INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When you're done using the wrench, turn both dial settings on the handle back to 0. Leaving the dial turned to a torque setting higher than 0 can throw the calibration off over time. Turning the wrench to negative numbers is equally as bad for your wrench. One of the easiest ways to damage your wrench is to allow rust and grime buildup inside your sockets. This makes it harder for your torque wrench to get an adequate grip on the socket and can cause a lot of problems over time. Clean each bolt or nut that you plan on tightening with a towel or rag before attaching your wrench. Torque wrenches aren't meant to be lubricated. Get any grease or lubricant off of your bolt or nut by using a degreaser before attaching a socket. Unless you have years of experience working on cars, it's best to have a mechanic or torque wrench specialist calibrate your torque wrench for you. When using your torque wrench, a discrepancy will naturally develop between the measurements on your handle and the actual torque of the wrench. Fix this problem and prevent dangerous scenarios by getting your wrench calibrated once a year. Calibration usually costs between $25-75 USD.

SUMMARY: Dial the wrench back to zero when you're done using it. Clean dirty or rusty nuts or bolts before loosening them. Get your wrench calibrated at least once a year.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: For Pilates, you want stretchy, breathable fabrics and comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely. At the same time, you don't want anything too loose or too long that you could get caught in or trip on. Popular clothing choices include: Tank tops and tight t-shirts Yoga pants Shorts or capris-length pants in a spandex-type material Yoga mats aren't just for toting around and looking hip! They actually provide some protection for your bones and joints during floor exercises, and the foam surface provides grip, making it easier to hold poses, and preventing you from injuring yourself or pulling a muscle. To do Pilates mat exercises, you need a large open space and a flat surface. A living room or bedroom will work if you can move some lighter furniture around. Make sure you have enough room to: Lie down on your back and extend your arms and legs out 90 degrees to the sides. Stand up and stretch your arms to the ceiling without touching the ceiling. Lie down on your back in the same position (legs stretched out toward one wall and arms stretched out toward the other). A major part of Pilates is learning the controlled breathing, which helps you concentrate, oxygenates the blood, and helps you coordinate your movements. Proper breathing should be practiced throughout the entire workout. To breathe properly for Pilates: Lie flat on your back with your neck long and relaxed. Place one hand on your ribs and one on your lower abs. Inhale deeply through your nose, pushing air into your abdominals and filling your ribcage. Exhale through the mouth and push the air out by contracting your abdominal muscles. Continue inhaling and exhaling in this way. Along with proper breathing, some of the main tenets of Pilates are being able to center yourself (which helps with relaxation), concentrating your full attention on each motion and controlling every movement, and being aware of proper body alignment and striving to maintain it. Not only will you get a better workout by focusing on these things, but you'll also prevent injuries. Always keep your core engaged during your Pilates workout.

SUMMARY: Dress appropriately. Get yourself an exercise mat. Find a space. Learn the proper breathing technique. Know what to work toward.
