Learn to plan your trip systematically:

Read his initial thoughts:

Immediate plans don’t allow for a lot of packing and planning. So, start collecting things once the initial plan hits your mind and you’ve started to figure out or knew where to go this weekend.

This will help you better understand your vacation and plan according to the climate in the host country.

Initial thoughts will help you research travel options you can take advantage of while reviewing travel guides and researching various stay options.

Great idea:

Together with your travel partner, find the brainstorming session and start making a list on your laptop or device or even a subtle list about the places you’ll love to visit.

Brainstorming sessions will help you tackle various problems as there are now multiple minds working.

Making a document will help you learn about various places, places of interest, and the medium through which you can travel.

Select and collect:

Now the time has come when you need to make a judgment about where you want to move forward. You can’t take a look at everything on your outward journey.

And never expect to spend most of your time traveling to the location. We help you organize your trip:

1. Make small groups of tours and sights you are aiming for, make a list of sites. Like how big these places are depending solely on travel. If you are planning a trip to tour the entire country, then you need to understand cities and regions. If you go to only one city, your places should be only your neighborhoods.

2. Travelers can put a star to “real highlight” for their destination. Try to know the things that will disappoint you and the others that will matter to you and bring pleasure to your boring life.

3. You can put everything together, you need to leave some views, due to distance, weather, etc. affairs. Feel free to cross them off your wish list as you need to go the extra mile to go see them.

Once you set up your destination, take care to organize your views accordingly. As specific sites remain closed on particular days of the week, such as museums are closed on Mondays and churches are closed on public holidays for visitors.

Choose your bases:

The choice of bases is critical, especially when traveling to distant places. Check the list and divide them into different groups, 2 on one side or maybe 3 on the other, the sights can be categorized based on location, religious beliefs or availability to visitors.

After shortlisting the sights, mark a design on your calendar and know what days you arrive and leave the places.

Writing down appointments and speaking to review authorities can be fruitful since you know they are not closed on these specific dates.

If it’s a big tour, try making a Google Sheet to track spending and find out the best time available to visit a specific location.

Draw your budget:

Do some hotel research through online comparison websites, read reviews, and find the medieval level hotel for yours. And search every base of yours.

Include the same in the cost of your tour and draw up a preliminary budget for yourself. Remember to put in a few extra shells for food, activities, and shopping. Keep track of your expenses and manage your trip well.

Transport Options:

1. Transportation is one of the essential steps when you plan to go on a trip.

2. Check direct flights from home to your destination?

3. Costs incurred in booking direct flights for you and members of your group?

4. What are the following times to arrive and leave?

Flight timings are critical as if they leave at noon then you need to leave the city last night or if they leave at night so you can go sightseeing early as well.

Please note that your flight may be one hour, but you may take your 5 hours or more of additional time to board or board the flight.

You will often find trains and buses are also one of the options to explore. To check the frequency of trains or buses that run on the route and the cost of tickets as well.

Group tour with a tour company:

If you are looking for a cheap trip that covers the most renowned places of your chosen tourist destination in a limited period of time, then the best option for you is to plan a trip with a tour group.

There are many popular tour companies in India that specialize in coordinating and handling all types of group tours in a systematic manner. They provide all the essential needs like accommodation, food, transportation to multiple locations so you can get the most out of your tour.

There are tour managers to help us throughout the trip. They organize different types of tour groups like senior tours, couples tours, family tours, women tours, general category tours and many more, you can opt for any of these tours accordingly and make your trip a memorable experience.

Wrap it up:

Visiting multiple cities requires taking notes for your travel destination and hotel and transportation costs. Plan your dream vacation and make it exciting by planning it smoothly and systematically after doing your research.

This Monsoon, plan a vacation, make it systematic and enjoy it to the fullest. Have a good trip!

What do you think would happen if most people spent as much time planning for retirement and investing each year as they spend watching football? I suspect we would all have a lot more money, be better prepared for retirement, and maybe even be able to afford Super Bowl tickets every year.

Steve Roberts, with nearly twenty years of experience in the financial industry, knows that most people, himself included, would rather play or watch football than the stock market. After all, Steve himself was a three-sport letterman in high school, letterman in football, basketball, and baseball. He was a member of the Ricks Junior College soccer team and is now the youth soccer coach. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t value financial planning and realize its importance. What it does mean is that he had the bright idea to write a book on financial planning using soccer metaphors to make the subject not only more interesting but easier to understand for his many readers.

Steve divides his new book, “Soccer Financial Planning,” into three sections: Defending; Insulted; and coaches, special teams, and systems. Then, in each section, he looks at a valuable asset for your retirement or investment portfolio, and compares that investment to a soccer player. For example, he compares auto insurance to a defensive tackle and universal life insurance to an outside linebacker: these are players on his defense because he needs them to protect his assets. The players in their offense include the center (his checking account), a right tackle (fixed annuity) and a tight end (bonuses). Steve realizes that you may not always need every player on your team, but he walks you through the benefits and drawbacks of each player so you can decide who you want on your team and how you can use those players to create what you want on your team. better. possible game plan for yourself.

I have read various financial planning books in the past and they are all helpful in various ways. What makes Football Financial Planning stand out is not only that the football metaphor is fun, but the way Steve breaks down the team makes each player or financial tool very easy to understand; Because each player/investment product is a chapter unto itself, the book can also be accessed to refer to and find specific items later on.

Steve makes the discussion easy to follow, and really got me thinking about the different financing options out there and why some would be great assets to have on my team while others would not. In the end, he reminds us that each of us is the owner of the team and even the quarterback of our own team, so we have to call the shots.

As an added bonus, Steve provides game charts for avid football fans so they can see how their financial offenses or defenses stack up. At the end of each chapter, he also provides a short chart or worksheet for the reader to fill out, asking questions about things like insurance deductibles, projected cash value, or income so that people can write all their information down and keep it on track. One place. location easy to find and remember, as well as assess the different possibilities that exist for your financial game plan.

In the end, Steve’s entire system comes down to determining which system or philosophy works best for you because no one piece of equipment will work for everyone. Steve underscores this point with the following story:

“To win a game (score heavily on your investments), it’s very important to have a system (philosophy) that matches your quarterback’s skills and talents. One university that has produced many great college quarterbacks is Brigham University Young (BYU), however, I once heard former BYU coach Lavell Edwards say that he believes that Marc Wilson, one of their best quarterbacks, would have had more success in the NFL if he had played in a different system. The system and philosophy that your coaches implement is tailored to your needs and abilities.There are systems that others are pushing and selling that work for most people, and may work for you, but may not be the best fit for you.Some Examples of Systems people may be pushing are to buy term life insurance for an outside linebacker and invest the rest in mutual fund brokers This person’s system may also include telling you never to buy a variable annuity. Everyone’s situation is different, so everyone else’s equipment may look a little different than yours; the important thing is to find the system and the trainers that work for you”.

Whether you love football or just want to clear up your financial situation and be prepared to score a game-winning touchdown when it’s time to retire, Football Financial Planning can give you the tools you need now to create the investment system that works. for you. Then, when the game is over, you’ll have a huge save that will last you the rest of your life.

It’s the time of year when everyone is doing their best to figure out how to take advantage of tax breaks, or as a layman would say, how to save taxes. People opt for one of several tax-saving options, such as claiming interest and principal components on their home loan, life insurance premiums, medical expenses, etc. What most people don’t realize is that one of the simplest options is to donate to charity, as it not only entitles you to a 100% tax deduction, but also helps you do your part. for a cause.

Donate and save taxes

Under the Income Tax Act, charities are eligible for income tax exemption under Section 11. Similarly, donors are entitled to tax benefits under Section 35AC, the Section 80G, Section 80GGA, etc.

35AC/80GGA: If your source of income is a business or profession and you are donating to an institution approved by the National Committee (Ministry of Finance) to carry out any eligible project or scheme, then you are entitled to claim a deduction of 100% of the amount of your donation under Section 35AC. Those valued with a source of income other than the Company can claim the deduction for this contribution under section 80 GGA.

80G: Under Section 80G, a 100% or 50% tax deduction can be claimed depending on the purpose and agency you are helping. If you donate to the Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund and other funds specifically listed in the IT Act, you are entitled to a 100% tax benefit.

Donations to other Non-Governmental Organizations that are registered with the Income Tax Department as eligible to collect donations with the benefit of section 80G, are eligible for a 50% deduction for tax purposes.

Charities use these provisions of the Income Tax Act to encourage donors.

What institutions are eligible?

Care must be taken as tax benefits can only be claimed by donation to certain institutions/non-governmental organizations. It is the prerogative of the Central Government to approve the specific program of charitable institutions for the benefit provided for in article 35AC/80GGA.

How do tax-deductible donations work?

Suppose your taxable income for that tax year is Rs 200,000 and you donate Rs 5,000 to a charitable scheme approved under section 35AC, then your net taxable income will be reduced to Rs 195,000 and your tax will be calculated on this amount. The institution you have helped will issue you a certificate for your contribution, which you can then use to claim exemption from taxable income. Simply put, the exemption works by reducing the amount donated from your taxable wages.

In the end, considering that non-profit organizations are playing an important role in generating social and economic change in the country, it is important that they get support from all sectors. This is where you come into the picture. You can reach out and contribute. Your support will help reach more beneficiaries and bring about much-needed change in society.

Mick Kupchak broke down in tears today as Yao Ming signed a 5-year, $75 million contract with the Houston Rockets. But this isn’t about Mitch Kupchak at all. Yao Ming is one of the best centers in basketball (mostly a reflection of the declining quality of centers in the NBA), and now he’s paid as such. Just looking at an NBA salary list, Yao Ming’s average annual salary of 15 million would rank fourth next season, just behind Kevin Garnett. Is Yao Ming as good as Kevin Garnett? The answer right now is no, but to be fair, they play different positions.

Despite his lack of game-changing ability, the Rockets had to lock Yao Ming into a big deal. If he had made it to the free market, someone would have paid him more. Why pay so much money to someone who didn’t even average a double double last season? There are a variety of factors:

1. Zydrunas Ilgauskas got paid. When a good borderline center like Ilgauskas charges 11 million per year, it increases the salaries of other centers. Thus, you end up with the real good centers like Yao Ming wanting a lot more than that.

2. Salaries across the board are up this offseason. Teams like the Bucks had a lot of cash and didn’t have good players to spend it on, so they did the following. They gave away money to players like Michael Redd (I never thought a pure shooter who wasn’t too good at shooting last year could make 15 million each, but I was wrong). With Redd’s ridiculously inflated deal, the players (and their agents) decided they should also earn much more than their skills dictated. Before you knew it, Antoine Walker was making 9 million over 6(!) years, and that was said to be a reasonable deal.

3. Who else is there? If the Rockets let Yao Ming go, who would they put in the middle? The only living fossil in the world, Dikembe Mutumbo? The NBA lacks good centers. Yao Ming is in the top 4 or 5 centers in the league, depending on whether you want to call Amare Stoudemire a center. Sure his 18-8-1 pales in comparison to Garnett’s 22-13.5-6, but at least he’s a center. Seriously, all tall people (basketball skill not required) should call themselves centers and find an NBA version of Drew Rosenhaus to get them jobs. I can already see it.

4. He makes a ridiculous amount of money for the Rockets franchise. The Chinese market has been open to the Rockets since they drafted Yao Ming. His games have been televised and have been selling merchandise, among other things. Since there are 1.2 billion people in China, there is a lot of potential money to be made. If the Rockets released Yao Ming, all this would be gone. This is not a reason on the court, but it is just as important. Sports franchises are, after all, businesses.

So essentially, even though he’s not and may never be an inside force like Shaq or the Alonzo Mourning of yore, Yao Ming is still a very good center, and most of all, he’s important to the Rockets franchise. He will be a cornerstone of this team for years to come, and he will be a perennial star in the West.

The 2005 NFL football season passed with new all-time records, with everything from Shaun Alexander’s record breaking 28 touchdowns in a season to Nathan Vasher’s longest return from a missed field goal in a incredible 108 yards (also the longest play of any kind in NFL history) to the Seattle Seahawks’ amazing regular season performance and loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XL.

Super Bowl XL was the 40th Super Bowl. The game was played on February 5, 2006, at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan, following the 2005 regular football season. The American Football Conference (AFC) champions The Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the National Football Conference (NFC) champion Seattle Seahawks 21-10. Although the Seahawks won the turnover battle, 2-1, and outscored the Steelers by 57 yards, Pittsburgh won on the strength of three big plays converted for touchdowns. The Seahawks were plagued by controversial penalties, dropped balls, clock mismanagement and a game-ending interception on a drive into Steelers territory. This was the Steelers’ fifth Super Bowl victory, and with this victory, the Steelers join the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers for the most Super Bowl wins by one team.

The upcoming 2006 NFL season will be the 87th season of the National Football League. This season is scheduled to kick off on September 7th and the opener will feature the Miami Dolphins playing the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at 8:30 pm ET. The regular series of games begins on Sunday, September 10, with the Indianapolis Colts playing the New York Giants in New York. Then, on Monday night, September 11, there will be a doubleheader: the Minnesota Vikings against the Washington Redskins at 7 pm ET, followed by the San Diego Chargers against the Oakland Raiders at 10:15 pm ET.

Three games are scheduled to be played on Thanksgiving Day. In addition to the traditional annual home games for the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys on that day (hosting the Miami Dolphins at 12:30 p.m. ET and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 4:15 p.m. ET, respectively), the The Denver Broncos will travel to face the Kansas City Chiefs at 8 pm ET.

The season will conclude on December 31, New Year’s Eve. Super Bowl XLI, the Super Bowl championship game of the 2006 season, will take place on February 4, 2007 at Dolphin Stadium in Miami Lakes, Florida, and will conclude the postseason. with the Pro Bowl in Hawaii.

According to the NFL scheduling formula, the intraconference and interconference matchups for 2006 will be:

intraconference

AFC East v AFC South

AFC North v AFC West

NFC East v NFC South

NFC North v NFC West

interconference

AFC East v NFC North

AFC North v NFC South

AFC South v NFC East

AFC West v NFC West

2006 will be the first year the NFL will use a “flex scheduling” system for the last seven weeks of the regular season. The system is designed so that the league has the flexibility to select games to broadcast on Sunday night that will feature the current top teams. The main purpose of this system is to prevent games with losing teams from airing during prime time at the end of the season, while at the same time allowing surprise teams with playoff potential a chance to play at night. During the previous 2005 season, a Monday night game on December 19 featured the Baltimore Ravens 4-9 against the Green Bay Packers 3-10, while hot and streaking teams like the Cincinnati Bengals, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Jacksonville Jaguars had little to nothing. no primetime games.

Because Christmas Eve (December 24) falls on a Sunday during the 2006 season, flex scheduling will actually occur seven of the last eight weeks. Instead of a Sunday night game on Christmas Eve, two games will take place on Monday, Christmas Day: the Philadelphia Eagles in Dallas at 5 p.m. ET and the New York Jets in Miami at 8:30 p.m. ET . Thus, the first real test of the new flexible scheduling will come with the 2007 season, with the final seven weeks scheduled to begin on November 18 of that year.

Under the flexible scheduling system, all Sunday games in affected weeks will have a 1pm ET/10am start time. or 4:15 pm ET/1:15 pm PT if it’s a doubleheader weekend). On Tuesday 12 days before games, the league will move one game to primetime and possibly move one or more games from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. During the last week of the season, the league may reschedule games up to six days before the contests so that all television networks can broadcast a game that has playoff implications.

The 2006 NFL football season is sure to be filled with new records, amazing stories, and incredible sports betting games.

Philadelphia over Houston. Michael Vic continued his path to MVP with another solid performance. The Eagles with all their talent and speed on offense held to 34 points with two more dropped touchdown passes and taking a long halftime sailing in the third quarter letting the Texans get back into the game. The bad news for the Eagles is that Vic was hit hard by a defense that is considered the weakest in the league. Vic isn’t the greatest quarterback in the league, but he is stronger than he looks but, many times after taking a hit, he gets up very slowly. The good news for him and the Eagles is that they have ten days to ice the bumps and bruises and for coach Andy Reid to find a way to lessen the punishment Vic is taking. The Eagles badly need a healthy Vic down the stretch.

The Texans also have an explosive offense but their defense has been their Achilles heel all season. That will be the cause of not winning the division. The Texans have Andre Johnson and now he’s so feared, even angry Eagle fans were seen giving him money before the game to help pay off the fine for the past few weeks.

Pittsburgh over Baltimore. The Steelers won a game that was tough and brutal as advertised. It was like old school football where anything goes. Ben Roethlisberger just earned the World’s Toughest Man title by playing through a broken bone in his foot and snapping his spike and spraining it early in the first quarter. Oh! Not to mention, he had to fight bloodthirsty Terrell Suggs throughout the game. The Steelers overcame injuries, poor officiating (Ben was hit in the head and Miller was knocked unconscious without a personal foul call) and blunt Ravens defense to take control of the division. Troy Polamalu’s sack and throw was the turning point of the game. Polamalu’s ability to make these kinds of plays is unreal. The Ravens never saw it coming. Isaac Redman’s catch and breaking up an inning was also huge. The Steelers’ resolve kept them in the game until their big players made big plays.

The Raven blew an opportunity to take control of the division and earn a potential first-round bye in the playoffs. They beat and bled Roethlisberger throughout the game. I’m not sure the Steelers would have scored a touchdown if Joe Flacco hadn’t fumbled after being hit by Polamalu. It’s easy to look back, but how come the Ravens didn’t see Polamalu lurking in their line of scrimmage? It would be so easy to switch to a running play on the other side. It was second and five. There was no reason to pass in that situation. Flacco also put together the fourth short and two passes. The receiver was wide open. You can’t miss those opportunities. I can’t fault Harbaugh’s decision not to attempt a 48-yard field goal in the swirling winds and cold. I can only criticize the execution on the pass. Now, most likely, the Ravens have gone on the road for the playoffs and that won’t be easy. The good news is that their defense will keep them in the road game.

Dallas beating Indianapolis. The Cowboys won a game they would have lost earlier in the season. They made key plays when they had them too and pulled off a terrific break when the Colts were penalized for using leverage on a drive late in the quarter. That allowed the Cowboys to score a much-needed touchdown. They controlled the clock with over two hundred rushing yards led by Tashard Choice and got turnovers when they needed them. Jon Kitna was solid and didn’t turn the ball over. Even the most maligned kicker, David Buehler, received a decisive kick in overtime.

The Colts badly need this game and they didn’t get it. Falling behind 17-0 is never good. The Colts have no running game and Peyton Manning’s four interceptions cost them the game again. Manning is pressing and his footwork is terrible. He often stands on tiptoe and does not see the whole field. He is also making bad decisions. Even with Manning’s error-prone play, the Colts still had a chance to win. The leverage penalty on a field goal attempt was as great as Manning’s four interceptions. The Colts now face an uphill battle just to sneak into the playoffs.

Chicago over Detroit. The Bears just find a way to win close games. It’s just his year. The Lions just find a way to lose close games. It’s not his century.

Green Bay over San Francisco. The Packers won a game wearing the ugliest uniforms in NFL history. They must be burned immediately. The 49ers haven’t beaten a team in cold weather since Joe Montana was quarterback.

Kansas City over Denver. The Chiefs almost got caught looking forward, but they escaped with a win. The Broncos have now shown that they can lose by being boring, too.

Atlanta over Tampa Bay. The Falcons and Matt Ryan team up to win another close game. The Buccaneers had this game under control until their old-school orange jerseys caused 11 players to miss tackles on a kickoff return for a Falcons touchdown.

New Orleans beats Cincinnati. The Saints are just as explosive on offense, but they needed the Bengals to fall in love with what has never been done before. “Lure yourself offside with a strong count” trick.

New York Giants defeating Washington. The Giants did what they wanted on offense and defense. The Redskins were inept in every way except being on time.

Minnesota destroying Buffalo. The Vikings proved they can win without Brett Farve. But Farve was there in spirit making Tarvaris Jackson throw interceptions as well. The Bills ultimately suffered a non-heartbreaking loss and seemed relieved in the process.

Cleveland beating Miami. The Browns have now won two in a row since the first time this season. Too bad it’s not the win over Miami that the city of Cleveland really wanted. The Dolphins are now heading into the ever-dreaded 500 season.

Oakland over San Diego. The Raiders came out on top and won a game that many thought was impossible since the Chargers haven’t lost in December since 2005. The Chargers must have spent the week checking out the real estate market in Los Angeles.

Seattle over Carolina. The Seahawks’ victory allowed the Seahawks to keep their goal of a bowl berth intact. The Panthers hope the season ends today so they can have the first pick in the draft.

St. Louis over Arizona. The Rams finally ended a losing streak against the Cardinals. Cardinal coach Whisenhunt is finding out it’s hard to win when your quarterback is Kurt Warner

If you’re thinking about buying an exercise bike, you should have heard of Lifecycle. They are quite simply the Rolls-Royce of exercise bikes. However, what follows is not a glowing recommendation; instead, you’ll find out what models are offered, their features, price, and whether or not they’re a good buy.

Life Fitness has been manufacturing exercise bikes for over 30 years and is in the enviable position of being considered the market leader. The company’s customer list says a lot about the quality of its machines. Clients include Gold’s Gym, 24-Hour Fitness, and entire sports teams like the Los Angeles Lakers, San Francisco 49ers, Houston Astros, and Colorado Avalanche. A fitness company can’t get a better recommendation than when its machines are the first choice of professional athletes.

The company’s entry-level upright C1 model retails for around $1,000. It sounds pretty silly to say both entry level and $1,000 in the same sentence when talking about exercise bikes, but remember we’re talking about the best in the industry. For the same amount of money, you could buy a high-end Schwinn exercise bike.

So what exactly do you get for your money? Well you will get a very well made bike. The company is so confident in the build quality that it offers a lifetime warranty on the frame, 3 years on parts, and 1 year on labor.

Another thing to keep in mind is that with each bike there is the option of Basic Console or Advanced Console. The Basic Console comes with 5 programs; Manual, Hill, Random, EZ Incline and sports training. The LCD console displays the following information; level, time, speed, distance, heart rate, target heart rate, and calories. The Advanced Console has the same 5 programs and 5 additional ones; fat burning, cardio, heart rate hill, heart rate interval, and extreme heart rate. You also get 2 special training programs; purpose and habit. The cost of any Schwinn exercise bike will be an additional $300 for the Advanced Console, so the C1 model would cost around $1,300 equipped with the Advanced Console.

The next model from the C1 is the C3 (C3-5). The bike is built stronger and has a higher rider weight capacity of 400lbs (the C1 has a 300lbs weight capacity). It is also self powered. With the Basic Console it sells for around $1,500.

The third and most expensive in the upright series is the C9i. This is the home edition of the Lifecycle exercise bike gym model. It comes with its own console. Key features include LifePulse and wireless digital contact and special workouts; Programs include Around the World, Waterfalls, Foothills, Kilimanjaro, Speed ​​Training, and Interval Training.

For each upright there is a corresponding Lifecycle recumbent exercise bike. So for the C1 the equivalent recumbent model is the R1, for the C3 and C9i the corresponding models are the R3 and R9i. You get the same consoles, programs, and other features as the verticals.

All Lifecycle exercise bikes are excellent machines and it really is hard to fault them. Perhaps one area you could find fault with is the seat on the C1 and C3 recumbent models. Whether or not a seat feels comfortable is a very subjective matter, but I have a Tunturi exercise bike and find its seat to be more comfortable than the Lifecycle, but I’m sure others would disagree.

Also, one could find fault with the price. They are good machines, but the cost makes them inaccessible to many. And it could well be argued that you could find a machine of the same quality, or better, for less money. For example, my Tunturi E60R is around $1000, but it comes with 8 scalable workout profiles and 8 user profiles that cater to individual fitness goals, iFIT, and you can edit and adjust the preset profiles even when you’re working out.

A Lifecycle exercise bike is an excellent piece of equipment; It’s well made, comes with a console option, fancy software, and is made by a company with one of the best names in the business. However, my advice would be to look at the models from many other manufacturers and compare them; You are going to pay a lot of money, so you have to be absolutely sure that it is the right machine for you.

from now on.

Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your dance cardio.

experience:

  1. Please dress appropriately, including and especially your footwear! The right shoes can make your cardio class a joy; incorrect ones can cause injury. With dance cardio, you move slightly to the sides, rather than forward, like you do when you walk or run. So you will need shoes made especially for cardio dance. If you don’t want to invest in specific cardio dance shoes right away, at least make sure you have elliptical trainers; that way, if the classes don’t work for you, you can use them for other activities. . If you’re a woman, be sure to wear a sports bra that’s very supportive, even if you’re doing a low-impact class, at the very least a jogging bra. You don’t really want to hang around, it’s uncomfortable, and if you’re more than a B cup, it’s downright painful.
  2. When you first come to class, arrive early and tell the instructor that you are a beginner. That way he or she can take extra time with you or at least make sure you’re in a place where you can see what’s going on.
  3. Start with a simple class, something with a name like “Aerobics for Beginners” or “Hi-Lo I.” Don’t even think about the “Tae-Yo-Fusion-Funk-Pump III” class just yet! Go as basic as possible. When you start to get bored with the basics, try something more advanced or adventurous, like a funk class or a Step class.
  4. Follow the instructor as if you were looking at a mirror. Don’t think too much about left and right, that can get confusing. Just mimic/mirror what the instructor is doing to the best of his ability. Don’t overthink it. Thinking gets in the way of doing. The less you think, the better you will be.
  5. Once the class has a basic step down, the instructor will usually try to change it up a bit, add something fancy like a special kick or a different way of walking or, oh my! – one turn. If you are an absolute beginner at aerobics, this may be disconcerting at first. Don’t worry, just keep doing the basic step the way you were originally taught. Or if you try the new form and get lost, go back to the basic move. Always, if you get confused, go back to the original step until you get your bearings.
  6. Instructors will often add arm movements to your foot movements. Consider those optionals for now. Arm movements are good because they add intensity and help get your heart rate up, especially if your arms stay at or above heart level. But if you’re just starting out, they can be really confusing. Try them only when you feel really confident with what your feet are doing.
  7. Your cardio class will often end with some strength training. Do the movements carefully. With many of these classes, you only use light weights or body resistance, so you have to focus on the muscles being worked, or you won’t get much of a workout. And if you can’t do those last few crunches, don’t worry. It is not a competition.
  8. If you have one of those cheerleading instructors who wants you to yell and yell and you’re not the yell and yell type, then don’t do it! Seriously, vocal participation is not necessary. Make everyone else look stupid.
  9. If you’re too shy to do cardio dance with a crowd of people, try some videos at home first. There are loads of cardio dance DVDs for all fitness levels. Just be sure to read the reviews first to make sure they’re appropriate for your beginner level.
  10. Here’s the real beauty of working out with cardio dance videos: You can pause the routine and go back as many times as you like until you’re down a step. The first few times, accept the fact that you may not train very much because you’re just learning the moves (actually, some of the enjoyment should come from learning). But after that, you should be fine. A word of caution: be careful when making some movements on the mat, especially anything where you’re jumping, spinning, or sliding your feet across the floor. And make sure you’ve cleared some space—it’s no fun to kick over your coffee table.

If you keep going back to your cardio dance classes, the time will come when

everything falls into place and you feel like you are lighter than air. enjoy it – that

the feeling of euphoria is the dancer’s high, and there’s nothing like it.

How do you beat press coverage when coaching youth soccer? Most undrafted teams in youth soccer do not play this type of coverage with their defensemen, as it requires very physical and athletic corners. Press coverage almost always has defensive backs right in front of your receivers, with defensive backs playing very physically, they will try to get their hands on your receivers and try to jam them in the line of scrimmage. You may come across one or two teams per season that may get press coverage some of the time, or if you play in a tournament, you may see a team stacked with this type of coverage all the time. In any case, if you are a good coach, you want to be prepared.

Press coverage is almost always coverage of men in youth soccer. Remember this is not the NFL, a defensive back can put his hands on the receiver as long as the ball is not in the air and until the receiver has made it apparent that he is no longer a potential blocker (after he is behind the defender). ). ). If you throw a lot of timing routes like tilts, arrows, short jerks, and screens, press coverage often completely disrupts the timing and effectiveness of these plays. On longer routes, the defensive strategy is to move receivers out of their route paths and slow down, giving linebackers more time to sack the quarterback before the receiver can get open or into his spot.

hitting him

To beat press coverage, you need to create space between your receiver and the defender. Space gives your receivers a chance to make a move and put extra space between themselves and the defender before rushing contact can be made. You do this by lining up, making sure your main threat receivers are out of the line of scrimmage by placing them in a flanker, slot, or wing position. The most effective way to put space between your receivers and press coverage is to get your biggest threat receiver moving. The move creates extra space and if you move under another receiver or even through the formation, defenders often have to switch man assignments, creating havoc and creating space for your other receivers as the defense realigns.

other solutions

Another way to counter male press coverage is through technique. If a receiver wants to get out, he can use a swimming move to get past the defender. If he wants to go inside, he can use a rip move, if he wants to run over or go to either side of the defender, he can also use a club move. If you have a dominant athletic pass receiver and the defender is less physical than your man, these are effective techniques for beating this coverage. Even if the defender is physical, he can get tired of getting hit on his forearms every time he tries to get his hands on his receiver. I’ve seen defenders stop putting their hands on receivers after they’ve been hit multiple times in a row.

the shallow

Against press coverage teams, you’ll always want to hit cross-country vertical shots early, as well as run “shallow” routes. Shallow routes are routes where the receiver runs parallel to the line of scrimmage behind the defensive linemen and crosses the formation to the other side. We often combine this with dips from both receivers from the opposite side, to create a wide-open short zone where we can hit the shallow receiver, on the run. That kind of route is usually wide open against teams that use press coverage, since those teams often like to attack linebackers as well. Just run into that open space and make them pay for the blitz with a pass that hits very fast and generally has a good chance for yardage after catching. The surface move is extremely effective when using the move towards the quarterback.

While we could use some of these concepts outside of our base set, we generally run them outside of our Spread Single Wing set, the one we use to run the Jet series. Obviously, you could adapt these concepts to just about any offense.

This is something you want to work on as the season progresses because eventually you’re going to run into a team that has the kids to use the press coverage. Our job as coaches is to make sure that we put our kids in a position to succeed.
