Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Determine how the characters will move around the game environment. Write a list of the illnesses and injuries that can harm the players. Create remedies for each character if you want to lengthen the game. Determine growth mechanics for the characters. Decide how you win the game.

Answer: Many RPG games allow the character to move according to their amount of speed or health. For example, if you have 5 health, you could move 5 spaces. Another option is to roll a dice to determine how far a character can move. If the game doesn't require a lot of moving, consider giving each player a set distance that they can move each turn. Write down how the player will move on the character sheet. This helps each player to remember the rules. During the game, the players will need to face hardships. These can come in the form of injury, illness, or magic spells. Popular ailments include blindness, influenza, poison, fainting, unconsciousness, paralysis, and death. Decide how the players will come into contact with each affliction. Poisoned weapons and disease outbreaks are a common way that players get sick. Combat and lots of movement tend to lead to weariness and injury. Magic spell cards are another popular way of causing harm. Determine how long the damage of each effect will last. For example, if a player contracts influenza, it may last 2 turns, whereas if they have a broken leg, they may be out of action for 3 turns. Consider rolling the dice to determine the strength of the damage. For example, roll a dice after drinking poison to determine how long the effects lasts. if you roll a 1, you are out of play for 1 turn, but if you roll a 6, you miss 6 turns. Write a list of the remedies available for each injury or disease. Popular remedies include herbs, magic potions, medicine, and resting areas. Remedies are often available in shops and can be bought with the game currency. Alternatively, make the creation of the remedy part of the gameplay. For example, if a player needed a potion to heal their wound, you could decide that they need to gather the ingredients from 3 different towns to make the potion. Most RPGs allow the characters to grow their stats by achieving different objectives or visiting different locations. For example, if you fight off an opponent, you might get an extra strength point or if you go to the library, you could receive an extra intelligence point. Use dice to vary how much each character grows. For example, if you charm a civilian, roll a dice to determine how many charisma points you receive. This needs to be clearly outlined in the rules so that all the players understand what the main objective of the game is. Popular win objectives include reaching a certain number of points, achieving an objective, or reaching a certain point in the map.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Practice on a rowing machine. Strengthen your core. Target your lower body. Strengthen your arms.

Answer: The best way to prepare you to row on a boat in the water is by building your body strength on a water rower machine. This machine will target all the areas on your body that you will be using when in an actual boat: your legs, core, and upper body. You can purchase one of these machines for home use, or you can find them in many gyms or work out facilities. There are many exercises you can do to strengthen your core and abs. These exercises will help target not just your core, but your upper body as well: Plank: Lie face down on the ground. Place your elbows on the ground underneath your shoulders with your forearms extended straight in front of you. Then, left yourself up on your toes and your forearms, keeping your body straight. Hold this position for 30 seconds to two minutes, increasing the amount of time you hold as you get stronger. Side plank: Begin in the same position as the plank and lift yourself up onto your arms and toes. Then, slowly turn your body to the side, so that your weight is resting on one foot and one arm (either your left foot and arm or your right). Make sure your body is in a straight line and you aren't leaning over. Hold this position for 30 seconds to two minutes and then switch to the other side. V-sit hold: Sit on the ground with your legs straight in front of you and your upper body straight. Then, extend your arms out in front of you and slowly lift your legs off the ground. As you lift your legs off the ground, keep them straight, and slowly lean your upper body back, making sure to keep your back straight as you do so. Hold this position for 30 to 90 seconds. Your lower body is important when it comes to rowing because 60 percent of the strength you use to row should come from your legs. There are many exercises you can do to improve lower body strength, but a few to start with are: Bridge: Lie on your back with you knees bent and feet flat against the floor, hip width apart. Then, slowly lift up your butt, using your glutes, until you have a straight line going from your shoulders to your knees. Hold the position for one to two minutes, or lower your butt and raise it again at a quick pace without letting your butt touch the ground. To make this position even harder, you can extend one leg straight out, keeping it in the air as you raise your butt. Barbell squat: Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and place a barbell behind your head across your shoulders and grip it with your hands. Squat like you are about to sit down, keeping your upper body straight and your chest out. Go as low as you can and then, stand back up and repeat. Do three sets of 12 reps. Barbell/dumbbell lunges: Start by standing up with your feet together. Position the barbell as you did before, or hold a dumbbell in each hand. Then, take a step forward, bending your front knee so it creates a right angle, and lowering your back knee so that it almost touches the ground. Then, bring your back foot next to your front foot and repeat on the other side. You can do these in place, or you can do them walking. Try to do 50 yards of walking lunges. Most rowers actually focus more on their core and legs because that is where most of their strength will come from, but it can be beneficial to improve your upper body strength as well. Along with doing planks, you can do a few of these exercises to improve your arm muscles: Plank push ups: Start in the plank position, but instead of putting your elbows on the ground, you will put your hands underneath your shoulders. Push up to a plank position, with your weight on your hands and toes. Then, lower your body, keeping your elbows close to your body (you don't want them to push outwards away from the body). Don't allow your body to touch the floor, and then push yourself up again into that plank position. Reverse grip pulldowns: This exercise requires a pulldown machine. Sit at the machine and reach above you with an underhand grip to reach the pulldown bar. Then, slowly pull it down, using your upper body strength rather than momentum, until the bar is in line with your chest. Then, slowly allow the bar to go back to its starting position and repeat. Barbell rows: This is a great exercise to target the muscles you'll need for rowing. Position your hands shoulder width apart on a barbell on the ground with an overhand grip. Bend your body over so that your back is flat, in a table top position and your knees are straight or slightly bent, depending on your flexibility. Then, lift the barbell up to your chest, keeping your back flat, and lower back down (try not to let it touch the ground). Do five sets of five reps and try to place as much weight on the barbell as possible.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Build resilience Use the past for guidance rather than regret. Avoid giving up. Learn from mistakes. Ask for help.

Answer:
. Having resilience means that you can keep working toward your goals even if things do not go your way. Building this skill takes time and practice, but it can help you to overcome disappointment more easily. To build resilience, you can: Put things into perspective. When something does not go your way, consider if it is something that is worth spending time and energy on. For example, if you had hoped to get a job that you interviewed for and did not get it, then your time and energy might be better spent applying for different jobs. Take a moment to put your situation into perspective to help you build up your resilience. Maintain good relationships. If you have good relationships, then you will probably feel more secure when something does not go your way. Try to maintain healthy relationships with your friends and family to feel more secure during difficult times. Challenge unhelpful thoughts. Resilient people can alter their thinking to help themselves stay motivated and to continue working towards their goals. You can do this too by challenging thoughts that are untrue or unhelpful. For example, if you find yourself thinking, "I will always fail," then you can challenge this untrue and unhelpful thought. Try telling yourself something like, "Things might not always go my way, but if I keep working towards my goals then I will achieve them." The past is just that, the past. While you can't take back what has happened, you can use this experience as a helpful tool. Think about how the best and the worst of the situation for you or others you care about. What can you or others learn from this? For example, let's say you're working an important project with a small team. Maybe the project is bigger than expected, and more time consuming than you thought? So the team ends up rushing to complete the project and it seems to you like the project is failing. This could be an opportunity to understand when to ask for additional help. Maybe you and the team could take a different approach to the project? Maybe the project isn't as bad as it seems because you had too high expectations? While this is all in hindsight, it's important to see what happens next as a way to grow. When something doesn't go the way you'd like, you may feel like you've failed. Avoid seeing yourself with hate, and instead focus on what you are thankful for. Resilience is key to keeping yourself motivated.. Giving up means giving into your own self-doubts. Reframe your negative thoughts by thinking about the good things that have happened. Even if they are small things. For example, if you were hoping to get an A on an exam and instead got a C, think about how you can look at the bigger picture. Maybe this is your only C on an exam this semester? Maybe this isn't the only test for the class so you can study harder on the other exams? Maybe the other students all got Cs on the exam too? Life is trial and error. Some mistakes are our own, and some are those of others or simply forces beyond our control. Own up to your mistakes, but avoid dwelling in them. When you are honest with yourself, then you can learn to grow and become better. Mistakes are learning opportunities. They can push you to the invisible boundaries of what's possible and what's not. When you try new things, it's possible you'll make mistakes. This is part of life. It can make you stronger and more prepared for the next time. Consider saying to yourself, "I know that I messed up, but it's not the end of the world" or "I can learn from this. I can be better. I can be ready for the next time." There's no shame in asking for input. Talk with people that you trust about what they think about the situation. Get advice from a variety of people. Seeking advice can help you feel less alone with your thoughts or concerns. People on the outside might have a better vantage point about what's going on.
