Vice President Kamala Harris said in a recent interview published this week that as doubts grow over President Joe Bidens ability to continue to serve as commander-in-chief amid questions about his mental fitness, she is ready to step up and be president.

The remarks from Harris come after Special Counsel Robert Hur concluded in his criminal investigation into Bidens handling of classified material that Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials, but no criminal charges were warranted, adding that prosecutors also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a juryas a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.

The report said that Biden could not remember basic details about major events in his life, including when he served as vice president in the Obama administration, and he could not remember within several years when his son died, even though he talks about his sons death often.

Biden then held a press conference to demonstrate his mental fitness for office and ended up yelling at reporters and forgetting numerous key details.

The report and the subsequent press conference ignited alarm bells among top Democrats who are privately panicking over Bidens electability, as a recent poll found that 86% of Americans believe he is too old to be president again, and 76% have concerns about his mental fitness.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Harris was asked if voters concerns about Bidens age and mental fitness meant she must convince them that she is ready to take over.

I am ready to serve. Theres no question about that, Harris responded. She claimed that everyone who sees her on the job walks away fully aware of my capacity to lead.

Jennifer Palmieri, who worked in the Obama and Clinton administrations and for Hillary Clintons failed 2016 campaign, told the Journal that Hurs report has really brought Harris ability to serve into the spotlight as she could be needed sooner rather than later.

There was always going to be a lot of scrutiny and pressure on her in the 2024 campaign, and that moments here now, she said. I think that the special counsels report has sort of accelerated that moment.

A recent Harvard CAPS / Harris poll found that if Biden decided not to run again, Harris would be the top choice among Democrat voters at 15%. After Harris, 8% of voters wanted Hillary Clinton, 7% wanted Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), 7% wanted Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), 5% wanted California Governor Gavin Newsom, and the list thins out from there.

An NBC News poll from last year found that Harris was the lowest-rated vice president in the history of the survey, with a -17 rating. Other vice presidents that were rated included Dick Cheney (+23), Al Gore (+15), Biden (+1), and Pence (-4).

Five ways to make your fitness routine more fun and engaging - The Mountaineer

550 miles separate UO junior Lexi Stevens from her home in the Bay Area. Like many first-year students, Stevens struggled to find community at UO when she arrived two years ago. That changed when she came across CHAARG, a club committed to combining friendship and fitness for college-aged women.

There are more than 110 chapters of CHAARG, or Changing Health, Attitudes + Actions to Recreate Girls, on college campuses nationwide. The organization's mission is to unite women through a wide variety of workout classes, as well as social events and small groups.

CHAARG members will participate in one workout class a week, trying out local studios from Glow Yoga to the Downtown Athletic Club. Additionally, members will join a small group of eight to ten women that will meet for coffee, go for walks or hit the gym. There are also multiple socials a term, with activities fit for that given season. Last term included a cookie decorating event.

Stevens and her friend Natasha Carrillo, a fellow UO junior, joined the group together in 2021. The two now serve as vice president of media and president & ambassador, respectively.

Stevens is responsible for running all of CHAARG's social media channels, which includes creating graphics and edits. Carrillo acts as the liaison between CHAARG's UO chapter and Nationals.

"It's just been an amazing experience to not only grow it with her and grow it with all of our other amazing exec members but to just be a part of something so moving and such a warm and welcoming community," Stevens said in reference to working with Carrillo.

Anna Carpenter, a sophomore at UO, discovered CHAARG at last year's Flock Party. Carpenter, who always had a passion for fitness, was immediately drawn to the community that CHAARG offered. When a spot opened on the group's executive board, she ran for and won the position of vice president of membership.

"I've met some of my closest friends through CHAARG," Carpenter said. "Every time I go to a workout, I'm just so happy to work out with the people next to me. Everyone is so positive. We do CrossFit sometimes, and I mean, it's hard. But having everyone to motivate you and give you positive feedback is really helpful."

Carrillo said that while going to the gym at UO can be intimidating, CHAARG has helped create a welcoming and inclusive space for her and others.

"My favorite part of CHAARG is creating that safe space for girls, Carrillo said. My freshman year, it was hard to find clubs that I was interested in, and now I feel like we've established ourselves pretty well known on campus. Hearing so much of the positive feedback from some of the girls is the most amazing aspect of it."

The wearable market has sort of rifted into two camps. In one, you have smartwatchessupplements for a smartphone, easy to setup and use. In the other, you have dedicated fitness wearables, almost all of which require some stupid subscription plan.

In the middle, you've got the OG. The Fitbit.

Among other wearableswhich are worth it, if you want to payFitbit stands out because it's just as good with or without its premium subscription. The premium subscription gives you access to data that you don't necessarily need, like sleep scores. Sans subscription, the Fitbit gives you all the vitals you need, with plenty of pre-loaded workout modes for tracking (think distance run, walk, swim, or climb). It can connect to your smartphoneiPhone includedto deal with maps, music, and notification. If you want to wear it all the time, it'll passively monitor your heart rate for anything concerning, and it'll record your sleep quality. Like I said, everything you need in the most affordable package out there.

13 Best Fitness Gadgets to Optimize Your Routine - Esquire

In an email sent to users Monday evening, Peloton revealed that starting February 27th, it will start transitioning Apple Watch users from GymKit to Peloton One-Tap tracking.

GymKit integration was once marketed by Peloton as an exclusive perk of its more expensive Bike Plus, but its become less of a draw in recent years. The company launched an Apple Watch integration in 2022 that brought Apple Watch calorie and heart-rate tracking to any Peloton machine, similar to many other fitness apps.

As a result, if you linked your Peloton to an Apple Watch more recently, you may not even notice the change. The company has been directing users to only use GymKit if they havent installed the latest software updates on their machines.

Like GymKit, Pelotons app integrates data from each workout to Apples Health app. As with GymKit, you can still track distance and pace and see your heart rate metrics on screen. Its just not using Apples proprietary fitness equipment API, so if you have the latest updates installed, things shouldnt change much.However, its still understandable that people who bought the more expensive Bike Plus for GymKit integration thats now disappearing will feel upset about the change.

As Victoria Song explains here, metrics like calorie burn can vary widely depending on the user and the type of exercise, so changes to the accuracy of the data provided may not be significant. Even though users can input their weight, gender, activity level, and other variables that affect the number of calories burned, wearables like the Apple Watch are providing an educated guess, at best.

But some fitness enthusiasts still enjoy tracking their workouts over time and seeing their aggregated health data on Apples Health app and now the only way to do that will be through Pelotons app.

Peloton is getting rid of Apple Watch GymKit support - The Verge

In recent years, the issue of age and cognitive decline in relation to presidential fitness has become a prevalent topic of discussion. This concern has been amplified as two of the frontrunner candidates for the 2024 election are nearing or exceeding the age of 80. Yet, should old age be a disqualifying factor for a president? As history shows us, and as mental health experts argue, the answer is not so straightforward.

Its a fact that a decline in cognitive abilities is a normal part of healthy aging. Our overall cognition peaks in our 30s and gradually declines over time. Common changes in thinking as people age include slower word and name recall, difficulty with multitasking, and mild decreases in attention span. Natural changes happen in the brain as someone ages, with certain parts important to learning and other complex mental activities shrinking, connectivity between neurons becoming less effective, blood flow decreasing, and inflammation increasing.

However, its crucial to note that there is vast variation in how people age, and chronological age does not necessarily reflect biological age. Therefore, mixing up names or having difficulty retrieving names, especially if the names are similar in structure, is not necessarily unusual as we get older.

While the brain undergoes changes as it ages, there are also benefits such as wisdom, judgment, and neuroplasticity that often come with age. This brings into question the true prerequisites for presidential fitness. Is it more about mental arithmetic, or is judgment more important? The role of the president requires wisdom and discernment, skills often honed over many years of life experiences. Therefore, age alone should not be a cause for concern.

Historical examples of presidents facing similar accusations of cognitive decline include Ronald Reagan. Yet, as history shows, cognitive decline does not necessarily lead to catastrophic decision-making. Its worth noting that the real test of a presidents fitness is their conduct in office, and that elections are the best way to evaluate a candidates suitability.

Public perception, however, can often be influenced by ageist stereotypes. An NBC News poll found that three-quarters of voters, including half of Democrats, have concerns about President Joe Bidens mental and physical health. These concerns about age and mental fitness have been a recurring theme through the past two presidencies. However, its essential to focus on mindset and cognitive screenings rather than focusing solely on age. Assessing cognition can be difficult even for doctors, and they employ a few different methods to determine whether someone has cognitive problems that fall outside the realm of normal aging.

As the debate continues, its vital to remember that there is a slight reduction in memory with age, but forgetting names is not necessarily a sign of a serious cognitive problem. Moreover, the benefits of normal aging and the experience-based wisdom that comes with it should not be overlooked.

In conclusion, while age and cognitive decline are important considerations, they should not be the sole determining factors in evaluating a presidential candidates fitness for office. The real test of a presidents fitness is their conduct in office, their ability to make sound judgments, and their ability to lead the nation effectively.

Struggling with stubborn belly fat? Worry not, you are not alone. Many people grapple with losing weight, particularly in the abdominal area. However, not all exercises are created equal when it comes to burning belly fat. There are specific types of exercises that have proven more effective in burning belly fat and enhancing overall fitness. This article will illuminate these exercises, the benefits of targeting belly fat, and the importance of maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle to complement your fitness routine.

Often dubbed as the king of abdominal exercises, crunches top the list of exercises specifically targeted at burning belly fat. They primarily work the rectus abdominis muscle and the obliques, helping you get rid of that troublesome belly fat while strengthening your core. The key to performing effective crunches lies in maintaining the correct form and controlling your movements, rather than rushing through the exercise.

Planks are another excellent exercise for burning belly fat. They work your entire core and help enhance your overall strength and stability. Besides burning abdominal fat, planks also help improve your posture and flexibility. The beauty of planks is that they can be done anywhere and require no equipment. However, maintaining the correct form is crucial to reaping the full benefits of this exercise.

Mountain climbers are a fantastic full-body workout, not only helping you burn belly fat but also improving your cardiovascular fitness, agility, and strength. This exercise targets several muscles simultaneously, making it a highly effective fat-burning exercise. As with any exercise, ensuring proper form and controlling your movements are key to maximizing its effectiveness.

Burpees are a high-intensity exercise that can help burn belly fat while enhancing overall fitness. They involve the entire body, which means they burn a lot of calories and help improve your strength, endurance, and coordination. Burpees can be challenging, but they are undoubtedly one of the most effective exercises for burning belly fat.

While these exercises are highly effective at burning belly fat, they must be complemented with a healthy diet for optimal results. Consuming a balanced diet rich in lean proteins, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables can help fuel your workouts and aid in fat loss. Reducing the intake of processed foods, sugary drinks, and high-fat foods is also crucial.

Lastly, its essential to understand that burning belly fat is not just about exercising and eating right. It also involves making overall lifestyle changes. This includes getting adequate sleep, reducing stress, and quitting unhealthy habits like smoking and excessive drinking. Remember, consistency is key when it comes to burning belly fat and improving overall fitness.

In conclusion, while there are numerous exercises out there, crunches, planks, mountain climbers, and burpees have proven highly effective in burning belly fat. However, these should be paired with a healthy diet and lifestyle for optimal results. Remember, the journey to fitness is a marathon, not a sprint. So, take one step at a time, and youll get there.
