INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To start, remove the shower curtain from the wall in your bathroom. Then, place it in your washing machine. Make sure you remove any metal hooks that may be on the shower curtain before placing it in your washing machine. This helps prevent the shower curtain or liner from wrinkling, sticking to itself, and being torn apart in the machine. The towels also scrub the shower curtain while the washing machine is going. Take one to two white towels and throw them into the washing machine. The towels you use should be clean. Add the normal amount of laundry detergent you would use for a load of laundry. From there, add half a cup to a cup of baking soda. Bigger shower curtains will require more baking soda. Turn on your washing machine. Select the highest cleaning level. Wash your shower curtain in warm water. For mildly dirty shower curtains, you do not need anything other than baking soda and detergent. However, if there is a lot of mildew and other stains on your curtain, add bleach. After adding your baking soda and detergent, turn the machine on. Pour in half a cup of bleach as the washer fills with water. Only add bleach if your shower curtain is white or transparent. When the washing machine switches to the rinse cycle, open the machine. Pour in a half cup to a cup of the distilled vinegar. Restart the machine and allow it finish the cycle. Never dry a shower curtain. Instead, hang it back up in the shower after it's done in the washing machine. It should drip dry on its own from there.

SUMMARY: Place the shower curtain or liner into your washing machine. Place one or two towels into the washing machine. Add baking soda and detergent. Start the machine. Use bleach for built-up stains. Add vinegar during the rinse cycle. Hang the shower curtain or liner to drip-dry.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you've noticed your dog showing common behavioral issues, like pulling on his leash during walks, having bad manners around other dogs and people, or barking and whining, your dog might not understand the rules of how he should behave. Without an established leader, your dog will misbehave, which can cause the behavioral problems. If you take on the role of leader, you can reduce your dog's anxiety and nervousness. Your dog will also be less likely to act out, potentially harming you or others. Fortunately, you can make changes to the social structure of your household no matter how old or young your dog is. To better communicate, realize that your dog tends to live in the present much more than you do. This means your dog is much more comfortable with learning new things or new situations, regardless of any trouble he may have had with them in the past. If you start to think in the present too, you'll understand your dog better. Since dogs don't communicate the same way as humans do, learn to read your dog's dog body language so you can understand your dog's state of mind. Your dog should look to you for guidance in certain situations. If your dog usually decides when to use these areas, then the boundaries are not clear within your family. You should also set boundaries by only responding to calm behavior. For example, teach your dog that he will only get his food if he's relaxed, not jumping up on you begging to be fed. Be firm with the boundaries you set. For example, if you never allow your dog to play in a certain room, offer him alternative spaces to play and make sure he never plays in an off-limits area. Bending the rules will only confuse your dog. Don't forget that playtime is important for your dog's mental stability and your relationship with your dog. Part of your job as leader is guiding your dog through life by being a confident, loving, tough, and fair leader. In the wild, leaders enforce rules and boundaries with a calm and assertive energy. Leaders don't bully or use violence to show their authority, and neither should you. While it's easy to become frustrated with your dog if he continually breaks rules, never lose your patience. Remember, your dog can sense changes in your attitude and energy better than other humans can. This makes it especially important to stay calm during emotional situations.
Summary: Determine if your dog is poorly behaved. Think like a dog. Create boundaries. Have fun and play with your dog. Remain calm.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you currently exercise in the afternoon or evening, consider changing your exercise routine to the morning hours. Some studies have shown that morning workouts boost your body's ability to burn calories from stored fat instead of using calories you've consume through food during the day. Schedule workouts for 20 to 30 minutes after you wake up. In addition, getting up in the morning will help ensure you don't get too busy or tired during the day and then skip a workout later on. Changing up your routine can be difficult at first. But after a couple days of getting up earlier (and going to bed a little earlier), you'll be just fine with your new AM routine. HIIT workouts are popular these days and for good reason. Studies have shown they help burn more fat and keep your metabolism elevated longer than traditional exercise. Typical HIIT workouts alternate between bursts of very high intensity exercise (like sprinting) and bouts of more moderate intensity exercise (like jogging). Include one to two days of HIIT workouts each week. Perform 45 minutes of cardio with a 10 minute warm up and 10 minute cool down. The 25 minutes in between should be devoted to sprinting for 30 seconds to one minute and returning to moderate intensity for two to four minutes. HIIT boosts the production of the human growth hormone by 450 percent for 24 hours. It helps you lose fat rather than muscle, so it is ideal for weight loss. High-intensity is 80 to 85 percent of your maximum heart rate. You cannot keep up a conversation and you get extremely "winded." Moderate-intensity is 65 to 80 percent of maximum heart rate. You can keep up a conversation with a friend, but are short of breath. Alternate between these two. On alternating days where you are not doing a HIIT workout, include some strength training. Keep in mind that it takes a while to build muscle. However, regular weight training along with a healthy diet can help you to build muscle mass over the course of four to 12 weeks, which will boost your metabolism. Strength training exercises help you build lean muscle mass. The more lean muscle mass you have, the higher your metabolism will be. Start your week with popular exercises like bicep curls, tricep presses, chest presses, rows, squats, lunges, and calf raises. These are quick to do and can be easily incorporated into your current exercise routine. Try new weight machines, kettle bells or TRX straps as well. Better yet, work out with a friend or personal trainer who can show you how to use new equipment. Work to the burn for 12 to 15 reps. Do two to three sets. In addition to HIIT and strength training workouts, include a few days of other types of cardiovascular activity. These types of exercises also help support weight loss. Like HIIT, cardio also burns a significant amount of calories per session. Include 150 to 300 minutes of cardio exercises each week (HIIT can count towards this as well). Other activities can include: jogging/running, using the elliptical, dancing, swimming or taking an aerobics class. One of the main differentiating points of cardio and HIIT, is that these cardio exercises are done at a constant, moderate intensity and not alternating between high and moderate intensity levels.

SUMMARY:
Work out in the morning. Do high-intensity interval training (HIIT). Start weight training. Include other forms of cardio.
