There's confusion in picking number of columns to cover with grid-columns. No need to panic. Just add 1. For this case, we want .box-1 to cover 4 columns. so, we write 1/5. Like this πŸ‘‡

.box-1{

// Cover 4 columns. 
//So, start = 1 || end = 4+1 = 5;
// grid-column : start/end; πŸ‘ˆ Short-Hand

  grid-column: 1/5;
}

.box-2{

// Cover remaining columns. 
//This value πŸ‘‡ is taken from .box-1 ☝️
//So, start = 5 || end = 12+1 = 13;
// grid-column : start/end; πŸ‘ˆ Short-Hand

  grid-column: 5/13;
}

For Mobile Screen

// The Media query mixin we defined at start.
//Took (mobile) πŸ‘‡ from $bp;
@include query(mobile){
  .container{

// Defining that, make the column 1 piece/100%;
    grid-template-columns : 100%; //or, write 1fr

//Defining that, make 2 rows, 1fr (fraction) each,
    grid-template-rows : repeat(2,1fr);
  }

// To remove the previously defined values 
  .box-1,.box-2{
//inherit defines the original value.
    grid-column: inherit;
  }

Let's Change the Game with Grid-template areas 😎

Yes exercise is very important and if you're looking for optimal gym supplements, amino acids should definitely be on your list. They play a crucial role in muscle recovery and growth, especially Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) and essential amino acids like L-arginine. I’ve been using a supplement that combines these amino acids, and it has significantly improved my workout performance and recovery time. If you're interested in boosting your gains and overall fitness, you might want to check it out here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Amino-Alliance-L-Glutamine-L-Arginine-Palatinose/dp/B0BG8YHQYX?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1

It's been a great addition to my routine!
