CARMEL, Ind. and SAN DIEGO, Jan. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --The Silver&FitHealthy Aging and Exercise program is ratcheting up its industry-leading offerings to Medicare-eligible members nationwide with the introduction of new features for 2020. Alongside it's nationwide network of nearly 15,000 fitness centers available to members, the Silver&Fit program now offers: over 250 streaming, on-demand group exercise classes; health coaching for social engagement, nutrition, weight control, exercise, sleep quality and stress management; a social club network; the Silver&Fit mobile app; an enhanced online fitness center profile page and search engine; 35 home fitness kits; and an enhanced Connected! program that aggregates exercise data across over 250 wearable fitness devices and apps, so that members can better monitor their steps, heart rate, sleep or other health data.

"We are extremely pleased to offer a range of new features for health plans and their members who are striving to stay healthy, fit and connected to their communities," said George DeVries, chairman and CEO of American Specialty Health Incorporated(ASH), which launched the Silver&Fit program in 2007. "The New Year is the time when most Americans take stock of their health and fitness and set goals to get healthier. We want to make sure that our health plans and members know we are evolving to meet their needs.

"For example, with our new health coaching program, members who want more hands-on support to set health and fitness goals or to change their health behaviors can engage in live coaching, video coaching, or chat coaching with our certified lifestyle health coaches. And members who may not always be able to get to a gym or fitness center can stream some of the latest and highest quality group exercise classes on their phones, their laptops, tablets or TVs," DeVries said.

The Silver&Fit Program Offers Industry-Leading New Features to Keep Seniors Healthy and Fit in 2020 - PRNewswire

Frank and Linda Burkhard aren't slowing down.

Like many senior citizens, the Arbutus Park Retirement Community residents maintain active lifestyles, volunteering and socializing in the community.

"Just because you are retired from your job you've done for 20 or 30 years doesn't mean you sit at home and be a couch potato," 68-year-old Linda Burkhard said on a break from volunteering at Arbutus Park Manor nursing facility.

To help keep themselves healthy, the couple regularly participate in exercise classes both at Arbutus and at East Hills Recreation.

Seniors looking to become more active in the new year have free access to more than 80 gyms and facilities in Cambria and Somerset counties.

The Silver Sneakers program, a national network of facilities offering programs for seniors, is included in all Medicare Advantage plans through Highmark and UPMC For Life.

Exercise can really help people live longer, healthier lives, said Helene Weinraub, UPMC Health Plan vice president for Medicare. It is not just for body builders. Now gyms have classes for everybody.

Insurance companies offer the Silver Sneakers benefit as part of an overall focus on wellness, said Ellen Galardy, Highmark vice president for senior markets.

Healthy members allow us to provide health care for more people, Galardy said. We can stretch our dollars farther. And healthy members are happier members.

Johnstown YWCA Aquatics Director Viola Najjar testifies to the benefits of regular exercise. The 88-year-old leads several water fitness classes for seniors.

Programs for older people are designed to be low impact to avoid stressing bones and joints. Water exercise is naturally low impact, Najjar said.

It's so good for every part of your body, she said, noting that arthritis sufferers and those recovering from joint replacement surgery are able to work out in the 88-degree water.

It's a wonderful thing for older people, Najjar said. It's a good feeling. We have them do exercise from their head down to their feet.

'Keeps us active'

Frank Burkhard, 72, says he and his wife illustrate the value of a fitness routine.

I see a good bit of benefit from the exercise, he said. It keeps us active.

If I am off for two weeks, I see a difference, Linda Burkhard said.

The Burkhards are among 18 residents of Arbutus' independent living cottages and personal care unit who are regulars at Arbutus activities aide Diane Walker's twice-weekly exercise class.

Walker says the program is specially designed for older people, adding that she can see the results. Participants range in age from their late 60s to early 90s.

"When they begin, they are very slow and apprehensive, but as they get stronger, you can see the strength in their arms and their legs how high they can kick," Walker said at Arbutus. "I see an improvement in their balance. When they are walking, you don't see them wobble as much."

Lori Delic is an exercise physiologist at Silver Sneakers-participating HealthStyles at Chan Soon-Shiong Medical Center at Windber. She says research shows that regular activity helps improve the quality of life for older people.

As we age, we are naturally going to be losing muscle mass, Delic said. Vital capacities are going decrease with age. Exercise is one way to combat that and slow the progression of these things.

You have to keep moving to stay moving. When you stop moving, that's when things decline.

'Fun and ... friendship'

Silver Sneakers classes include exercise, yoga and water fitness options geared especially for older people. In addition to the classes, a Silver Sneakers card provides full use of participating gyms' workout equipment and other programs. Each member gets one session with a personal trainer who can develop a program based on the individual's abilities and goals, Weinraub said.

We want to keep you as active as possible, Dwayne Kaufman, aquatics and fitness director, said from the Johnstown YMCA.

It is all designed for people of this age group, he continued. With the yoga classes, we use chairs. We don't have people crawling around on the floor.

There are also at-home fitness kits and videos available for those who can't get to the gym.

But senior exercise programs also include an important social opportunity, the experts say.

It's for exercise, but it's fun and it's friendship, East Hills Recreation instructor Arlene Penrod said. It's just an amazing program. It gets them out and they have a lot of fun.

Class members often get together for dinners and other gatherings, she said.

It's the same at Arbutus, Linda Burkhard said.

We have a nice socializing time, with a little exercise thrown in, she said. Sometimes we laugh so hard tears are rolling down our faces, but in a good way.

Monday may be the most unloved day of the week. For many people, it represents returning to work after the relaxation of the weekend.

But Mondays also may be the best day to start a healthy new routine not just as a New Years resolution but at any time of the year.

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland say that Mondays should be viewed as a day for fresh starts.

The hashtag #MondayMotivation trends for a reason.

And with New Years Day 2020 falling on a Wednesday, this first Monday of the year is the day that many people are kicking off their New Years resolutions, 85 percent of which are reportedly health related.

The Monday Campaigns Healthy Monday Reset initiative supports New Years resolutions throughout the year.

The program provides weekly reminders to reinforce habits and actions that can prevent heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and other debilitating chronic health conditions, said Ron Hernandez, managing director of the Monday Campaigns.

The Monday Cues circulated by the nonprofit can range from reminders to practice deep breathing for 5 to 8 minutes to combat stress as well as recipes for meatless meals and encouragement to increase exercise such as running a Monday Mile.

The weekly Monday resets are especially useful following weeks where diet, exercise, and wellness goals may have gone unmet.

That can lead to a slump in motivation that contributes to the 80 percent of New Years resolutions that fail within a month, said Hernandez.

He noted that research from the Data Decisions Group conducted for the Monday Campaigns found that 73 percent of respondents said that refreshing their intentions every Monday would help them stick to their New Years resolutions.

A similar number said the resets help them get back on task after indulging over the weekend.

If you fall off the wagon, it gives you 52 opportunities to get back on track or refresh your goals, Hernandez told Healthline.

Health-related Google searches peak after the weekend, according to researchers.

Thats why health-promotion programs such as The Monday Campaigns focus their outreach efforts on the beginning of the work week.

People are more likely to begin new diets and exercise routines, or take positive health steps like quitting smoking or scheduling doctors appointments on Mondays than on any other day, according to The Monday Campaigns, which is a public health initiative associated with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, and the Maxwell School of Syracuse University.

Theres a spike in people getting health information on Mondays and Tuesdays more than any other day of the week, and people are also more receptive to the information on those days, said Hernandez.

Interest in The Monday Campaigns Meatless Mondays campaign and other initiatives also rises around the New Year, he noted.

Beginning the week with healthy behaviors helps to support good intentions throughout the week, according to research from the Data Decisions Group.

People who commit to changes on a Monday are more likely to continue through the rest of the week, Hernandez said.

Mondays are also a cultural concept. People absolutely view it as a beginning, he added. There is a percentage of people who view Mondays as something to dread, but also many who see it as an opportunity to get back on track.

This is all true even in a year when the calendar dictates that many people start their new resolutions in the middle of the week.

Given the low success rate of most resolutions, the first Monday of the new year isnt too soon to recommit to your goals, said Hernandez.

The Mondays Campaign partners with employers, schools, the media, and community groups to encourage healthy changes.

Affiliated campaigns include Meatless Monday, Kids Cook Monday, the stop-smoking Quit and Stay Quit Monday, Caregiver Monday, Man Up Monday (aimed at raising awareness of sexual health), the exercise-focused DeStress Monday.

Theres also Monday 2000, which encourages adults to reduce their calorie intake to 2,000 per day.

Bowflex and Nautilus exercise machines are 30% off - Mashable

Ugh. Can't avoid it anymore. It's the first Monday of 2020. Time for a clean slate in tackling weight loss and getting healthy after eating like crap and not making any time to work out for the last few months of 2019. Are you also in that place of having to start fresh for the new year? If so, follow along or do it with me!

2019 started off great for me. I was in pretty good shape through the spring and summer, spending time at the gym, and eating right. Maybe not perfect, but more good than bad.

Then September hit and I couldn't find an ounce of time to work out or eat right. I was overwhelmed with what I had to do as a mom and I put myself on the back burner. I don't mind putting my child first, but if I want to stay healthy enough to be around for my boys, then I know that being healthy can't be put off any longer.

By last November and December, I was insane with stress, lack of sleep, and eating whatever I could get my hands on. I had no time to grocery shop and cook, no time to exercise, and had zero discipline from that lack of sleep. Also, I tend to eat for comfort when I am stressed. And am I the only person who gains 5 pounds just by looking at a Yodel?

Of course the more I ate (badly), the more I just wanted to curl up on the couch in a blanket, hide from the world and give up on myself. And the more I strayed from any sort of healthy eating plan, the more I realized that since I was in 'cheat mode', I should use that opportunity to eat the things I never allow myself: Entenmann's, Wendy's, pizza, Chinese, etc.

Do I feel like crap? Yes, of course. The minute I finish stuffing my face. Can I stop? I sure hope so. I know what to do. But t's making the time, finding the motivation to remain disciplined and getting back on a routine that is challenging. So now I have to make the time to grocery shop, prep meals, clean/chop veggies, cook, and get to the gym. Plus I have to work up the discipline to get off of sugar, gluten, and dairy. Ugh.

Today I will start by making sure I down half of my body weight in (filtered) water (I use a Brita filter), and go grocery shopping for lemons for said water, along with lots of fresh salad material from the produce aisle and some frozen veggies that I can make and serve steamed or sauted. Baby steps. Today if I can get to the water with lemon, it will be the first small victory.

I have set up an appointment for tomorrow to start a medical fitness program called PREP at The Atlantic Club in Manasquan and Red Bank that your doctor (or gyno, chiropractor, orthopedist, nurse practitioner) can refer you to the way mine did. You don't need to be a member of The Atlantic Club to start this program. It's 60 days for 60 dollars!

You will hear more about that as I work on strength training and cardio while being monitored for safety. This particular physician-referred exercise program requires a minimum commitment of 3 days a week at the fitness center (two of those days include meeting with a trainer.) This program will make me accountable and will give me the tools I need. I already know that I can't do it on my own because I have tried. Being accountable is very helpful.

This program also requires getting on a scale and the gathering of some health stats before beginning. Translation: measurements of body fat, muscle mass, blood pressure, and resting heart rate.

So tomorrow I will suck it up, squeeze my eyes shut, and get on the scale to face the music. I will try to be philosophical and kind to myself, but in all honesty I am beating the crap out of myself mentally for the bad choices I have made to put me in the position of having to re-do all the good I once did, all because I ended up sabotaging myself. I've been on a rollercoaster of ups and downs.

At least I know I'm in good company -- I'm sure every gym parking lot will be packed today. And I'll bet every grocery store was a madhouse yesterday.

Let the fun begin.

How was the fall of 2019 for you? Are you setting goals for 2020? Are you also starting today or did you begin on the 1st or 2nd of January?

If it's any help to you, Karen Megles, TAC trainer, says, "Everyone has highs and lows when it comes to health and wellness. We can't focus on the past, we can only move forward and take one day at a time." Words of wisdom, indeed.

Liz's Weekly Journal #1: Messing Up at the End of 2019 - 943thepoint.com

NEWS A year ago, I set a goal to incorporate more weights and toning into my workout routine. And while my friends invested in gym memberships and/or paid online exercise programs, I opted for free workouts from Fitness Blender. Best of all, unlike most of my New Years resolutions, this one is still going strong a year later.

Fitness Blender is a website and YouTube channel that offers more than 500 free workouts, from a five-minute fast abs session to an 87-minute 1,000-calorie total-body workout.

Its run by Daniel and Kelli Segars, a married couple who are both personal trainers. They just celebrated 10 years of Fitness Blender and crossed 1 billion views.

The workouts are simple, no frills. Theres no music, no motivational speeches, no gimmicks. I love putting a Fitness Blender workout on mute and following along while watching TV. Or if I need a quick break from working on my computer, Ill throw on a 9-minute tank top arms session or 10-minute standing abs video to help me re-energize.

The website lets you search for workout videos based on time, difficulty, target area, equipment and more.

They also post health-related articles and free recipes, and have an online community board.

Fitness Blender offers some paid options, too, including workout program series that range from 2 to 8 weeks ($7.99 to $19.99) and a variety of 4-week meal plans for $24.99. Theyll also be rolling out additional features later in 2020.

The new year has arrived and you know what it means overworked goals, diets, and fitness classes. For those looking to make long-term health and lifestyle changes, the new year often brings severe headaches and sighs. With a range of discounted memberships, new training styles and required contracts, you can easily lose the noise and be ashamed of making the important health changes needed to live a higher quality of life.

LIVE WELL is a medical fitness clinic based on the belief that exercise is medicine. With locations across BC, including two in the North Delta and Surrey, their evidence-based programs are designed to help those struggling with health issues such as overweight, diabetes, hypertension or heart disease. It is also ideal for those who take a proactive approach to their health to avoid health problems along the way.

Members come to the LIVE WELL Exercise Clinic for many reasons lose weight, lower cholesterol, improve blood pressure, have more energy or combat stress. No matter who you are or where you came from, you will find an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome.

[Embed] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIC0gGwX1Gc [/ embed]

But how is it done? We asked four North Delta and Surrey residents to share how the LIVE WELL Exercise Clinic has changed their lives.

Specialized training programs in a supervised environment

I joined LIVE WELL because I needed a workout program that would help alleviate the chronic pain of fibromyalgia and arthritis and help my body move with more freedom, says member Connie Godfrey. My program is based on the exercises my body needs to heal and become stronger as I track and monitor my progress.

Connie has been at LIVE WELL for two years and now attends the newly opened North Delta Clinic. At 50, her health is more important to her than ever before.

Extremely fun, knowledgeable and caring staff takes time to check in with each member on a personal level. The clinics are staffed with highly trained and educated Clinical Exercise Physiologists and Kinesiologists, and the sessions are fully supervised, so you know you are in a safe space where your program is designed for your medical history and health goals.

But there is more here than exercises!

I was able to use the tools I gained through my emotional recovery, to push myself forward in my physical healing through exercises in LIVE WELL. I also have a much better balance, more confidence and I feel better afterwards exercise.

As part of their clinically focused approach to wellness, LIVE WELL also offers healthy eating tips, with on-site health coaches sharing the roles that nutrition plays in a healthy lifestyle.

The responsibility of having a health coach keeps me honest and true about the foods I eat and the level of my activity, says Connie.

The power of community

Cecilia Valenzuela joined the LIVE WELL location in Surrey in 2017, enjoying workouts designed for her unique health and fitness needs. Given her abilities and limitations, her routines constantly evolve with her changing health.

I have chronic and painful joint issues due to Lupus and Fibromyalgia. I also had liver failure in 2013 and kidney failure and pneumonia with collapsed bilateral lungs in 2016. I couldnt laugh either. I needed an exercise program. created for my health challenges.

Today, Cecilias regular exercise program has made her pain more manageable, reducing the number of flares and hospital visits.

She has seen other health benefits, too. Im more flexible and my cardiovascular health has improved. I could only walk five minutes and now Im walking for an hour. My strength has increased, Ive lost weight and reduced my waist measurements and my waist by four inches!

Often members join the program as a couple or with a friend. Whether its someone you already know or a friend you make joining, its just a part of the integrated support network in the LIVE WELL community. In fact, just a year after Cecilia joined, her husband Victor also joined LIVE WELL in Surrey.

I had three car accidents, the last one was in 2018. My memory is still affected and I have chronic neck pain in my back, Victor says. Since joining the program, hes seen improvements in his level of pain, strength, and flexibility.

For Victor, security and surveillance are essential. My Clinical Exercise Physiologist challenges me to do more and I know the exercises he describes are safe. I like the attention I get from the staff and I trust their advice.

Working with your doctor

After reading about LIVE WELLs clinical approach to health, Qamrul Mohamed joined as a member of the North Delta even before that clinic opened last spring.

My clinical team at LIVE WELL tracks such things as blood pressure, weight, heart rate and body measurements. After an initial evaluation at the beginning of the program, regular assessments let me see the real positive changes that are happening in my body.

Qamruls progress is regularly reported to her family doctor. In fact, LIVE WELL works closely with member physicians to create improved plans for their health a truly unique and powerful feature of the program.

The positive atmosphere and culture of support and encouragement all help me achieve my overall health vision: To improve my health and live the best quality of life I can, Qamrul explains.

Keeps what keeps Qamrul on LIVE WELL? The hospitality staff, their genuine concern for my well-being and their expertise. Today, I can garden for longer periods without back pain. I lose weight, have more energy during the day and feel good about myself.

Whether you are trying to lose weight, lower your cholesterol or blood pressure, or just want to get healthier, the LIVE WELL Exercise Clinic can help. But because of their attentive care, the LIVE WELL Exercise Clinic only accepts 300 members at each new clinic, so whether youre in the North Delta or Surrey, act fast!

BAY VILLAGE, Ohio -- The City of Bay Village and the Bay Village City Schools completed a Safe Routes to School travel plan in November after a public hearing in October and have submitted it to the Ohio Department of Transportation for approval.

The plan involves Normandy, Westerly and Bay middle schools. When the plan is approved, the city and school district can apply for grants to implement the project.

Kathryn Kerber, project manager for the city, said the grant application period begins today. We can apply for up to $400,000, she said.

The plan has to be revised and resubmitted every three years. We will have revisions, she said, because part of the re-submission includes doing updated parent surveys. Data has to be updated.

The purpose of the plan, she said, is to assess the current state of things pertaining to how kids walk and bike to school. Upon approval she said the city is eligible for some grants for improvements such as:

- Making intersections more pedestrian friendly and ADA compliant

- Implementing school programs, such as helping with Bike-to-School month, which is mainly for the exercise and fresh air, she noted

- Looking at doing a refresher Safety Town course (usually only for pre-K) for second-graders looking forward to permission to ride their bikes to school in the third grade

Other ideas, Kerber said, include working with the Village Bicycle Cooperative to teach students about bicycle maintenance and to designate particular students as the go-to kids for help in repairing and maintaining their bicycles.

Through the Safe Routes to School plan, the schools communicate with parents about the safest way to get to school, bicycles vs. cars, issues such as good lighting and crosswalks and which routes have the crossing guards, Kerber said.
