The equipment from the New Mexico State University Corbett Fitness Center is moving to Pinon Hall and is set to be exclusive to residents living in the dorm.

The vacant area will transition into an E-Sports lab.

According to Vice President of Student Success Renay Scott, the decision was made by multiple NMSU departments including Facilities and Services, Housing, Athletics, Student Success, ICT and Business and Finance, to introduce an E-Sports lab.

Once we identified opportunities in Corbett Center, a group of individuals determined the area that was formerly a fitness center was the best choice [for the lab], Scott said.

Executive Director of Health and Wellness at NMSU Lori McKee, oversees what happens to the fitness center. She said the decision for the lab to be in the fitness center space was so the lounge can be more of a focal point in Corbett Center.

The Vice President of Student Success was looking to find a central location for a new E-Sports lab, and they wanted it to be centrally focused where students hang out. They identified the place where our corporate fitness center as an optimal location for it. The fitness center area met their needs to facilitate that program, McKee said.

McKee said the new location is only going to be available to the residents of Pinon Hall, mainly due to security reasons.

Because of the security and of it being at a resident hall, they only wanted it to be accessible to those students that live in that hall, McKee said.

McKee acknowledged that this can be a determent to non-residential students, but said she believes the decision will be positive to freshmen students.

I think its an inconvenience in that all students dont like to go to the big gym and so the smaller gyms are a little bit quieter and more personable. But we did think it was a positive movement for the freshmen because it was moved to the freshmen dorm. So, they have that facility right there in their dormitory so they wouldnt be walking across campus at night to go to the big rec center as theyre gaining their bearings here in NMSU, McKee said.

According to McKee, the fitness center will occupy an unused classroom area in Pinon Hall with two rooms; one room for weights and another for cardio.

Scott said the plan is to put gyms into other dormitories at a later date.

I hope that having a small fitness center in Pinon and hopefully in other dorms in the future, that students would have access to exercise equipment during extended hours when the Aggie Fit Center is not open. Additionally, students may find it more convenient to have a small fitness in their dorm because it allows them to be closer to their living facility, Scott said.

While they considered other areas in Corbett for the E-Sports lab, such as Petes Place Computer Lab, McKee said they considered the usage in the computer lab too high compared to the fitness center.

Data from the fitness centers fiscal year between the months of July and December 2019 show a decrease from 1,061 people in August at peak, to 227 people in December.

Recent NMSU graduate Nicholas Arias, said he has been in both the AC and the Corbett Fitness Center. He said he doesnt agree with the decision to move the gym out of Corbett Center.

I thinks thats kind of a stupid idea. I mean granted, you have the AC which is pretty good. I think the AC is good for, you know, people who really want to be serious about it right. The Fitness Center was like the Planet Fitness of the gyms here, for good beginners. For that to be taken away is a little stupid. I think having those two things open so if say the AC was packed, I could just go to the one here on Corbett, Arias said.

The E-Sports lab in Corbett Center is set to open this spring semester. The opening of the fitness center in Pinon Hall has yet to be announced.

Why did you start it? I have been in law enforcement for 23 years and involved in boxing in one way or another for most of my life. I met my business partner, Doug Mango, during a difficult time in my life. Doug was my boxing trainer with over 30 years experience in combat sports. Getting back involved in training and helping other fighters literally saved my life. It made me believe not only in myself, but it gave me focus and health both mental and physical and a better outlet for my stress. When Doug presented me with this idea for this business, I absolutely loved it. I want more than anything to give people what I received from these incredible sports: peace of mind, self-confidence, stress relief and a sense of accomplishment.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Connected Wearable Device Market in Healthcare, Wellness, and Fitness by Device Type, Use Case, and Application 2020 - 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This report evaluates the current state of the wearable technology ecosystem including devices and applications within the medical, wellness, and fitness markets. The report addresses key challenges, market players, solutions, and the future of wearables in healthcare.

The report also provides an outlook for the future of wearable devices in medical, wellness, and fitness with forecasts for the period 2020-2025. This includes application analysis and forecasts by physiological activity and the role of wearables in elder care and assisted living.

Report Benefits

There is a great demand in the healthcare industry for remote monitoring and diagnostics. Driving factors include healthcare cost inflation coupled with a rapidly aging global population within the developed countries. For example, 20 percent of United States residents are projected to be age 65 or older by 2030.

Wearable devices for medical, wellness and fitness purposes are many and varied, consisting of various form factors depending on the purpose and placement of the human body. Wearable devices can be worn and/or integrated into apparel to become less intrusive. Sensors (biomechanical, motion, etc.) may be placed at specific parts of the body to communicate with an overall Body Area Network system.

Improving supply factors include improvements in electronics miniaturization and innovation leading to reduced device cost. R&D in wearable healthcare devices is leading to enhanced functionality, form factor improvements, and frictionless integration with the Internet of Things (IoT) systems and solutions.

Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication enables wearable healthcare devices to communicate autonomously with monitoring systems for both real-time decision making and data gathering for future analysis. Secure M2M enabled data transport and IoT system connectivity facilitates the integration of healthcare info with data analytics solutions.

One of the core reasons for wearables in healthcare is to transmit information for medical support from a licensed professional. However, there is also a market for quantified self in healthcare, which refers to the incorporation of technology into data acquisition on aspects of a person's daily life. This enables a Do it Yourself (DIY) tool for consumers to self-monitor and self-report important wellness items such as blood pressure. The alternative is to allow medical data to transmit to a trusted entity.

Advanced healthcare data management solutions, supported by artificial intelligence, are capable of processing massive amounts of healthcare information, including unstructured data acquired from many different sources and contexts. One of the challenges for the healthcare industry is tying these systems into healthcare devices in a manner in which data is leveraged while simultaneously preserving device security and end-user privacy.

CLAWSON, Mich. (FOX 2) - An accomplished personal trainer has a unique approach to getting his clients into shape - asking them "why?"

William McCray helps motivate each client to figure out their "why," and he says it helps them keep going and stay committed to their fitness goals. For Williams, his "why" came after he lost his mother to health issues when she was only 34 years old.

William McCray has a unique method to get his clients in healthy shape - he calls it the Why Method.

"Probably around the age of 12 or 13 I got a weight set for Christmas and that was really my therapy. I would get home from school and I'd lock myself in my room and I would be lifting weights all evening keeping people up in the house," William tells us.

His love of strength and fitness began as a child, and he's now turned that passion into helping others transform their mind and bodies at Willpower Fitness Group in Clawson.

"Getting people to really dig deep and to get totheir true reason why can be very emotional, it can take them back to some very tough things they may have went through," he says.

Ben Lange says he was beat down after his divorce and gained a lot of weight, but with William's help he got in shape in just six months.

"Building the self esteem back up to really get back into it, absolutely. Because my self esteem was crushed after my divorce, so it took a lot of motivating mentally," Lange says.

Derek Brooks pushes himself in the gym so his family history doesn't repeat itself.

"I lost my parents at a young age due to health issues, some of it is genetic so I want to do my best to keep myself in shape so I can live longer and prosper, Brooks says.

Once William helps them hone in on their "why," he goes into full fitness force helping his clients work every part of the body.

"My principal is getting the body to do as many activities as possible, to get the muscles to really respond. So any given session you may do boxing, kickboxing, a lot CrossFit type of things - so battle ropes, sled, tire flips - we have a lot of different tools in here to really get people going," William says.

And after you leave his gym, William helps you keep your will power by keeping tabs on your nutrition and wellness.

The response has been strong, evident in all the before-and-after pictures plastered all over the gym wall. And those results are what keeps the clients coming back.

"I probably want my clients to reach their goal more than they do. To me, that's the ultimate win for me," William says.

He's looking to expand and also get an online presence, so those on a fitness journey all over the world can access his plan.

As the third week of the semester sets in, students are starting to get settled in their classes; one of the ways students can de-stress is through exercise. Campus Recreation offers a number of fitness classes, including yoga, cylcing, zumba and circuits, to name a few.

Ive seen first-hand the effects that working out has on my mental clarity and my overall happiness and well-being in life. Ive seen it affect other people in that way too, said Kara Donbrock, program manager of fitness and wellness for Campus Recreation.

The classes are open to students, staff and faculty alike for any reason; whether it be a form of stress relief or a fun hobby to do with friends, these classes are a great option.

I am making decisions all day at work. When I walk in the fitness class, I stop making decisions and shut my mind down, said Sue Polanka, a staff librarian and student of cycle sculpt, circuit training, water aerobics, barre blend and yoga. All I have to do is listen and follow the lead of the instructor. I spend much of my time in class with my eyes closed, especially in yoga where I focus on breathing, and in spinning, where I cycle to the beat of [the teachers] music and block out the rest of the world.

As a teacher of cycling, yoga, TRX, circuit and more, Donbrock loves doing what she does and the impact these classes have on students.

I have so much gratitude when I teach and watch other people grow in their fitness and make goals for themselves. [When] Im not teaching, every time I walk by the studio, I see people laughing and having fun; its such a good stress reliever. Were all so stressed out in life and this is such a healthy way to release it, said Donbrock.

Mindfulness goes beyond yoga classes and/or meditation. Taking care of yourself helps you be a better student.

Engaging in exercise, meditation or any kind of relaxing activity has the ability to reduce measures of anxiety. Anxiety is linked with depression. If you can engage in behaviors that make [you] feel less anxious, that can contribute to an overall mental well-being, said Dr. Patricia Schiml, research professor and senior lecturer in the Department of Psychology.

Depending on your comfort level, Dr. Schiml stresses the positive impact of social support.

If you experience stress with people around you that you can fall back on for support, the physiological impact of that stress is going to be reduced. If youre able to build on and strengthen your social relationships, that can provide benefits in of itself, said Schiml.

Schiml advises awareness toward the balance between lowering your stress and procrastinating. Using effective coping strategies means studying for half an hour, rewarding yourself by taking a break, then going back to studying and so on.

Along with the mental health benefits of these classes, Campus Recreation works to make this available to anyone interested. Instructors are willing to help and can accommodate to students with special needs. Through Adapted Recreation, students get matched with a workout buddy that can focus on them and their needs.

[We make sure] we are welcoming to people; were there to support each other, said Donbrock.

Mental health benefits of fitness classes - The Wright State Guardian

Getty Diverse females walking on beach after their exercise in Auckland, New Zealand.Its easy to take walking for granted as a form of exercise. After all, its how we move around in the world every day, so sometimes it's hard to believe itll knock off pounds or improve well-being. But research shows that walking is a surprisingly strong health and fitness strategy. Proof: one study found that a 12-week moderate-intensity walking program decreased belly fat and increased VO2max, a marker of your fitness level, in overweight and obese women. (How do you know if you're walking at a moderate intensity? Research says to aim for at least 100 steps per minute.)

Walking can even help prevent some serious diseases. Another recent study found that taking a quick five-minute walk break every thirty minutes throughout the day can improve metabolic health, lowering insulin and glucose levels, as well as reducing blood pressure. Another larger study proved that walking at a decent clip reduced participants risk of developing high blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels just as much as running. And to solidify the positive effects of walking, a meta-analysis found that the benefits of strolling outdoors with friends can carry over into mental health too, improving your quality of life and lowering risk of depression.

Its clear that our bodies were made to walk, but theres more than one way to get the most out of those daily steps. We spoke to three experts with different approaches to a rewarding stroll, so you can choose the right method for you. Whether youre time-pressed or want to ease into running, our experts have got you covered.

Kirsch, who has trained the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Kate Upton, believes even the fittest people can benefit from walking more. "From a purely physiological standpoint, walking raises your heart rate and burns calories,"he says. "But its also a great way to increase your mind-body connection, focus on your breath, spend time in nature, meditate, and de-stress."

David Kirsch's go-to walking workout:For beginners, its all about working up to 10,000 steps a day, says Kirsch. Thats the preset daily goal on most fitness trackers because its considered a good target for heart health and weight maintenance. But after youve mastered that, challenge yourself to hit 15,000 to 25,000 daily steps. "Ten thousand should become the bare minimum," he says. To amp up the intensity of your walks, try a hilly landscape or wear two- to three-pound ankle and hand weights. You can also incorporate some toning exercises every few minutes, like jumping jacks, walking lunges, squats, or squat jumps, suggests Kirsch. Adding these moves in intervalswill help you build muscle,improve heart health,and increase endurance."Walking is so good foryou," he says. "Its a greatstart and supplement toany wellness program."

"Walking is one of the best tools for weight maintenance," says Dr. Rothberg, director of the University of Michigans Weight Management Clinic. "Its aerobic, it engages some of the biggest muscles, and its feasible for most people."

Dr. Rothberg's go-to walking workout:To maintain a healthy weight, Dr. Rothberg recommends walking for at least 30 minutes five days a week. Some good news: You dont have to log a half hour all at once. "You can do your 30 minutes in 10-minute bouts throughout the day," she says, "and those add up." Plus, when you walk for shorter periods, you can generally go at a faster speed, which may be even better for you than walking slowly for 30 minutes straight, since more vigorous activities can help increase your overall fitness level. And even lower-intensity exercises like fast-paced walking can help burn some of the bodys stored fat. Walking in chunks of time can give you little boosts of confidence to keep you motivated, too. "Whether its parking farther away or walking to meet a colleague, you get a sense of accomplishment," she says. "Its these little successes that end up establishing good habits."

Galloway is the creatorof the Run Walk Runtraining method, whichhelps walkers and longtimerunners alike stay in shapeand prep for races. Addingrunning intervals to yourwalks can help you burnmore calories, and runninghas been shown to boostappetite-suppressinghormones, notes Galloway.Plus, easing into runninglike this allows you "to gofarther while feeling betterand avoiding injury," he says.

Jeff Galloway's go-to walking workout:To introduce faster segments into your walks, start by jogging for 5 to 10 seconds per minute for 10 minutes, gradually working your way up to 30 minutes. Once youve conquered that goal, begin adding longer periods of jogging until you can jog for 30 seconds per minute for 30 minutes. Eventually, you can build up to shorter walk breaksfor example, walking for 30 seconds and running for 60. This is an excellent way to train for a 5K or even longer race, says Galloway. (For regular runners looking to add in strategic walking breaks, Galloway suggests alternating 90 seconds of running and 30 seconds of walking if you run a 10-minute mile on average. If you average a 12-minute mile, try alternating 60 seconds of running and 30 seconds of walking.)

A fitness center could open in the former Ultra Foods store on Larkin Avenue later this year, a city official said.

Vasa Fitness has targeted late summer for an opening, said Derek Conley, economic development specialist with the city of Joliet.

The company has turned in plans for building permits at the site, Conley said. Staff is reviewing the plans now.

They include a swimming pool, basketball court and racquetball court along with fitness center equipment, Conley said.

Vasa Fitness has nearly 40 locations in several states.

The Joliet fitness center would use about 80 percent of the former Ultra Foods, which was among several stores in the Strack & Van Til supermarket chain that closed in 2017.

The location is part of the North Ridge Plaza, a shopping center at Larkin and Theodore Street.

What about fitness?

Biologists use the word fitness todescribe how good a particular genotype isat leaving offspring in the next generation relative to how goodother genotypes are at it. So if brown beetles consistently leavemore offspring than green beetles because of their color, you'd saythat the brown beetles had a higher fitness.

Of course, fitness is a relative thing. A genotype's fitness depends on theenvironment in which the organism lives. The fittest genotype during an iceage, for example, is probably not the fittest genotype once the ice age isover.

Fitness is a handy concept because it lumps everything that mattersto natural selection (survival, mate-finding, reproduction) into one idea.The fittest individual is not necessarily the strongest, fastest,or biggest. A genotype's fitness includes its ability to survive,find a mate, produce offspring and ultimately leaveits genes in the next generation.

It might be tempting to think of natural selection acting exclusivelyon survival ability but, as the concept of fitness shows, that'sonly half the story. When natural selection acts on mate-findingand reproductive behavior, biologists call it sexual selection.
