Passage The ancient Egyptians believed that the world consisted of the land, sky, and underworld. They saw that nature had cycles. The Nile flooded every year. Plants grew and died, but grew again. The ancient Egyptians believed that people were also part of the cycle of nature. They believed that they could travel to the lands of the gods in the afterlife. They hoped to see their families after death. Ancient Egyptians believed that, for a soul to gain the afterlife, the body had to be preserved. They developed an embalming process called mummification. The Book of the Dead contains spells that were believed to protect the dead on their journey. The spells were said to allow the dead to defeat danger on their journey to the underworld. The funeral marked the transition from the world of the living to the land of the dead. Ancient Egyptians believed that the dead would make a long journey through the underworld to the Hall of Truth. There, the dead would face a great test. Their soul would be weighed against a feather. Good deeds would make the soul as light as the feather. Bad deeds would make the soul heavy. That soul would not gain the afterlife. Question What did ancient Egyptians believe about the world?

take five to 10 minutes to warm up and cool down properly.

plan to start slowly and boost your activity level gradually unless you are already exercising frequently and vigorously.

be aware that training too hard or too often can cause overuse injuries like stress fractures, stiff or sore joints and muscles, and inflamed tendons and ligaments. sports prompting repetitive wear and tear on certain parts of your body — such as swimming (shoulders), jogging (knees, ankles, and feet), tennis (elbows) — are often overuse culprits, too. a mix of different kinds of activities and sufficient rest is safer.

listen to your body. hold off on exercise when you're sick or feeling very fatigued. cut back if you cannot finish an exercise session, feel faint after exercise or fatigued during the day, or suffer persistent aches and pains in joints after exercising.

if you stop exercising for a while, drop back to a lower level of exercise initially. if you're doing strength training, for example, lift lighter weights or do fewer reps or sets.

for most people, simply drinking plenty of water is sufficient. but if you're working out especially hard or doing a marathon or triathlon, choose drinks that replace fluids plus essential electrolytes.

choose clothes and shoes designed for your type of exercise. replace shoes every six months as cushioning wears out.

for strength training, good form is essential. initially use no weight, or very light weights, when learning the exercises. never sacrifice good form by hurrying to finish reps or sets, or struggling to lift heavier weights.

exercising vigorously in hot, humid conditions can lead to serious overheating and dehydration. slow your pace when the temperature rises above 70°f. on days when the thermometer is expected to reach 80°f, exercise during cooler morning or evening hours or at an air-conditioned gym. watch for signs of overheating, such as headache, dizziness, nausea, faintness, cramps, or palpitations.

dress properly for cold-weather workouts to avoid hypothermia. depending on the temperature, wear layers you can peel off as you warm up. don't forget gloves.
