Summarize the following:
If you want to be able to body board, then you should already be a good swimmer. You'll need to use a lot of the techniques you use for swimming to propel your board, and furthermore, you'll need to be a good swimmer to swim without your board if you wipe out. Additionally, you should only try bodyboarding if you know that the sea conditions are safe and that there's a lifeguard on duty. You should try bodyboarding with a friend or an instructor instead of by yourself. Once you get more comfortable with it, you can go at it alone. You'll need to attach the leash to your upper arm. This will prevent you from losing the board when you wipe out. Attach the strap to your upper arm tightly, but loosely enough so that your arm is still comfortable. The leash will keep your arm and the board secured together. If you're swimming in colder water, you'll need a wet suit to keep your body warm. A rash guard will also do, keeping your body from getting irritated while you're bodyboarding, and protecting you from the sun. They are made of Lycra and can also be worn under your wetsuit to keep chafing or rubbing to a minimum. Get some fins with tethers and attach the tethers firmly to your ankles. You'll need fins to help you kick with higher speed, making it easier for you to catch a wave. You should also consider getting a pair of fin socks to wear under your fins, to add an extra layer of warmth and comfort for your feet. Before you try to catch a wave, you should have a strong sense of how you should be positioned on the board. Get in the sand and lie on the board with your hands at the top (nose) of the board, and the back (tail) of the board under your lower belly. Keep your weight centered on the board. Once you're in this position, you can practice paddling. Paddle your hands at the side of the board, like you're scooping water towards you, or as if you're doing the free stroke in swimming. Kick your feet under the water for the best propulsion and faster movement while bodyboarding. Walk into the water with your board until it's about knee deep. Lift your feet high with every step to avoid getting stuck. You should start looking for white water waves that go straight into the beach.

summary: Put safety first. Get a leash. Get a wetsuit or a rash guard. Get fins and fin socks. Practice the correct position. Walk into the water.

Before you jump straight into your flower arrangement, it's important to have all of the necessary materials easily at hand -- this will make the process more efficient. Depending on the type of flower arrangement you are making, you will need a selection of some or all of the following: A clean vessel to contain the flowers -- this could be a vase, a bowl or a basket (amongst other things) depending on the number and size of flowers the flowers. Some floral foam or a flower frog, to secure flowers in wide-mouthed containers. Some floral tape or elastic bands to hold flowers together, especially in tall, narrow vases. A sharp knife or garden clippers to cut the flower stems. Some preservative solution (often supplied with the fresh flowers). A clean, spacious work surface, lined with newspaper. Selection of flowers and greenery.

summary: Gather the necessary materials.

Tight, structured clothing and shoes may make you uncomfortable when you travel. They may also increase your risk of developing blood clots. Instead, wear something loose that fits you comfortably. Opt for stretchy pants with an elastic waistline and a loose fitting top, or wear a loose-fitting jersey or cotton dress. Pair your outfit with a pair of comfortable walking shoes, such as sneakers or supportive sandals. You may also want to dress in layers to help keep yourself at a comfortable temperature. For example, you could wear a short-sleeved top with a cardigan or pullover. That way if you feel a chill, you can simply throw on your cardigan. Buckle your seatbelt when you are going to be riding in a car, on a bus, or on an airplane. Make sure that the seatbelt is low around your hips and positioned under your belly. The top strap of a car seatbelt should go across your chest and be positioned above your belly. On an airplane, keep your seatbelt buckled even when the "fasten seatbelt" sign is off. Unexpected turbulence may jostle you around and could even cause injury if you're out of your seat during severe turbulence. If you will be driving, position yourself as far away from the steering wheel as you can while still being able to fully operate your vehicle. Take some extra time to get adjusted and make sure that your position is both comfortable and safe. If you put your seat all the way back and it is hard for you to reach the steering wheel, you need to be closer to it. Don't put yourself in unsafe positions just to create more distance between you and the wheel. Gas-producing foods can increase your discomfort while traveling, so it is best to avoid them while you're in transit. To be extra careful, limit your consumptions of these foods up to 24 hours before you leave too. That helps keep any side-effects caused by last night's dinner from derailing your morning flight plans. Steer clear of carbonated beverages, beans, prunes, and any other food or drink that you know will make you gassy. For example, if eating raw vegetables gives you gas, then avoid eating raw vegetables until you reach your destination.
summary: Wear loose, comfortable clothing and shoes. Wear your seatbelt at all times while you're in transit. Move your seat as far away from the steering wheel as you can when you drive. Avoid foods that make you gassy before and during travel.
