Bodybuilding requires you to do lots of intense weight lifting with dumbbells and barbells, which almost all gyms and fitness centers will have. Look online to find a gym that's close to you and that fits your needs. Be sure to add the monthly membership fee to your budget. If you really love bodybuilding, you may eventually want to create a home gym. This will require space, time, and money, so start with a gym membership. Dedicate yourself to your goal! Set aside an hour or two on training days for workouts. Plan to train five to six days every week. To build this time into your schedule, wake up one hour earlier than you have in the past. Be sure you don't sacrifice a healthy sleep schedule of at least eight hours per night, however. You can also break up the workout into two to three sessions that you fit in over the course of your day. Once you've got exercises that hit every muscle group in the body under your belt, mix them up for maximum effect. Instead of running through all the exercises you know in every workout, create plans that use exercises strategically. For example, you can: Pair two opposing muscle groups together by doing what's called "supersetting." Work out the biceps during one set, then the triceps during your "rest" before the next set of bicep exercises. Hit muscles groups once every 2-3 days. Break up your upper-body training days with either rest days or workouts for your lower body. Start with very small weights, and go up a few pounds (or kilos) until you've found the weight that lets you complete (but work hard for!) 8-12 repetitions, or "reps." Don't worry about how big or small the number is when you're starting out. These reps should be tough, especially by the end, but you shouldn't be straining or hurting yourself. Any weight that causes you to lose your form (such as slumping your shoulders) is also too heavy. Make sure you're doing enough reps of each exercise to make it effective. Generally, a good workout includes 3-4 sets of at least 8-12 reps in each set for every exercise. If you just lift a weight one time, you won't get very much out of your gym membership! Rest for about 45 seconds to 2 minutes between sets. If you're working with really heavy weights, you can bring the reps down to five per set. You can also increase your set to fifteen reps per set if you're using lower weights. You can also increase your number of sets to four or even five. Build up to your target weight with a few lighter sets. This will warm up your muscles. You don't want to jump right into the thick of your workout, as this could lead to strain or injury. For example, do one set of 10-15 reps with a very low weight. Next, do a set of 8 reps that's about 50-60% of the weight you're training at. Next, do 5 reps at 70-75%, then 3 reps at 80-85%. End with 1 rep at 90-95%. You may also want to do a brief cardio warm up, such as a 10-minute brisk walk or jog on the treadmill. Be sure you keep proper posture any time you're weightlifting. Your shoulders should be back and together, and your back should be straight. Don't continue lifting if you feel your shoulders start to slump over the weight, or if your back is twisting. It's also important to breathe when you lift weights. Breathe out when you lift the weight, and breathe in when you put it back down.

summary: Join a gym to get access to equipment. Make a daily schedule for your workouts. Vary your exercises to target different muscle groups. Figure out your starting weights for each exercise. Do 8-12 reps of each exercise to build muscle. Do warm-up sets to avoid injury. Use a mirror or a spotter to check your form.

Shorthand is easier to write if you have a writing utensil that glides smoothly across the page. Avoid pens that leak a lot of ink or a pencil with a dull point. Improve your shorthand by taking a class taught by a veteran shorthand writer. Look for a shorthand writing class at your local community college, writing center, or online. The course can teach you how to speed up your shorthand and make it more legible on the page. If you do better with one on one instruction, look for a shorthand tutor at your local writing center or online. Schedule regular tutoring sessions so your shorthand can improve. Try practicing shorthand at least once a day. Get in the habit of using shorthand in class or during an interview so you can get better at it. Write each letter of the shorthand on flashcards and use the cards to help you practice. Have a copy of the shorthand alphabet handy so you can refer to it as needed.

summary: Use an ink pen or a sharp pencil. Take a course in shorthand writing. Practice your shorthand regularly.

To stay healthy, your sheltie will need a high-quality dog food meant for medium sized dogs. One easy way to check the quality of a dog food is to read the ingredients on the label. If the label lists meat as the first and second ingredient (not a meat by-product or grain), then it is probably a high-quality food. You can also ask your dog's breeder or veterinarian for recommendations if you are not sure what type of food to feed your sheltie. Dog food packages provide a range for how much to feed your dog, but this is often a wide range. You will need to know how much your dog weighs and consider his activity level as well. For example, if your dog food package recommends feeding your sheltie two to four cups of food per day and your dog is very active, then you may need to give him the full four cups each day. But if your dog is sedentary, then you may only need to feed him two cups of food per day. It will be easier to house train you sheltie if you have a solid feeding schedule for her. You can develop a feeding schedule for your sheltie based on how much food she needs to eat each day. For example, if your sheltie requires two cups of food every day, then you may want to split this amount into two meals. You could give one meal at 7:00am and give the other meal at 6:00pm. Adult dogs can eat just one or two big meals per day. If your sheltie is still a puppy, then she will need to be fed more often. If your sheltie puppy is: eight to 12 weeks, then do four meals per day three to six months, then do three meals per day six months to one year old, then do two meals per day Your sheltie needs to have access to a large bowl of fresh clean water at all times. Make sure that you clean and replenish your sheltie's water bowl at least once per day. If your sheltie has been running around a lot or if the weather is warm, then you may need to refill your sheltie's water more often. Dog obesity is a major cause of health problems, so it is important to make sure that your dog does not overeat. However, your sheltie will still appreciate a treat now and then, so try these nutritious, low-calorie foods: baby carrots cooked green beans cooked sweet potatoes cooked peas blueberries banana slices Some foods can make your dog sick or even kill her. Foods to avoid feeding your sheltie include: avocados alcohol caffeine chocolate grapes raisins nuts onions, garlic, and chives raw meat, bones, or eggs salty foods yeast dough xylitol (often found in sugar free foods)
summary: Choose a high-quality food for medium sized dogs. Determine how much food to give your sheltie every day. Develop a regular feeding schedule. Consider your sheltie's age. Provide plenty of fresh clean water. Give your sheltie some healthy treats. Steer clear of foods that are toxic to your sheltie.
