INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You should work out no more than five days a week when it comes to lifting weights. This is because overtraining and injury can occur, resulting in you not seeing results. During the first couple of weeks, focus on building strength safely. This means lifting slightly heavier weights at lower reps, and resting for about two minutes so your muscles don't fatigue. After you've begun to build mass, do more intensive workouts with higher reps and lower weights to tone your muscles while still building. Rest times on lower weights should be around one minute. Don't overtrain because you're not getting bigger quickly enough. Trying to speed up the process will make you feel too sore to want to work out. A diligent workout plan can show results of about half a pound of muscle gain a week in men, and about half a pound every two weeks in women. Cardio can be done every day, if you wish, and is very important when it comes to shedding any unwanted fat. Do cardio after you workout, not before, to ensure that your body can perform at a peak level, as cardio will tire you out. Remember that you want to be working out larger muscle groups, spending different days focusing on different parts of your body. In addition, remember to populate your schedule with different, more advanced routines as you progress. If you want to see fast progress each week, you have to advance your routine each week. Start by adding five pounds to the weights you lift each week. Add an extra set to your routines at the end of the week to prepare for upping the weight the next week. If you workout your chest, triceps and shoulders on Monday and/or Thursday, focus on your back and your biceps on Tuesday and/or Friday. On Wednesday, work out your legs and add some cardio to your routine. Find a good workout that fits your body and goals. If you want to build size and strength, vary your rep ranges depending on the workout. Start with low rep sets (5-8) with heavy weights on one day, and then lower the weight while increasing the reps (12-15) on the next day you work that muscle group. Varying your weight and reps will keep your muscles guessing, forcing them to adapt to varied routines increasing strength. Remember that you can and should add weight to your workouts each week. So even on the lower weight days, you want to be increasing how much you lift. Increase the weight slowly over time for the best results. For dumbbells, increase the weight by one to two pounds each week. For plates, you can increase it by five pounds. Cardio can help you get energized for the start of the week. Run a couple of miles, swim, do some bodyweight workouts, or even yoga during the weekend to help your body stay focused. Though you might think cardio will burn your muscle and your fat from putting your body in a catabolic state, 30-45 minutes of cardio a week can actually help build muscle. Because cardio workouts increase the number of capillaries in your muscles, you can get more oxygen and other nutrients flowing through them to build mass and increase recovery time, ultimately building your body up faster. Most gyms or fitness clubs have staff members that can help you build a diet and exercise plan that's tailored to your body. A trainer can also lead you through workouts and keep you on track. Having a trainer aiding you will help you learn how to work efficiently and get the most from your time and efforts in the gym. Trainers will also monitor your progress, guide you on a well-balanced diet, stay properly hydrated, and help you get proper rest and recovery. Achieving your goals should be rewarding both mentally and physically. With hard work, a sensible and healthy diet, and proper rest, you will get the body you've always wanted.

SUMMARY: Workout correctly. Follow your workout plan to shed unwanted fat and gain muscle quickly and effectively. Maintain a good cardio plan by doing some type of cardio on the weekend. Do not be afraid to ask for help. Hire a trainer.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Oars can be stored horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, so you just need one dimension of the space to be as long as the oars. This space can be in whatever storage area you have, such as a garage or basement, but make sure that you will be able to access them when you need them. Functional oars can be stored diagonally if your space is limited, but they might be a bit less convenient to get off the wall. If you have a variety of lengths of oars to store, be sure that the area you pick is large enough for the longest oar. Before you begin to put decorative oars up on a wall, you need to make sure they will fit in a pleasing arrangement. Measure the oars and make sure that you have a space on the wall where they will fit. Since the oars can hang at an angle, you can measure a space diagonally to see if the oars will fit that way. Remember that oars can be put up vertically, so they can be a nice decorative element in a narrow wall space. Once you are sure you have enough space, you can begin playing with how you want the oars to be arranged. Hold the oars up at a variety of angles to see what arrangement will look best. One pleasing arrangement for oars is placing them crosswise in an "x." However, simply hanging them horizontally, one on top of the other, is also a good choice. Even if you want the oars to be parallel, that doesn't mean they need to match each other perfectly. Try putting up oars that are parallel but flipped in opposite directions, so the handle of one is next to the head of the other. Oars are most easily stored on racks made specifically for oar storage. These vary in design, from simple blocks of wood with pegs coming out of them to specially cut pieces that hold the exact shape of the oars. However, oars can also be stored on a variety of other racks or hook systems, such as racks made to store brooms or rifles, so look at a variety of options before choosing. When choosing your rack, consider whether you want to store vertically or horizontally. There are different racks for these 2 configurations. When picking out a rack, take into consideration how many oars you need to store. Storage racks vary widely in the number of oars they can hold.

SUMMARY:
Find a location where functional oars can be stored. Make sure you have room to put up decorative oars. Plan the arrangement. Purchase an oar storage rack for a convenient option.
