Q: If you are using a longboard, wax the entire topside of the board from nose to tail and edge to edge. If you are using a shortboard, wax the topside of the board from the front logo to the back edge (about two thirds of the length) and from edge to edge. You can get by just fine without a basecoat wax, but your wax won't last as long. If your board doesn't have the right basecoat, the topcoat won't stick to the board, leaving you with a naked spot on your board where slipping and sliding can happen. Your basecoat should stay on the board until you re-wax your board. Your topcoat clings on to the basecoat. When it comes to getting the basecoat to stick onto the board, surfers tend to use different techniques sometimes in isolation, sometimes in combination: Circle pattern: Rub the wax onto the board in small circles, moving up and down the board until bumps start forming. Straight line pattern: Rub the wax onto the board in straight lines up and down the board, parallel to the rocker. Crosshatch pattern: Rub the wax onto the board on a diagonal, and then perpendicular to that diagonal, completing a crosshatch pattern. Kitchen sink: Rub the wax onto the board in any direction, using any of the patterns listed above or making your own. Use the edge of the wax stick, not the flat side. Apply until there is a bumpy coat. Your topcoat will adhere to these little bumps. Depending on the size of your board, you may need to use an entire stick of wax, or up to two sticks, in order to get the basecoat right.
A: Apply your basecoat. Use any one of several techniques to apply the basecoat. Apply the basecoat until bumps start to form.

Q: Physical activity is important not only for losing weight, but also for keeping your bones, muscles, heart, and lungs strong. Try to do 60 minutes of moderate physical activity each day, such as jogging, walking, dancing, swimming, playing tennis, or biking. If you're not used to exercising, start with shorter times and less intense exercise. For example, you might start by walking for 10 minutes each day, then gradually build up to a daily 20-minute fast walk or jog. Depending on your current weight or your fitness goals, you may need to spend more time exercising or do more intense exercise. Talk to your doctor or a PE instructor to find out how much you need to exercise. In addition to aerobic activities that get your heart pumping, like running and biking, you should also do exercises that help you build muscle. At least 3 days a week, add some strengthening exercises to your regular 60 minutes of physical activity. Some good strength-building exercises include doing planks or squats, climbing, and using resistance bands. You can also ask a fitness instructor for advice on how to safely lift weights. Building muscle helps you burn fat more efficiently, and also makes you less prone to injury. In addition to working out, you can also look for little ways to get more physical activity during your daily routines. For example, take the stairs instead of an elevator or escalator whenever you can. Every little bit can make a difference! Doing work around your house and yard can also help you burn calories. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone by cleaning up your room or volunteering to mow the lawn. If you're in school, try walking or biking there if possible. Even standing instead of sitting while you work at a desk can help you burn extra calories! When you have a world of entertainment and information literally at your fingertips, it's easy to forget to get up and move. Make a decision to limit your time on the phone, at your computer or tablet, or in front of the TV. Try setting specific limits for yourself. For example, you might commit to spending no more than 1 hour watching TV per day. If you find yourself too tempted to play on your phone, try installing an app like BreakFree or Moment that will remind you to take breaks or lock you out during designated phone-free times. If you have to sit a lot while you study or work, try to take occasional breaks to get up and walk around or stretch.
A:
Get at least 60 minutes of moderate exercise daily. Incorporate strength training into your exercise regimen. Find ways to be more physically active throughout the day. Minimize screen time and other sedentary activities.
