In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: In Spanish feliz and contento can be used pretty much interchangeably. But contento, like its cognate in English, content, is more closely translated to saying someone or something is pleased. For example, you might ask, Tu estas contento con tus calificaciones?, or "are you happy (pleased) with your grades?" To be happy (pleased) with something, you would say, Estoy contento(a) con mi nuevo vestido, or "I am happy with my new dress." Contentar is also a verb that means to please or satisfy. Feliz is typically used to express a state of being that is not permanent. For example, you might say, Aqui hemos sido muy felices, or "we have been very happy here." You could also tell someone that they have made you happy. For example, you might say, Me haces feliz, or "you make me happy." You could talk about someone's disposition being cheerful. For example, you could say, Creo que soy una persona bastante alegre, por lo general, or "I think that I am a pretty happy (cheerful) person, in general." Because you are saying that you are a cheerful person as a permanent state of being, you use the ser form of I am, soy. You can also say that something someone has done has made you happy. For example, you could say, Me alegro que llegaste temprano, or "I'm glad that you came early." In this case, alegrar is a reflexive verb that means to cheer up or rejoice. Directly translated it would mean, "it makes me glad that you came early." But in English we do not use reflexive verbs in the same way, so it makes more sense as "I'm glad." The word for happiness is felicidad, a feminine noun. The plural of this word is used to say congratulations: felicidades! To wish someone a Happy Birthday, say feliz cumpleanos! To wish someone a Merry Christmas, say feliz Navidad! To wish someone a Happy New Year, say feliz Ano Nuevo! Here happy means that you are willing to help. For example, if you want to show your willingness to do something, you might say to someone, Con mucho gusto se lo comprobare, or "I would be happy to check it for you." Se is used here to refer to used. Placer is also a verb that means "to be pleased." For example, you could say nos place que te quedas aqui which means "it pleases us to have you stay here." If you have had a good experience, something was to your liking, or you want to say that you enjoyed something, you can use either word. For example: Me da mucho gusto que... (It gives me much pleasure that...) Es un placer. (It is a pleasure.) Fue un placer. (It was a pleasure.) El gusto es mio. (The pleasure is mine.)
Summary: Use contento(a) to talk about being pleased. Say feliz to express contentment. Try using alegre to talk about being cheerful or glad. Congratulate or wish someone a Happy Birthday/happy holiday. Say con mucho gusto to say you are happy to help. Express that you enjoyed something with gusto or placer.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This classic boxing workout is a classic for a reason. Jump rope is great for explosive, quick-moving feet that can pivot on a dime and step and slide for days. Try to get 100 jumps or more in every single training session. As you get better, practice one-footed, double-time, and hopping over the rope. A simple workout ladder is all you need. Work on moving through it quickly, touching only the balls of your feet to the ground. To get the most out of an exercise ladder, you should stick to patterns, moving your feet through with different techniques each run-through. Try: Touching both feet in every space. Touching only one foot in every space. Touching each foot twice in every space. Side-stepping through the ladder. Moving up two spaces, back one, up two, back one, etc. A big, explosive step comes from big, explosive legs. Get a box that is roughly shin or knee height. Keep your shoulders over your knees and spine straight. Bend down from the knees and leap with both legs onto the box. Then jump off. Repeat 10-12 times, for three sets. As you get better, you can add variety to get even stronger: Make the box higher "March" up the box, stepping up and down with each foot. Work on single-leg jumps. Shadowboxing is when you mime a real fight, at speed, by yourself. It is an incredible workout, but only if you do it well. Focus on perfect technique, especially as your get tired. You will fight how you practice, so use this time to get perfect footwork before your opponent even steps in the ring. There is no reason to sit flat-footed while hitting the bag or practicing punches. No matter what skill you're training, incorporate footwork into the mix. Throw three punches against the heavy bag, then move in and out before throwing three more. Pivot every 30 seconds on the speed bag and switch arms. The more you can bring footwork into your other skill training, the better boxer you'll be. When you put on a match, ask yourself who has the better footwork? Who moves smoothly across the ring and who seems to lumber? How do great boxers move their feet to react on offense vs defense? Watching another boxer's footwork, paying attention exclusively below the knees, is a great way to see how important movement is in a fight.
Summary: Jump rope every day to build agility and foot speed. Try ladder drills to get faster feet. Use box jumps and plyometrics to build leg strength and power. Shadowbox to get used to fast footwork in the ring. Add footwork to your speed drills and bag workouts. Watch other boxer's purely for their footwork.
