No matter what sport you choose, you need to have a regular exercise routine. This could be going to your gym or just working out from home. Create a balanced workout routine and make sure you stick to working out a few days a week. Don't rush into anything extreme especially if you haven't been working out lately or regularly. This would make you much more likely to strain yourself and get injured. Take it slow at first and slowly start to increase intensity when you can handle it. Train to build stamina. If you don't have good stamina, it will be hard to have the endurance to play a full game in any sport. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/0\/03\/Learn-Basketball-Shooting-Mechanics-Step-1.jpg\/v4-459px-Learn-Basketball-Shooting-Mechanics-Step-1.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/0\/03\/Learn-Basketball-Shooting-Mechanics-Step-1.jpg\/aid2055-v4-728px-Learn-Basketball-Shooting-Mechanics-Step-1.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":306,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"485","licensing":"<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>License: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/">Creative Commons<\/a><br>

Spring and summer are the growing seasons for Leyland cypress plants. You can trim the plant throughout this period, but you are better off saving heavy pruning for the beginning of spring. Cutting the plant after August leaves it exposed to harsh winter weather, which can kill your cypress. Brown needles are a sign of winter damage. If new growth doesn't replace the needles, you will need to prune the branch below the brown coloring. Cypress plants need regular buzzes to keep them within their yard boundaries. Using clippers, cut the ends of all the long branches. Make them even so your cypress looks neat and pleasant. Plan on doing this several times throughout the spring and summer. For example, you might trim the cypress in April, July, and then August. Leyland cypress has a tremendous growth rate. If you do not trim it regularly, it can get large and hard to control. The ideal shape for a Leyland cypress is an A. That may seem odd, but the wider base prevents the plant's bottom from rotting. You can shape the cypress while you trim it annually with clippers and while you prune long branches with shears. If you grow the cypress as a hedge, you can trim its top flat. A Leyland cypress will grow this way naturally. You only have to perform regular trimming to prevent the plant from overgrowing if you have a limited amount of yard space. Always look for weak branches. They may appear dark brown, black, or splintered. These branches may simply be damaged, or they may be a sign of disease. Using a sharp pair of loppers or shears, cut the branch below the damaged portion. You can prune damaged branches throughout the entire year, so take care of them as soon as you notice them to prevent problems from spreading.
