In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Rinse it in cold water and leave it to air dry. You can help it along by patting it dry with a paper towel. Be gentle, so the leaves don't break or bruise. Wait until the parsley is fully dry to remove the leaves from the stems. Keep going until you have a big pile of parsley leaves. If you'd rather keep the stems, skip this step and keep the parsley intact. The key is to get it packed nice and tight, which will help to preserve it. Stuff the bag entirely full. Use a bag small enough that you can fill it up completely. Pop into the freezer. When you need parsley for a recipe, all you have to do is scrape the side of the ball using a knife. Pieces will come off ready for use and you don't even have to chop it.
Summary: Wash the parsley. Remove the stems. Roll the parsley into a ball. Pack it inside a freezer bag. Use the parsley as needed.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: No matter which type of braid you decide to use for this hairstyle, you can choose to make your braid either very tight or a little looser. If you want your finished hairstyle to look very polished, try to make your braids tight, but if you want it to be a little messier and more casual, make them looser. You can always loosen you braids up a little later on, but you can't make them tighter without redoing them. You can use any kind of braid you want with this hairstyle, but a classic three-strand braid is the most popular. This is also one of the easiest braids to create. Start your classic braid by dividing the piece of hair that you want to braid into three equal sections. Use your fingers to keep these sections separated as you work. Cross the left-most section of hair over the center section so that it is now between the two other sections. Then cross the rightmost section over the center section. Each time you cross a section over, it will become the center section. Continue following this pattern until you reach the bottom of the braid. Then use an elastic hair tie to secure the braid in place and move on to your next braid. For an interesting twist to this look, you can braid each section of your hair into fishtail braids instead of classic three-strand braids. These braids may look complicated, but they're really quite easy. To start your fishtail braid, divide the portion of hair that you want to braid into two halves. Use one of your index fingers to keep the two halves divided. Next begin braiding by taking a very small section from the outside of one half and crossing it over to join the other half. Alternate back and forth, taking a small section from the outside of each half, until you reach the bottom of your braid. Secure the end with a small elastic hair tie to keep the braid in place, and then move on to your second braid. Another simple way to change up the look of this style is to use a rope braid. This is a simple braid that actually involves more twisting than braiding. Get started by diving the section of hair that you want to braid into two equal halves. Hold each half in one hand. Next start twisting both of the strands individually. This will be easier to do if you are holding each section at the very bottom. Once each piece is twisted, started twisting them around each other by wrapping one section on top of the other, then underneath and around. Continue doing this until you reach the end of the hair, and then secure with an elastic band. When you're done, move on to your second braid.
Summary: Decide how tight you want your braid to be. Use a classic braid. Consider a fishtail braid. Try a rope braid.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The less fit you are, the more slowly you will need to ease into your workout routine, but the quicker you will see gains. If you are already very fit, you will have to work extremely hard to further improve your cardiovascular fitness. Before you can determine your maximum heart rate a key number for creating efficient workouts - you'll need to estimate your overall fitness level. Remember to start low and go slow. You do not want to overdo your workouts initially. This prevents injury and allows your body to catch up. Poor Shape If you do not exercise at all, or have not exercised in the last eight weeks. Remember: it does not matter how thin you are. You can be very thin and still in poor cardiovascular condition. Average Shape You participate in any aerobic activity walking, running, biking, swimming, rowing, etc. 3 times a week for 20 minutes. Good Shape You run or walk at least 5 miles a week, and have regular training sessions that total over 1 hour a week. Your HRmax is just what it sounds like: the fastest your heart can beat while exercising. It is the baseline for determining the heart rate ranges you will want to hit while working out, and differs for different types of exercise highest while running and lower while biking and swimming. The traditional way to calculate your HRmax is to subtract your age from 220. However, this method can be off by as many as 20 beats per minute (bpm). The HeartZones "best fit" formula to find your running HRmax: 210 minus 50% of your age minus 5% of your body weight (pounds) + 4 if male and 0 if female. Or try the following formula: 217 (.85 x age) and then add/subtract as follows: Subtract 3 beats for athletes in excellent shape under 30. Add 2 beats for a 50 year old athlete in excellent shape. Add 4 beats for athletes in excellent shape who are 55 and older. Subtract 3 beats for rowing training. Subtract 5 beats for bicycle training. There are two options for the SubMax test: The 1 Mile Walking Test Walk four continuous laps on a track as fast as is comfortable. During the last lap, take your pulse four times (while still walking), or use your heart rate monitor to determine your average heart rate.Then, add as follows: +40 bpm if in poor shape. +50 bpm if in average shape. +60 bpm if in good shape. The 3 Minute Step Test Use an 8" step. Step up and down in a four-count sequence, alternating between right and left foot (aka up, up, down, down) for one full set. Do 20 sets per minute for 2 minutes and then a third set of 20 while monitoring your heart rate. Add as follows: +55 bpm if in poor shape. +65 bpm if in average shape. +75 bpm if in good shape. You can have your physician supervise your test, or pay $75-100 for a test with an Exercise Test Technologist, certified by the ACSM. Or, you can do one of the following tests yourself: 800 Meter Track Test Wearing a heart rate monitor, run 400 meters (1,000ft) (1 lap) at 90-95% of your HRmax. For the second 400 meters, run as hard as you can. Record your maximum heart rate when you reach on the second lap. Hill Test Find a hill that takes about two minutes to run up, and is steep enough that you are breathing hard at the summit. Start the test about a 5 minute run from the hill. Start with a slow jog, then gradually accelerate so that you are running at 85% of your HRmax when you hit the base of the hill. Try to maintain your speed as you climb the hill. Note your highest heart rate on your way to the top of the hill.
Summary:
Determine your starting level in order to know how frequently and hard you can work out. Decide what kind of shape you are in. Estimate your maximum heart rate (HRmax). Test your maximum heart rate with a SubMax test. Perform a max heart rate stress test for the most accurate number.
