Review the 2-5-1 not only with just 3 and 7, but also with the full chords, because the full chord gives you a better harmonic context. The 3-7 is easier to play for quick solution.
Remember you can improvise on the scale of the "1" during the entire 2-5-1
Combine two of them: For example: 2-5-1 in C followed by 2-5-1 in D.
Then choose two other keys.
