BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA For some of us, its never easy getting back in the gym after the holidays. While were used to feasting on holiday comfort foods, the beginning of the year is when the shift to become healthier kicks into gear.

Unfortunately, most people who begin the year with a fitness resolution fall off the wagon after a few weeks or months. But our Pro-Health & Fitness Center Exercise Specialist Katie Munn is here to lend a helping hand.

Here are her top five recommendations on how to maintain your New Years fitness resolutions for months to come.

Create a realistic plan to achieve your goals Its time to make your realistic and achievable plan for your realistic and achievable goals. Only you know what your body can and cannot do, so its important to stay practical and achievable in the workout routines that you choose. Its important to find out what drives you and what gives you that adrenaline rush. Its crucial to create an exciting and realistic fitness plan to reach your goals.

Track your progress It is important to track your fitness progress every step of the way. If you are not seeing progress, it is time to switch up the routine and try a different approach. Consider trying new cardio machines, take a new fitness class and outdoor activities youve always wanted to pursue. Get creative and choose a tracking method that will work for you. There are many different phone apps for tracking, daily fitness logs/journals, visual graphs and charts.

Reward yourself While its important to reward yourself after reaching important health milestones, it doesnt always have to be food-related. It can be new clothes, a well-deserved nap or a trip to the movies. You know what drives you to succeed, and your reward should not regress progress.

Surround yourself with a positive support system Its easy to get disappointed and feel like quitting, which is why having a support system is an important element on your health journey. Family and friends are often great resources for maintaining fitness resolutions. This isnt going to be a walk in the park, so having someone to lean on will help push you through emotionally and physically challenging days.

Listen to your body We all strive to be healthy, happy and fully satisfied when it comes to our bodies. It is extremely important to stay hydrated and maintain a well-balanced diet. The ability to listen to your body and being attentive to your vitamin, mineral and caloric intake will only enhance your fitness resolutions.

It has been a weird winter. For many folks, it wasnt all that cold. Some areas in this country where snowfall would usually occur didnt have to deal with snow in any real way. For a lot of places, it almost felt like fall was just an extra four months.

Just because the seasons dont seem to be changing all that drastically these days, spring is still just around the corner and the days are getting warmer than theyve been.

So its clear that things are changing. And with that change of seasons comes the ability to go out a lot more. Theres plenty of stuff you can do outside during the winter! But spring and then summer bring a lot more options.

You can still find spots out in the world where you can enjoy the snow with such fun activities as skiing and snowboarding. But now you can go to places where you can do such fun stuff like surfing or mountain climbing.

Even just in your everyday life, you can enjoy more outdoor activities. Youve probably been jogging the last few months, but now you can do a lot more. You can ride a bike just for fun. You can play basketball. You can even just go take a nice walk while the sun sets.

If you have any kind of interest in taking part in some outdoor fun, you need to get some gear. Theres some gear you could use from the winter now. But for the most part, you need to pick up a whole new cadre of items. Items that will make your springtime fun all the more convenient.

There are plenty of stores out there for you to pick up some great gear. But if you really want to go to a place with a seemingly never-ending supply of options at great prices, you should head on over to REI.

REI was created to provide top-of-the-line fitness gear. An outlet that you can trust and depend upon. When you shop at the REI store, you can be sure that whatever you buy is going to be a home run. These are items that will last.

Bergen County Fitness Trainer With 'Ugly Lifting Face' Suggests This At-Home Workout - Teaneck Daily Voice

Former Vice President Joe Biden speaks during a campaign rally in Kansas City, Mo., on March 7, 2020.

It is virtually required in Democratic Party politics to periodically express revulsion about the bigoted political attackswielded for years against former President Barack Obama: images designed to emphasize his African roots, false claimshe was Muslim, the campaign of de-legitimacy based in the racist allegation that he was born in Kenya.

But thatmandated Partydenunciationoftenobscuresthe undeniable fact that while Republicans seized on and drove them all of those attacks also emanatedfrom within the Party, particularly from the 2008 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, which employed them to try to sink Obamas rival presidential candidacy.In February, 2008, Clinton campaign officials widely circulateda photo of Obama meeting with tribalelders while dressed in Somali garbon a trip to rural Kenya,an act which Obamas campaign chief David Plouffe angrily denounced as the most shameful, offensive fear-mongering weve seen from either party in this election.

In December, 2007, the Clinton campaign weeks before the Iowa caucus was forced to requestone of its volunteer county coordinators leave the campaign when it was revealed that the official, along with numerous other Clinton supporters, were forwarding and posting emails claiming Obama was Muslim and sent by madrassas to infiltrate the U.S. on behalf of radical Islam.

When Donald Trump, in 2011, began pushing the birtherism attacks against Obama into the mainstream, Politicos Ben Smith and Byron Tau wrote an article entitled Birtherism: Where it all began, and explained: The answer lies in Democratic, not Republican politics, and in the bitter, exhausting spring of 2008. While the blatantly false theory that Obama was not U.S.-born first originated on fringe right-wing sites and not from Democrats, Politicodocumented that it was during the 2008 Democratic primary, not the General Election,when the repellent theory first gained traction as a result of Clinton supporters spreading it:

Then, as Obama marched toward the presidency, a new suggestion emerged: That he was not eligible to serve. (See: Birther debate alive across U.S.)

That theory first emerged in the spring of 2008, as Clinton supporters circulated an anonymous email questioning Obamas citizenship.

Barack Obamas mother was living in Kenya with his Arab-African father late in her pregnancy. She was not allowed to travel by plane then, so Barack Obama was born there and his mother then took him to Hawaii to register his birth, asserted one chain email that surfaced on the urban legend site Snopes.com in April 2008.

All of that wasconsistent with a very deliberate and carefully crafted strategy from the Clinton campaign of depicting Obama as an exotic, foreign, non-American Other.In early 2007,the Clinton familys long-time chief political strategist Mark Penn wrote a now-notorious memoproclaiming Obama unelectable except perhaps against Attila the Hun, and decreed:I cannot imagine America electing a president during a time of war who is not at his center fundamentally American in his thinking and in his values, and directing that Obama be targeted for hislack of American roots.

In other words, the very attacks that Democrats with virtual unanimity today vilify as disgusting, racist smears were ones that emanated from their own party either from the Clinton campaign itself (maliciously spreading the photo of Obama in Kenya in traditional Somalian clothing and suggesting he is Muslim) or from various Clinton supporters (falsely claiming he was not eligible to run for office).

And now they are doing the exact same thing when it comes to plainly valid questions concerning Joe Bidens cognitive fitness: expressing revulsion and scorn at the mere mention of these questions and declaring the topic off-limits to all decent peopleeven though establishment Democratswere the ones who firstspread insinuations and even explicit accusations about Bidens cognitive decline when they thought doing so could help them defeathim and/or because it genuinely concerned them regarding his ability to defeat Trump.

Prior to Joe Bidens massive victory in the South Carolina primary and his even-more impressive Super Tuesday showing, many viewed his candidacy as all but dead. A fourth-place finish in Iowa was followed up by a fifth-place finish in New Hampshire, causing thecorporate donors on which he centrally reliesto flee and his political obituaries to be widely written.

But since then, he hasconsolidated his status as Democratic front-runner and, as is customary, he is receiving far greater attention than previously, particularly on the question most on the minds of Democratic voters: his electability against Trump. And one of the towering questions in that regard is his cognitive fitness: it is visible to the naked eye that the 77-year-old six-term Senator and two-term Vice President is in serious cognitive decline.

That is agrave matter not just because the establishment wing of the Democratic Party wants to put him in charge of the worlds most dangerous nuclear arsenal, a large chunk of the planets health, and the welfare of hundreds of millions of people, but also because it directly pertains to whether he can sustain the rigors and spotlight of a General Election against the incumbent President. And multiple incidents over the pastcouple weeks from Bidens forgetting the words of the most iconic and memorized passage of the Declaration of Independence to confusing his wife for his sister to spouting sentences that make no sense have only intensified those worries.

But, as the Democratic establishment has united with creepy speed and obedience behind Biden in order to stop the Sanders candidacy, those who now raise these concernsinstantly come under a withering assault of insults and attacks from Democratic Party operatives along with their crucial media allies: thinly disguised pro-Biden reporters who continue to insist on wearing the unconvincing and fraudulent costume of neutrality. They are invoking the classic Orwellian formulation from the novel 1984: The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

CNNs Democratic Party consultant Karen Finney condemned the discussionof Bidens cognitive capabilities as truly a disgusting low blow, demanding thatformer Democratic presidential candidates Julian Castro and Cory Booker both of whom themselves had commented upon Bidens cognitive failures (on camera!) announce (falsely) that their prior comments about Biden had been distorted.Castros Communications Director, Sawyer Hackett, dutifullyaccused those whowere raising these concerns of push[ing]Trump messaging about Biden; he also denied that Castro (or Booker) had ever themselves questioned Bidens cognitive competence, warning those who are raising the issue: dont try to throw Julin and Cory in front of you when you do.

Meanwhile, Politico and CNN reporter Ryan Lizza, more devoted to defending Biden than even DNC functionaries, spent all weekend conspiratorially insinuatingthat journalists who were raising concerns over Bidens cognitive fitness were part of a joint coordinated attackfrom the Sanders and Trump campaigns. Lizza and others like him promoted various outraged articles from Democratic Party-loyal sites expressing all kinds of indignation after four years of open season of musing casually about Trumps dementia that anyone would even dare discuss Bidens cognitive fitness to occupy the most powerful political position in the world. They all insisted that thiswas some sort of very recent invention on the part of the Sanders and Trump world to stop the Biden juggernaut: a last-minute act of desperation from the Far Right and the Far Left as Biden ascends to his rightful place in the Oval Office.

The problem with all of this? Aside from the fact that Bidens cognitive decline is visible to the naked eye and it is incredibly reckless andrepressive to demand that it be supressed, these concerns were first raised not by Trump operatives nor by Sanders supporters, nor were they first raised within the last several weeks. Quite the opposite is true: they were raised repeatedly over the last yearprincipally by Democratic Party officials and their most loyal allies in the media.

One of the earliest mainstream figures to raise serious questions about Bidens cognitive decline was MSNBCs Andrea Mitchell immediately beforethe June, 2019 presidential debate. The long-time reporter, not exactly known as a Trump sympathizer to put that mildly, went on air amidst a series of rambling, incoherent Biden appearances and said: the question is, does he still have his stuff? How sharp is he?, prompting Chris Matthews to immediately understandher point and reply: You know youre answering the questionwiththe question.

Oneof the most explicit and direct attacks on Bidens cognitive fitness to run for President and to serve came from Democratic Senator Cory Booker (now a Biden endorser). After a CNN presidential debate in September in which Biden had bizarrely rambled about how the key to solving the problems in African-American communities was having parents play the record player for their children, and during which Castro had pointedly accused Biden of having forgotten what he had said just moments earlier Booker unflinchingly suggested Biden lacked the ability to endure the rigours of the campaign (the full Booker interview is here):

One of the exchanges Booker had referenced where Castro accused Biden of forgetting what he said just moments earlier elicited a very intense reaction from the audience because, contrary to the attempts of Castros consultant to re-write history now that they need jobs and favors from Biden, who they expect to be in control of the party, both Booker and the audience knewexactlywhat Castro was suggesting about Biden. It was the same thing that numerous Democrats and MSNBC analysts were saying: that Biden is suffering from seriouscognitive decline that would make it very difficult to stand up to Trump let alone to govern as President:

Even more explicit than Castro and Booker was Democratic Congressman Tim Ryan. Prior to the New Hampshire primary, the 9-term Congressman from Ohio and then-presidential-candidate not only made clear that he believes Biden is suffering from cognitive decline but also admitted that members of the Democratic Party establishment routinely discuss this in secret:

Before Biden became the consensus establishment choice three weeks ago and Democratic operatives thus tried to impose a ban on speaking ill of him while deceitfully pretending they and their clients never did so for fear that it could cost them future consulting or political gigs within the Biden-controlled Party it was commonly and routinely acknowledged, even on DNC propaganda outlets such as MSNBC, that Bidens cognitive decline was an open secret among Democratic Party officials who believed it posed a serious threat to his ability to campaign, let alone beat Trump, let alone govern as President.

Just watch for yourself and remember this as they now try to convince you that this is just some recently manufactured smear by Sanders and Trump supporters;theyare the ones who have been raising this, with good reason, for more than a year:

Heres one of the most popular pundits among Democrats, Rolling Stones Jamil Smith, raising the issue delicately but clearly after Biden, for at least the second time, falsely claimed that he was Vice President during the Parkland school shootings:

A now-deleted tweet from Jamil Smith.

Screenshot: The Intercept

In September more than six months ago the playwright Dylan Brody, a devoted hater of Donald Trump and a fan of both Biden and the Democratic Party, said what any honest person was seeing:

Numerous liberals, including my colleague Mehdi Hasan and others, were warning in the fall of last year that Bidens cognitive decline was clear and would be used against him as a potent weapon:

After the early Fall, 2019, debates, discussions of Bidens visibly faltering brain were commonplace even on MSNBC:

The list of prominent political and media figures raising these concerns throughout 2019 is long and diverse.That this is some recently manufactured script coordinated by the Sanders and Trump campaigns to smear Biden is so laughably and provably false that pro-Biden reporters should be ashamed to show their faces as they claim it. But centrists as theyve proven since Trumps presidency began casually arrogate unto themselves the right to disseminate the most unhinged conspiracies without the need for any evidence and without the slightest regard for whether they are true.

Whatever else is true, there are large numbers of people who have long been watching Joe Biden who have been admitting that they see his cognitive decline and that it deeply worries them about his ability to beat Trump. That includes, indeed has been led by, Democratic politicians, operatives and pundit-journalists now supporting him whilefeigning outrage over this discussion (that theystarted)andpretending that its all some morally reprehensible fabrication recently churned out by his enemies.

Some are motivated by desperation to push Biden to the Oval Office and will sacrifice the truth, their integrity and their dignity to do it; others are power-flatterers who now see Biden as the new King of their royal court on which their wealth and access depends and so are re-writing their own history to delete what they said about him. Regardless of motive, its clear where these valid concerns about Bidens cognitive decline originated: from within Bidens own partisan establishment circles. The video and textual evidence is undeniable. When you hear them spin this lie,just confrontthem with this evidence. Most importantly, do everything possible to make sure voters see it before they pass the point of no return. Voting in democracy is valuable only when it is informed, not the by-product of elite deceit and propaganda.

Gyms and fitness studios in Atlantic Canada are stepping up cleaning measures amid growing coronavirus concerns and calls for so-called social distancing.

Fitness facilities from boutique yoga studios to large gyms have emailed members and posted notices outlining new measures being taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The measures include more frequent cleaning of high-contact surfaces like mats and dumbbells, and reminding members to wash their hands and stay home if they're unwell.

R Studios, three boutique fitness studios Rio, Rebel and Rogue in Halifax and Dartmouth, emailed members Thursday detailing the steps its taking.

The company said it is cleaning all equipment and floors between classes with new cleaning supplies that are a little bit stronger than our natural supply that we normally use.

R Studios also said it would waive late cancellation fees to encourage members who are feeling sick to stay home.

Move East, a boutique fitness studio in Halifax, also sent an email to members outlining the precautions being taken.

The business said it has doubled the frequency of its professional cleaning service, and is washing floors, equipment and door handles after classes.

It also encouraged members to wash their hands with an antibacterial soap provided in its washrooms.

Modo Yoga, which has locations in Halifax, Bedford, Fredericton and Charlottetown, posted the steps its taking to combat the novel coronavirus on Facebook.

As part of our #BeHealthy pillar we strive to create a clean and healthy studio space for all, but we need your...

The yoga studio company said it has increased how often its studios and restrooms are cleaned.

It said high touch areas including door handles, lockers, taps and light switches are being wiped down regularly with a hospital-grade disinfectant.

Modo Yoga also said it is disinfecting mats and props after every class, but encouraged members to bring their own.

The studio added: If you are feeling at all unwell, stay at home. You cannot sweat out a cold.

Meanwhile, GoodLife Fitness one of the largest gyms in Canada with more than 300 locations issued a notice about coronavirus earlier this week.

The gym said it uses hospital-grade cleaners to disinfect its clubs daily, and reminded members to wipe down equipment after each use and regularly wash hands with soap and water.

The first case of COVID-19 in Atlantic Canada was confirmed in New Brunswick on Wednesday.

A Nova Scotia health department spokeswoman directed questions about whether its safe to attend gyms to the Public Health Agency of Canada.

The federal agency says on its website that social distancing minimizing close contact with others is one way to reduce COVID-19 transmission in the community.

While it says avoiding large crowds and mass events can reduce the spread of infection, it does not specifically mention gyms.

Black women have made one thing clear when it comes to health and wellness: we want to feel represented when it comes to ad campaigns and access to quality services. Kim Walker, an accounting PhD candidate and Spin instructor, has faced challenges in her community as a student and as an instructor, but she's using those experiences to be a leader and activist on and off the bike.

Living in Wisconsin which according to 2019 US Census data has an estimated population of 87.1 percent white people and 6.7 percent Black/African American people was an adjustment for Walker coming from North Carolina. "Moving from the South to the Midwest was a huge culture change for me and I had a tough time when I first moved to Madison, [WI] just from the culture and a very homogenous population," Walker told POPSUGAR.

"It's a constant reminder of how different I am," she said. "You think about things much differently than your peers [things] that they don't even have to think about. They have the privilege of not having to think about things that we [Black people] have to think about," she continued.

Walker describes herself as "a traditional kind of view of a Black woman in this very white town," adding that simply being Black in a predominately white environment "took me some getting used to, and still I kind of struggle with it today, so, my outlet was Spin class."

Initially, Walker began attending Spin classes when she had a bad day. "I had 45 minutes to not think about how I'm so different from people, not to think about what this person said to me; just to be in my own world for 45 minutes," she explained.

Eventually, her love of fitness, specifically Spin, would lead her to become an instructor at the local CycleBar. "For me, teaching Spin class is very similar to education. I'm not providing accounting knowledge but I'm providing confidence. I'm inducing courage and belief that they can do anything they want within the 45 minutes that we're in this studio."

Walker isn't a stranger to being treated differently based on the color of her skin, referencing situations like people talking slang to her in academic settings. She explained that these types of situations have "happened over and over and over again," admitting that she had internalized them for a period of time. But when she's teaching, Walker said, "I've learned that no one looks at me any differently. All they care about is that I'm a damn good instructor and I give them a damn good workout."

As a Black woman in fitness, Walker said she loves that she can demonstrate that our differences are what make us stronger. "I'm not a size eight, I'm a thicker person, but I like to work out," she said. "Just because I'm Black doesn't mean I'm not as efficient as someone else. Just because I'm different and I don't fit your mold doesn't mean I'm any less than."
