There are many different exercises that can help build the biceps and triceps for bigger arms. Free weights are preferred over machine weights because each arm is forced to do the work itself. With machines, the stronger arm can have a tendency to compensate for the weaker one. Bicep exercises include the preacher curl with bar, bicep curls with dumbbells, and hammer curls with dumbbells. Tricep exercises include the seated tricep press, overhead tricep extension lying on a flat bench, and tricep kickbacks. These exercises are all done with dumbbells. Choose at least 3 exercises each for the biceps and triceps and do 3-6 sets of each exercise with 6-10 reps each set. Your weights should be very heavy, making more than 10 reps impossible. As the load becomes easier to lift, increase the amount of weight to continue building muscle. You can build up the pectoral muscles both with weights and without. Push-ups are an excellent body weight exercise for building the chest without weights. The standard bench press with a barbell and weights is a classic chest building exercise. Aim for 3-6 sets of 6-10 reps. Lift as much weight as you can for at least 6 clean reps. If you can complete more than 10 reps, increase your load. Chest flies with dumbbells on a flat bench is a great exercise for working the chest muscles. Do 3-6 sets of 6-10 reps each, lifting your maximum load. The incline dumbbell press works the upper chest area. Do 3-6 sets of 6-10 reps for this exercise. If you can lift more reps, remember to increase your load. When building up your chest muscles, you don't want to neglect the back. Having a strong back will keep your body balanced. Three exercises for building a stronger back are lat pull downs, rack pulls, and the seated one-arm cable row. Do 3-6 sets of 6-10 reps for each exercise. Remember that each exercise should be done with a heavy weight load. As lifting becomes easier, increase the weight. You should never be able to complete more than 10 reps in a set. There are plenty of exercises that target the glutes and the different muscle groups of the legs. To gain size, the general rule is 6-10 reps per set, 3-6 sets, and weight that is so heavy you cannot do more than 10 reps in a set. Squats, the leg press, and even walking lunges are classic exercises for building up the butt muscles. Some excellent exercises for building bigger quadricep muscles include leg extensions, dumbbell step-ups, and lunges. Build bigger and stronger hamstrings with standing or seated leg curls, lunges, and Romanian deadlifts. Perform calf raises with dumbbells or on a machine to pump up the calves. A strong core will help keep you stable while lifting heavy weights for the other muscle groups of the body. You can easily strengthen your abdominal muscles and entire core area with body weight exercises. Try planks, side planks, crunches, leg lifts, supermans, cobra pose, and alternating V-ups to work the abs and core.V-ups, which work your obliques, are done by reaching your hand down and outside your opposite foot.

Summary: Lift free weights to build bigger arm muscles. Bulk up the chest with targeted moves one day per week. Strengthen the back muscles once a week. Build thicker legs and glutes with a mix of machine and free weights. Strengthen your abs and core without weights.

When you're busy and need a quick, cute outfit, a plain t-shirt is as simple as it gets! Choose a brightly-colored printed scarf and tennis shoes or flats to round out your look. Throw on a long duster or sweater to tie the outfit together and for added warmth in the cooler months. Tuck in your shirt to accentuate your waist, or leave it untucked for a carefree and flowy outfit. Cropped shirts with skinny jeans will show off the top part of the jeans. However, they can feel somewhat revealing. Try to choose a shorter shirt that accentuates your waistline and hits no lower than the widest part of your hips. If wearing a shorter or figure-hugging top makes you feel uncomfortable, look for styles that are more relaxed, like a high-low shirt that is only short in the front. Peplum tops tend to be flattering because they accentuate the waist, and they come in a variety of lengths and styles. For shorter plus size women, cropped skinny jeans that hit just above the ankle can be a more flattering and better fitting option, especially in spring and summer. Wear heels or wedges to elongate your legs to appear taller and complement your outfit. The ankle area also tends to be the slimmest part of the body, so you can draw attention to this area by showing some skin and choosing a funky shoe. If you have trouble walking in heels, try a short, chunky heel that will provide support and still add some height. When wearing skinny jeans, your calves and thighs will be more defined. Wear strappy sandals, brightly colored pumps, or printed tennis shoes to balance the bottom of your outfit with the rest of your body. A great way to create balance is by matching the color of your shirt to your shoes, which can create a simple, professional look. Many women of all sizes wear shapewear under their clothes to improve the fit and give themselves a more flattering shape in their clothing. With skinny jeans, opt for a pair of undergarments that stretches up the stomach area, over the navel, and reaches down to the mid-thigh. Shapewear should be snug but not constricting. Trying on the jeans with shapewear before you buy will help you see areas where you might experience bunching or rolling of your undergarments. Avoid embarrassing hemlines showing through the fabric of your jeans by selecting shapewear with "invisible" hems.

Summary: Pair a plain t-shirt and a light scarf with skinny jeans for a relaxed look. Choose a shirt length that feels comfortable. Wear cropped skinny jeans with heels to elongate the leg. Add interest and balance to your outfit with fun shoes. Wear slimming undergarments for a better fit.

Each Waterpik unit comes with an instruction manual. If you lose it, you can download another copy on the Waterpik website. The Waterpik is an elaborate device with several parts that can break and require replacement. The Waterpik website includes a section where tips, accessories and replacement parts are available for sale separate from the main units. You should replace the tips every three to six months. A common issue is that the device sometimes loses water pressure. You can attempt to fix this issue before having to replace the device. Ensure the black valve in the reservoir tank is inserted with the dome side facing up and the four-pronged side facing down. Fill the reservoir at least half full to support pressure. Confirm that the unit is plugged into a fully functioning electrical outlet. Regularly clean the unit by adding a few teaspoons of vinegar or chlorhexidine mouthwash to a full reservoir of warm water. Then drain the reservoir through the handle into the sink until it is empty. A reservoir leak is another common issue. You can attempt to fix this issue before having to replace the device. Remove the black rubber valve from the water tank by pushing it out from the bottom. Run the valve under warm water and massage with your fingers. Return the valve to the tank. Ensure the dome side is facing up and the four-prong side is showing on the bottom.
Summary: Use the instruction manual. Buy replacement parts. Fix a drop in water pressure. Fix a leaking reservoir.
