5 Fitness Mistakes To Prevent

Many people approach fitness the same way, they jump in as hard as possible, diet hard, train hard, and get burnt out within a few weeks. That leads to many people giving up. This can even happen to someone with years of fitness experience who tries to start a new diet and training program. The best thing you can do to make sure this doesn't happen to you is continue reading this article to find out 5 mistakes thousands of people make!

1 - Not Planning Ahead

You have to plan ahead if you want to succeed with a healthier lifestyle through diet and fitness. Your diet, your training regime, your individual workout sessions, and your goals, both long term and short term, need to be planned before venturing into a new world. Failure to do any of these things listed could be catastrophic for your fitness lifestyle. Randomness is not always good, especially in the world of fitness!

2 - Excuses

Excuses are too common in our world today, and they are even more common in the fitness world. just because you have a little cough and no other symptoms does not mean you should put off your workout (unless you actually feel sick of course). Just because tonight is Friday and your buddies are all going out to the bar and they want you to come doesn't mean you can't workout. Eating healthy is too expensive is another excuse we hear all the time. In reality, it isn't really expensive at all. Excuses are completely worthless so why even waste your time making them up. If you want a better body and better overall health, quit making excuses and step up to the challenge. You don't succeed in life by putting stuff off because you have a 'good' excuse.

3 - How Often To Workout

Do you think working out for 30 minutes a week is good? Well, some people do. Do you think that you should workout everyday for 2-3 hours? Surprisingly, many people think so. Working out too little or too much won't get you anywhere. You have to find the happy medium to see how much you need to workout. If you workout too little, you will never meet your goals. If you workout too much, you risk injury and overtraining. Sticking to something like hitting the gym 3 or 4 times a week for about an hour each time is something good to go by. In fact, thousands of people already follow workout routines that follow that schedule!

4 - Magic

There are no magic pills, magic diets, or magic workout programs. If you don't want to put in the hard work and effort, you aren't going to succeed. I hate to sound mean but it's the truth. Stop believing TV commercials and awesome advertisements.

5 - Comparing Yourself

So many people lose motivation because they choose to compare themselves to somebody else, usually with more experience under their belt. Don't compare yourself to anybody. Your genetics are different than everybody, so you can't make comparisons that aren't fair. Instead of comparing yourself to someone else, why not compare yourself now to yourself a year ago. That is something that should motivate you dramatically!

Now you have read the 5 easiest mistakes to avoid in the world of fitness. If you set realistic goals and don't make the mistakes listed in this article, there are very few things in the world that can stop you from reaching them. Feel free to bookmark this article and come back to it anytime!

Adventure - The Colossal Cave

1. Enter building. Get keys and lamp. The lamp appears here should you have to be reincarnated. 2. Unlock gate (with key). Get cage. 3. Try the magic word, XYZZY. Try it again. Get rod. 4. Drop rod. Get bird. Get rod. 5. Wave rod. Drop rod. Go get diamonds and gold. 6. Chillums Release bird. Drop cage. Grab coins and silver. Note: Dwarves are lousy shots, but sometimes, unfortunately, they can get lucky. Carry the ax, as you may encounter up to five of these critters. 7. Try the magic word PLUGH also. Drop silver, gold nugget, diamonds, jewelry, and coins. If you haven't already, you will soon encounter a thieving pirate. Not to worry, he's got to rob you at least once if you're to win all the marbles. 8. Carrying food, ax, bottle of water, key (all for later) and lantern, visit the software den (Microsoft Version only). Don't mess with anything--Software types are a weird lot. Get magic word LWPI. Works only from here. 9. Water plant twice. Get water for the second pass at the waterfall. 10. Attack dragon. Yes. Get rug. 11. Get oil (in now empty bottle). Climb the plant. 12. Oil door. Open door. Drop bottle. While here and while carrying golden eggs, enter FEE, FIE, FOE, FOO, one word at a time. Check your inventory. Go back to where you first found the eggs. 13. Throw eggs (to troll). Cross bridge before the FEE, FIE, whatever. 14. Feed bear. Unlock chain (with key). Get golden chain. Drop key. Get bear. Don't forget the rare spices. At volcano view, read and remember the words of fire. 15. Release bear. Don't try crossing the bridge with him on the chain. 16. Open oyster (with trident). Pearl will roll down into the cul-de-sac. 17. Insert coin to get a replacement battery for your lamp, if necessary. Coins are a treasure, however, and you won't ge them back, so try beating the game with the original batteries only. 18. Never drop vase unless you have already dropped the pillow. 19. Drop everything in order to enter. Get emerald. 20. Say PLOVER. Get pyramid. PLOVER, PLUGH and pi-tooie! 21. You must traverse the maze to get Pirate's Treasure Chest, which doesn't appear until he's robbed you. Return via the Pit and XYZZY. Drop all treasures in the House. Bongs 22. Drop magazine in Witt's End for a point. Get out by entering all different directions except north. It may take a while. Slog around in various and distant locations until a voice announces that the cave is now closed. At this point you are teleported to the two-room Master's Game. 23. Get black rod (with the rusty marks, not the star). Drop rod in the northeast room. Retreat to the southwest room. Type blast. Alternate endings are possible, but will not yield sufficient points to earn you the rank of adventure grandmaster.

Solving it in easy steps

WARNING: THIS WALK-THRU SHOWS HOW TO SOLVE THIS ADVENTURE STEP BY STEP, THESE ARE NOT HINTS! SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS ARE ENCLOSED IN QUOTES, SO TYPE WHAT YOU SEE. START OFF BY GOING "N". YOU ARE NOW STANDING AT THE END OF A ROAD BEFORE A SMALL BRICK BUILDING. THIS BUILDING IS THE WELLHOUSE, AND IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE GAME. THE OBJECT OF THIS GAME IS TO GET THE 15 TREASURES BACK TO THE WELLHOUSE. Metal Pipes CONTINUE WITH "IN", AND YOU ARE INSIDE THE WELL HOUSE, SO "GET FOOD", "GET LAMP", "GET KEYS", "GET BOTTLE". NOW, THERE ARE THREE MAGIC WORDS YOU NEED TO USE. THEY ARE PLUGH, XYZZY AND PLOVER. TWO OF THESE WORDS ARE USED TO GET TO AND FROM THE WELLHOUSE AND PARTS OF THE CAVE. THE THIRD, PLOVER IS USED TO GET BETWEEN TWO PARTS OF THE CAVE. ANOTHER THING TO REMEMBER IS THAT YOUR LAMP LIGHT IS LIMITED, SO TURN OFF YOUR LAMP WHEN YOU DO NOT NEED IT! NOW ON TO THE CAVE. SAY "PLUGH", THEN "LAMP ON", "S", "GET SILVER", "DROP KEYS", "DROP FOOD", "DROP BOTTLE", "N". YOU ARE NOW BACK AT Y2. HERE IS WHERE YOU USE PLOVER. SO SAY "PLOVER", THEN "NE", "GET PYRAMID", "S", "LAMP OFF", "DROP LAMP", "DROP SILVER", "DROP PYRAMID", "GET EMERALD", "W", "DROP EMERALD", "BACK". THE REASON YOU DID ALL OF THAT WAS THAT THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE EMERALD OUT OF THE PLOVER ROOM IS OUT THROUGH THE CRACK, BUT YOU CAN NOT CARRY ANYTHING ELSE WITH YOU. NOW "GET LAMP", "GET SILVER", "GET PYRAMID", THEN "PLOVER" AND "PLUGH". YOU ARE NOW BACK IN THE WELLHOUSE, SO DROP OFF YOUR TREASURES SO FAR. TYPE "DROP SILVER", "DROP PYRAMID". BACK TO THE CAVE WITH "XYZZY", AND "LAMP ON", "E", "GET CAGE", "W", "GET ROD", "W", "W","DROP ROD", "GET BIRD", "GET ROD", "W", "D","W", "WAVE ROD". THERE IS NOW A CRYSTAL BRIDGE ACROSS THE CHASM. CONTINUE WITH "DROP ROD", THEN GO "W", "GET DIAMONDS", "E", "E", "S", "GET GOLD", "N", "D". AT THIS POINT YOU WILL SEE A HUGE GREEN SNAKE BARING YOUR WAY. TO BE RID OF THE SNAKE, "DROP BIRD", AND THE SNAKE IS DRIVEN AWAY. AT THIS POINT I NEED TO EXPLAIN SOMETHING ELSE. DURING THE COURSE OF THE GAME, A DWARF WILL SEEK YOU OUT AND THROW AN AXE AT YOU. GET THE AXE. THE NEXT TIME YOU SEE THE DWARF, THROW THE AXE AT HIM TO KILL HIM. THIS MAY HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES, SO JUST KEEP KILLING THE DWARVES. ANOTHER PERSON TO WATCH OUT FOR IS THE PIRATE. HE WILL SHOW UP AT SOME POINT IN THE GAME, AND STEAL WHATEVER TREASURES YOU ARE CARRYING. IF THIS HAPPENS, YOU CAN GET THE TREASURES BACK WHEN YOU FIND HIS TREASURE CHEST. CONTINUE WITH "DROP CAGE", "SW", "W". HERE IS A DRAGON SITTING ON A PERSIAN RUG. YOU NEED TO KILL THE DRAGON TO GET THE RUG SO TYPE "KILL DRAGON". THE GAME WILL RESPOND WITH "WITH WHAT? YOUR BARE HANDS?". ANSWER "YES". CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE NOW KILLED THE DRAGON!. SO, "GET RUG", THEN "E", "E", "S", "GET JEWELRY", "N", "W", "GET COINS", "E", "N", "N", "LAMP OFF", AND "PLUGH". YOU ARE AGAIN BACK IN THE WELLHOUSE, SO DROP YOUR TREASURES WITH "DROP DIAMONDS", "DROP GOLD", "DROP RUG", "DROP JEWELRY", "DROP COINS". BACK TO THE CAVE WITH "PLUGH", THEN "LAMP ON", "S", "GET FOOD", "GET KEYS", "GET BOTTLE", "D", "W", "D", "W", "W", THEN SAY "ORIENTAL" TO GET TO THE ORIENTAL ROOM. THEN "GET VASE", "W", "DROP KEYS", "DROP FOOD", "BACK", "N", "W", AND YOU HAVE NOW FOUND THE EMERALD YOU PREVIOUSLY PLACED THERE. SO "GET EMERALD", "NW", "S", "SE", "E", "GET PILLOW". THE PILLOW IS USED TO PLACE THE VASE ON, SO YOU DON'T BREAK IT. NOW GO "BACK", "W", "W", "D", "WATER PLANT", "U". THE PLANT IS CRYING FOR MORE WATER, SO NOW YOU NEED TO GO GET IT SOME WATER. BUT BEFORE YOU DO THAT DROP OFF YOUR TREASURES AT THE WELL- HOUSE BY GOING "E", "E", "NE", "E", "U", "E", "U", "N", "LAMP OFF", "PLUGH" AND YOU ARE BACK IN THE WELLHOUSE. SO "DROP PILLOW", "DROP VASE", "DROP EMERALD". BACK TO THE CAVE WITH "PLUGH", "LAMP ON", "S", "D", "E", "D", "FILL BOTTLE". YOUR BOTTLE IS NOW FILLED WITH WATER, SO GO "U", "W", "W", "D", "W", "W", "W", "W", "D", "WATER PLANT", "U", "E", "D", "GET OIL", "U", "W", "D". NOW YOU CAN CLIMB THE BEANSTALK SO, "CLIMB", "W", "GET EGGS", "N", "OIL DOOR", "DROP BOTTLE", "N", "GET TRIDENT", "W", "D", "DROP TRIDENT", "GET KEYS", "GET FOOD", "SW", "U". YOU ARE NOW IN FRONT OF A BRIDGE WITH A TROLL GUARDING IT. THE ONLY THING THAT WILL CAUSE THE TROLL TO LEAVE IS TO THROW HIM A TREASURE. THERE IS ONLY ONE TREASURE YOU CAN THROW HIM AND THAT IS THE EGGS. SO "THROW EGGS", THEN "CROSS". Glass Pipes YOU ARE NOW ACROSS THE CHASM. CONTINUE WITH "NE", "E", "NE", "E", "GET SPICES", "W", "N", (HERE IS THE VOLCANO), "S", "S", "SE", "S", "IN". YOU ARE NOW IN A ROOM WITH A FEROCIOUS BEAR, WHO IS LOCKED UP WITH A GOLD CHAIN. YOU NEED TO GET THE CHAIN, SO "FEED BEAR", THEN "UNLOCK" THE CHAIN, "GET BEAR", "GET CHAIN", "DROP KEYS", AND "OUT". THE BEAR WILL NOW FOLLOW YOU WHEREVER YOU GO. SO GO "U", "U", "W", "W", AND "CROSS". FROM NOWHERE, THE TROLL APPEARS AGAIN. JUST "DROP BEAR", AND THE TROLL WILL DISAPPEAR. NOW "CROSS" THE BRIDGE, THEN GO "SW", "D", "GET TRIDENT", "SE", "SE", "NE", "E", "N". YOU ARE IN THE CLAM ROOM, SO NOW "OPEN CLAM". (IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE THE TRIDENT BEFORE YOU CAN OPEN THE CLAM). NOW YOU NEED TO GO AFTER THE PEARL SO GO "D", "D", "GET PEARL". THEN "U", "U", "S", "U", "E", "U", "N", "LAMP OFF", AND SAY "PLUGH". THEN "DROP CHAIN", "DROP PEARL", "DROP TRIDENT", "DROP SPICES". BACK TO THE CAVE WITH "PLUGH", THEN "LAMP ON", "S", "D", "W", "D", "W", "W", "W", "W", "D", "CLIMB", "W". YOU ARE NOW BACK AT THE SPOT WHERE YOU ORIGINALLY FOUND THE EGGS WHICH YOU THREW TO THE TROLL. THE REASON YOU THREW THE EGGS WAS BECAUSE YOU CAN GET THEM BACK AGAIN! JUST SAY "FEE", "FIE", "FOE", "FOO", AND THEY MAGICALLY APPEAR! SO "GET EGGS", THEN "N", "N", "W", "D", "SE", "SE", "NE", "E", "U", "E", "U", "N", "LAMP OFF", AND "PLUGH". THEN "DROP EGGS".

YOU ARE BACK AT THE BUILDING, SO "DROP CHEST". CONGRATULATIONS, YOU NOW HAVE ALL 15 TREASURES! AT THIS POINT YOU HAVE ONE MORE THING TO ACCOMPLISH BEFORE YOU GO THE THE GRAND FINALE. SO SAY "XYZZY", THEN GO "W", "W", "W", "D", "D", "N", "D", "W", "D", "E", "GET MAGAZINES". YOUR QUEST IS TO TAKE THE MAGAZINES, AND PLACE THEM JUST INSIDE WITT'S END. THIS ACTION IS OFTEN MISSED BY PEOPLE PLAYING THIS GAME, AND AS A RESULT, THEY DO NOT FINISH THE GAME WITH ALL 350 POINTS AND THE GRAND MASTER STATUS. NOW GO "E", THEN "DROP MAGAZINES", AND "BACK". NOW COMES THE EASY PART, JUST WANDER AROUND THESE PASSAGES, AS YOU NOW HAVE SOME TIME TO KILL. THE GAME GIVES YOU A SET NUMBER A MOVES AFTER ALL THE TREASURES ARE IN THE WELLHOUSE, AND THEN YOU ARE TRANSPORTED TO THE GRAND FINALE. THE MESSAGE YOU WILL GET WILL START BY SAYING "THE CAVE IS NOW CLOSED", ECT. AT THIS POINT YOU ARE TRANSPORTED TO THE NORTHEAST END OF AN IMMENSE ROOM. DO THE FOLLOWING: "SW", "GET ROD", "NE", "DROP ROD", "SW". WHAT YOU HAVE DONE IS PLACED A STICK OF DYNAMITE AT THE OPPOSITE END OF THE ROOM. NOW YOU SAY THE MAGIC WORD - "BLAST".
