INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You will be more likely to establish and adhere to a daily routine if you genuinely enjoy the activity you are performing. For example, if you enjoy playing a specific sport, join a neighborhood team. If being lonely bums you out, find group motivation in a bootcamp class. You might have to experiment to find things you like, but that's part of the journey. Whatever makes you energized is ideal. Plenty of people are embarrassed by their workout music, but if a particular boy band pushes you to run a couple more miles, who cares? As long as it energizes you, play it! If you feel self-conscious about your music, put on some headphones so that only you can hear it. If you're stuck on finding the perfect jams, services like Spotify and IHeartRadio often curate workout playlists, so start with those. As you continue to exercise, your routine may begin to feel more like a rut. Don't let that happen--if you start getting sick of exercise, experiment with something new. Trying different things will challenge your body to move in new ways, which will both make you stronger and keep you from being bored. Build off of something you've done before. If you've liked Zumba, maybe it's time to try a salsa dancing class. Alternately, try something totally different. If you love lifting weights, yoga just might increase your core strength and your mental clarity. A certified fitness trainer can help you push yourself, both on days when you see them and on days when you work out solo. Inquire at your gym to find trainers, or ask people you trust if they have recommendations. Pick a trainer you feel comfortable with. You won't be able to improve if you feel scared, intimidated, or talked down to. You don't need to go every week--a good trainer will help you craft a routine that continues to grow with you. Nutrition isn't an exact science and different bodies need different things, but if you want to keep working out and seeing good results, you need to power yourself with the right food. Cutting down on both alcohol and caffeine can be helpful, but the food that will suit you best depends on how you like to work out. Eat carbs if you're going to be doing lots of cardio. Whole grains, berries and fruits contain slow-burning sugars that will keep you going. Protein reinforces strength and weight training. Grilled chicken and spinach is a classic post-workout meal, while chocolate milk provides the right proportion of protein to carbs in a convenient post-workout drink. If you exercise on a daily basis even on days when you are especially tired or sore, you may become resentful of your fitness routine and lose the motivation to work out. Allow your body to rest and recover one day per week. If you feel guilty about missing a workout, or want to maintain a routine even when you are tired, take a walk or go for a hike. There is nothing wrong with taking a day off from working out. In fact, many trainers recommend this, as it allows your body to recoup and recover.

SUMMARY: Enjoy your workout. Play fun music. Mix it up. Consult an expert. Eat right. Listen to your body.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you are taking a proctored IQ test, find out all of the details well in advance by contacting the testing center or the test program officers. Ask if there is any paperwork that you'll need to bring with you. Find out what items you are allowed to bring in to the testing room. Many IQ tests are simply done online now, eliminating at least some of these worries. However, IQ groups such as Mensa will only accept scores created under a specific testing process. Some IQ tests give you one hour to finish the questions while others operate without a time limit. Find out in advance how long you'll have for the test then divide this by the number of questions asked. This will give you a rough idea of how much time you can spend on each question. All IQ tests are a bit different but they usually cover the same basics. Look for questions about spatial reasoning, verbal knowledge, and quantitative understanding. Memory and retention questions are spread throughout. "Emotional intelligence" and creativity are generally not measured, creating a disadvantage for certain out-of-the-box thinkers. It is a good idea to practice your basic math and vocabulary skills headed into any IQ test as these types of questions are ever-present. Before taking the test, try to set a score goal for yourself. The raw score for most tests is the result of the number of correct answers. Some tests also factor in your age as well. Your raw score is then converted into your IQ by comparing it to the scores of other test-takers. You will also see a percentile ranking showing how your IQ stacks up against others. As you proceed through the test, increase your odds of choosing the correct answer by instantly identifying and disregarding those options that are incorrect. Each time you do this you make your final choice a bit easier and more precise. For example, on a question with answers A through D, try to scratch out the least likely option before making your final choice. This is especially helpful when dealing with visual or listing questions. Recognize that you are being tested on your ability to perceive order amongst the chaos. If you see a question that at first appears totally disorganized it is your job to look for a potential organization that works. Think about it that way and the questions are not so intimidating. Spatial aptitude segments of an IQ test will often show a series of geometric or odd shapes sometimes with additional symbols placed therein. When you see a question like this remember that your point of view is not fixed. You can rotate the image in your mind or simply turn the paper until a pattern or solution emerges. It goes without saying but while you are taking the test remove all outside distractions. Turn off and put away your cell phone. Arrange it so that you are not disturbed. Paying attention to a task beyond the test, even briefly, could lower your IQ score by 10 points or more.

SUMMARY: Get information about the test proctoring. Find out about any time constraints. Know what the test covers. Learn how the test is scored. Eliminate wrong choices. Search for patterns. Visualize rotating the images. Focus completely on the test.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your cookie dough needs to be log shaped so it's thin enough to fit into the barrel of the cookie press. To roll the dough into a log, pick it up and roll it between your hands. Make sure the log is short enough and thin enough to fit in the cookie press barrel. To save time, buy premade cookie dough that comes in a log shape. Avoid using cookie dough that has big pieces like chocolate chips or nuts in it. Use thin doughs like sugar cookie dough and spritz dough instead. Make sure the ring is twisted all the way on so it's tight. If the ring is on properly, the patterned disk will be on the inside of the barrel. Once the ring is on the barrel, you're ready to start pressing out your cookie dough!

SUMMARY:
Roll your cookie dough into a log. Screw the ring back onto the barrel.
