Bend your elbows so the bottle goes behind your head and then straighten
them back out. Do the 3 sets of 10, 12, 15. For your
biceps: Hold the bottle or weight in your hand, relaxing them at
your side and palms facing forward. Bend your elbows forward so
that your hand is then by your shoulder. You can also work your
shoulders by doing lateral raises, just stand with your arms at your
side, holding some weight, and then lift your arms straight up, until
they are parallel with the ground, then back down. For a weight,
you can either go buy some dumbbells, not too heavy though, they are
fairly inexpensive, or you can use jugs filled with water or sand.
Just a few exercises will help you with your legs. One good one
is lunges, either walking or stationary. When you are lunging, be
careful about your form. Form is very important in all exercises to
prevent injury and get the results you want. Be sure to not go so far
that your toe is behind you knee. Always be able to see your toe on
your front leg and don't go down so far that your leg is bent to more
than 90 degrees. Keep your eyes and shoulders up. If you are doing
walking lunges go about 25 feet, and repeat that 3-4 times. Or
stationary, do 3 sets of about 8-10. Holding dumbbells in your hands
will increase your workout and you will see better toning results. If
you have a leg press machine at a gym or your home, that is good too.
Doing the same 3 sets of 8-10 reps. Calf raises are also simple you
can do at home. Just stand in the edge of the stairs or ledge on the
balls of your feet, and push up to stand on your tip-toes. Do about
2-3 sets of 15-20 of these or until you feel a pretty good burn .
The reps and weight vary depending on your fitness levels before and
after the baby.
First, no tanning beds. There is no such thing as a safe tanning
bed. The UV light from tanning beds is horrible. The redness is
cooked skin, which leads to problems and damaged DNA. Second, quit
smoking. Third, do not tease dogs. With warm weather there is an
increase in bites, which can lead to infection, scaring, stitches,
medical bills. Number four, check out outside toys. If they are
broken or ripped, throw them away. Clean any other toys. Make it a
game and have the kids hose them down. Place any jungle gyms on grass
- NO CEMENT!

talcum powder, baking soda, or salt. ants will not go near it or
cross it. Dryer sheets repel bees and mosquitoes. Just simply rub
dryer sheets on your clothes and skin. Roaches are nasty and multiple
very fast, if you have one you have 20,000. They can live 14 days
without food, and 20 days with no water. To get rid of roaches, get
an old jar, fill with apples they are attracted to them , cover the
rim with petroleum jelly, then they can't get out.
Clean pool and kiddies pools. Algae and bacteria are everywhere.
Baking soda is non-toxic and can be used to clean pools. It
neutralizes pH and cleans the edges, which is where the kids are also
leaning and even have their mouths on it. Use a net to clean out
leaves and bugs. Cover the pool at night. This will keep a lot of
the bugs out of there that come out at night. To conserve water, use
the water in the pool to water the lawn when you pour it out. Change
the place of the pool every so often to prevent the grass from dying.
The sandbox, kids love it, but it is very messy. Always cover it when
not in use. Always turn the sand. The sand below can get wet. Watch
the sand for rocks, glass, animal feces. If there are feces in the
sand, When buying sand, be sure to get playground sand, not building
sand. Talcum powder will keep sand from sticking, so rub some on the
kids before getting in the sandbox, and also have them jump around
outside to get the sand off.
You can care for chapped lips and swollen lips.
Dry and chapped lips are painful and irritating. Keep your lips smooth
and having a nice smile are important. Here are some tips how to
prevent chapped swollen lips. Protecting your lips is important for
your appearance and your health.
The first thing you need to do is look at the rooms or your work
place environment. If you work in dry heated air this will cause you
to lick your lips more frequently. This will cause the moisture in
them to evaporate more readily. Licking your lips has the same drying
effect as washing your hands constantly it takes the moisture out of
your skin. You need to try and not lick your lips and get some
moisture in the room. You can get cold sores and bacterial infection
from lips that are already damaged and dried out.
You need to get a lip balm that are sold over the counter. Lip
balms work by sealing in the moisture and provide a protective
barrier. You can also try petroleum jelly and put a small amount on
your lips. If you work outside the sun's ultraviolet rays can damage
the skin on your lips. You need to protect them with any type of
ointment that can be put on the lips. Windy conditions can also dry
out your lips and cause them to crack. Try not to wipe the lip balm
off when working outside in sunny windy conditions.
If you are a female you can buy lipstick that includes a
sunscreen. Apply plenty of lipstick to your bottom lip as it is more
susceptible to getting chapped. Lipstick acts as a moisturizer too so
it does double duty to prevent chapped lips. Another thing for you to
look at is your toothpaste and mouth wash. You could be causing the
red rough lips by using a toothpaste that doe not agree with the skin
on your lips. Try changing them and see if the redness clears up. Make
sure to rinse your mouth when you finish brushing your teeth and put
on some lip balm. Make sure to watch your diet. Pepper, mustard, orange
juice can dry out your lips even barbecue sauce can cause chapped
lips.
