become overwhelmed and feel like giving up. The most important thing through the entire weight gain process is to stay healthy - eating a balanced diet and continuing to exercise throughout. Bingeing on junk food many seem like the easier option, but your overall health will suffer and you will not be able to maintain the weight in the long run. Remember that you're not just trying to gain weight - you're trying to overhaul your entire attitude towards food.
Summary: Gain muscle mass. Quit smoking. Keep a food journal. Reduce your stress. Stay committed. Stay healthy.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: No matter what you hope to spread to the masses, you need to know as much about it as possible before you start telling others about it. This is true of any cause, event, business, or other activity. When you're dealing with an external cause, gather all the facts and figures you'll need to persuade others to care about it as much as you do. If you're spreading the word about a business or event you started, prepare to answer questions about why your work warrants attention. In many cases, there are already related communities and resources in existence. Find out if you can use these resources to spread your own specific message to the masses. For example, join communities made up of other people who fight for your cause or work in a similar trade. Even if you cannot use these resources to spread your message to the general masses, you might at least be able to spread the word to those within these related communities. People are more likely to pay attention when they'll get something from it. Similarly, people are also more likely to spread the word to others if they'll benefit from doing so. Encourage people to act quickly by offering an incentive limited by time or quantity. For example, the cost of your product, service, or event tickets might be cut to 50% for anyone who purchases by the end of the week or for the first 25 customers. Encourage your current contacts to help you reach more people by offer referral incentives. Tell your contacts that they have the opportunity to win a prize if they share your link on Facebook or Twitter. Alternatively, offer a 15% discount on an existing customer's next purchase for every successful referral. You might have more success reaching the masses if you focus your efforts during a period of time when the masses are most likely to listen. Consider community events and activities. If your city hosts a popular event, consider advertising during that event. Try pitching your business or cause during different holidays. For instance, people might be more interested in purchasing a novelty gift around a major gift-giving holiday than they would be during the rest of the year.
Summary: Inform yourself. Piggyback on existing resources. Offer incentives. Time it right.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Hold your hand flat with your palm facing up and your fingers together. Lay a ruler onto your palm vertically with the zero mark at the base of your hand. Record the number in inches or millimeters that you see on the ruler at the top of your middle finger. Goalie gloves are supposed to fit somewhat loosely. Because of this, you'll need to add 1 inch (25mm) in order to get the right size. This is only the case for adult sizes, not youth sizes. For example, if the length of your hand is 7 inches (197 mm), you're a size 9 because you'd round up to 8 inches (200mm) and then add 1 inch (25mm). Unlike adult sizes, youth sizes match the hand length measurement. If you're a kid, all you need to do is measure the length of your hand and round up to the nearest whole number. For example, if your hand length is 4 inches (121 mm), then you're a youth size 5. If the length of your hand measures just over a whole number, then you might be in between sizes. If this happens, you can verify your size by measuring your hand a different way. Use a ruler or measuring tape to measure across the widest part of your palm. Double that number and then add 1 inch (25mm) to find your size. For example, if the width of your palm measures 3 inches (83 mm), you'd double that to get 6 inches (165 mm) and round up to 7 inches (180mm). This means that you're a size 7.
Summary:
Use a ruler to measure the length of your hand. Round up and add 1 inch (25mm) to determine adult size. Round up to the nearest whole number to determine youth size. Verify your size by measuring the width of your palm.
