In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Your workout should consist of interval training following this pattern: Warm up for 2 minutes at moderate intensity. Slightly increase intensity for minutes 2 to 3. Work you way to a high intensity level (you should be able to carry on a broken conversation) during minute 4. Keep the intensity high through minute 5 and bring it back to a moderate level during minute 6. Repeat the pattern during minutes 7 to 11 and during minutes 12 to 16. Accelerate during minute 17 to your highest level. Maintain that level of intensity for 1 full minute. Use the last 2 minutes to bring yourself back to a moderate level and to cool down. Exercise is not recommended during Induction because of all of the physiological changes that are occurring in your body. However, when you reach OWL, you may add moderate cardio to your exercise routine. You should perform cardio and weight training 6 days per week on alternating days and rest on the 7th day. Your weight training should alternate between 1 day of upper-body work and 1 day of lower-body work. Choose 2 exercises from each upper body category (chest, back, shoulders, biceps, triceps) or 2 exercises from each lower body category (quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, abs). Perform 12 reps of the 1st exercise with a light weight. Rest 1 minute. Add more weight and perform 10 repetitions. Rest 1 minute. Add even more weight and perform 8 repetitions. Rest 1 minute. Add the maximum amount of weight that you can tolerate and perform 6 reps. Rest 1 minute. Go back to the original light weight and perform 12 reps. You will not rest after this set. Immediately perform the second exercise for 12 reps with the light weight. Rest for 2 minutes before going on to the next muscle group. Some versions of Atkins, like Atkins Advantage, do recommend some strength training. Other versions of Atkins, like The New Atkins for a New You, offer no recommendations for strength training.
Summary: Perform 20 minutes of cardiovascular exercise every other day on Body for Life. Consider cardiovascular exercise on the Atkins diet. Perform weight training on the days that you are not performing cardiovascular exercise on the Body for Life diet. Choose whether or not to perform strength training exercises on the Atkins diet.

The reflection paragraph is your opportunity to make connections between this article and the community at large. Think about why this story is important. Think about the connection to your community, or your state, or the country. You might also think about the connection to your class. What themes are you discussing in class that relate to this article? Even though the reflection is short (usually just a paragraph), you should still aim to make an argument, at least to some degree. Determine the main point that you want to make and think about how you will support that main point. The first sentence of your reflection should be an introduction to what you'll be discussing in your reflection. Some teachers don't allow the use of "I" (first person) in these reflections. Check with your teacher to determine if you can write in first person or not. Expand on your main point by giving specific examples from your news article.Build your paragraph in a logical way. Don't just string together random thoughts about why the news story is important. Finish off your reflection with a sentence that summarizes what you've discussed in your reflection. Or, you might make a final key point about the ultimate impact of the news story.

Problem: Article: Some career service advisors recommend keeping your self-introductory speech as short as two or three sentences. Others suggest aiming for five to seven minutes in length. If it is not possible to make your speech this short, or if time permits you to give a longer introduction, you should still trim down your speech to be as concise, yet informative, as possible. Make sure that if this is an assignment, you stay within the assigned guidelines. If your speech is supposed to be 3-5 minutes, a 7-minute speech and a 2-minute speech are equally inappropriate. If you are giving a brief introductory speech in an interview, be certain that you don't go over the recommended time. Remember that your speech is going to be spoken out loud, and your audience will not be able to go back and re-read your words if something is confusing. Deliver your speech in such a way that no one will be uncertain of what you are trying to say. Avoid long rambling sentences, and use direct and concise prose as much as possible. Think about your sentence structure carefully. Reading your speech out loud will help you determine when you have overly long sentences that need to be restructured. You should run through your speech out loud well before the actual introduction. Practice different inflections and experiment with how you pace yourself during the speech. You can practice alone by reading at first, but to get some feedback it's a good idea to perform the speech in front of a friend, family member or colleague. Practicing in front of other people will enable you to gauge whether your speech captures the interest of your listeners. Think about which parts of the speech were successful and which parts weren't. Try to get as much detailed feedback as possible by asking specific as well as general questions after your speech. As well as saying "how did you like the speech?", ask specifically what parts were the strongest and weakest. Check that you delivered a clear message by asking your practice audience what they took away from the speech. Know what you're going to say, and how you're going to say it, well in advance. Although in some instances it is common practice to read from a piece of paper, try to memorize your speech and read it with minimal prompts. Presenting without reading a paper can create a stronger impression of control, knowledge and confidence. It will also help keep your audience's attention. If you are staring down at a piece of paper all the time, the audience might struggle to truly engage with what you are saying. You can, however, bring an index card with bullet points, just in case you freeze up. You shouldn't write your whole speech on the card, just the main points you hope to cover. Think of the card as a point of reference, rather than a backup for your speech.
Summary:
Trim your speech down. Use short, simple sentences. Practice your speech. Memorize your speech.
