A Sportstyle Expo scheduled for Friday aims to give South Floridians a whole fitness experience.

From 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Broward County Convention Center, attendees can not only hear lectures and shop from local vendors, but they can also take part in everything from Pilates to endurance training to cycling. There will also be a custom sports-bra fitting salon, Tai Chi classes, acupuncture evaluations, chair massages and more.

I think its one of the most exciting events to hit this town, said Marilyn DeMartini, one of the event organizers. This show is one where people can come around and do things, not just walk around and collect brochures.

The expo is part of a three-day event, including a summit and trade show, produced by Formula4 Media. The goal of the expo, DeMartini said, is to help people find a workout routine to match their lifestyle.

Its really a participatory show. I think that the most important thing is knowing where your resources are in your community, she said. Were bringing a lot of players in the fitness world from Boca to Miami, so you can find your preferred fitness.

The convention center is at 1950 Eisenhower Blvd, Fort Lauderdale. General admission is $15. A full list of vendors and activities planned for the event can be found at SportStyleShow.com.

Taylor Giroux used to meet up with her family at restaurants to catch up. But now, they meet at the gym and catch up while working out.

Thats been a great alternative to sitting around and snacking, Giroux said.

Working out has been good for socializing, but it also got Giroux back on track toward a healthy lifestyle.

Q: When did you start working out and why?

A: I came to a couple free classes when (The Barre Code) first opened and again at the end of April. Ive been here ever since. It hooked me. Its a welcoming environment and they motivate you in what works best for you. It just makes you feel good and I wanted to get into a healthy lifestyle.

Q: Describe your workouts. How many days per week do you exercise?

A: The one thing I really love about the Barre is theres so many different opportunities and classes to take. I try to come to six or seven classes a week. Tonight we did two 50-minute classes back-to-back. Classes range from cardio and high intensity interval training to strength and stretching. The original Barre includes strength training and those little movements that really get you shaking.

Q: What has been your biggest accomplishment?

A: Being stronger. Im not as nervous coming here because Im like, OK. I can do this. The motivating staff and the friendly faces when you walk in the door have been awesome. Everyone in the gym is motivating you.

Q: What has been the toughest hurdle and how did you overcome it?

A: Staying consistent. What I like about this is, you sign up for (classes), and that holds you accountable. Im so thankful I have my family, too. That keeps me motivated to come. I have that accountability that Ive already signed up for the class.

Q: What helps you stay on track?

A: I got married last summer so I was really into fitness to get ready for the wedding. After the wedding, I got into married life and got off the fitness track. The Barre Code has motivated me to pick that fitness routine back up. I love how you feel better and your mood is changed.

Q: What is your gym pet peeve?

A: People who think theyre really, really good. I dont like when theyre too serious, because I like to have fun.

Q: What do you do when you arent in the gym?

A: I spend time with my husband, walk our new puppy, go shopping and all the girly things. I like being with family and friends.

Q: What is the piece of equipment, supplement, clothing, etc., that you cant live without?

A: I like the bright workout clothes and the fun socks that The Barre Code has. If you have something fun to wear, its motivating to get into the gym.

Q: What advice would you give to someone who is just starting their fitness journey?

A: Stick with it. Have fun. Try your best. Try all the different classes because theres one youll like.

Begin your workout by performing 20-25 jump squats. Hinge back at the hips and lower the body into a deep squat while keeping your body weight firmly planted in the heels. Swing your arms and explode up off the balls of your feet.

Then drop down on your hands for three sets of planks. Hold for 45-60 seconds. If this exercise is difficult on your wrists, rest your body weight on your forearms instead. Remember to keep your body straight, forming a line from your head to your heels.

Go explore the grounds with 30-45 minutes of cardio.

Freshen up your fitness routine with a change of scenery.

Lapse in concentration was a bigger contributor to Malaysia's last-minute defeat to Lebanon than poor fitness, says Harimau Malaya boss Nelo Vingada.

Although he agreed that lapse in concentration cost his side their 2019 Asian Cup qualification group match against Lebanon, Malaysia head coach Nelo Vingada rubbished the notion that the fasting month affected his men's fitness.

Many of the Malaysia players are currently fasting during the day, in observance of the Islamic month of Ramadan.

Speaking to the press after the 2-1 defeat at Larkin, he pointed out the fact that Lebanon; which is also a Muslim-majority country, also had players who are fasting.

"Of course, in the last 15 minutes our players were feeling it (fatigue). But Lebanon are also Muslims, I don't know how they did it.

"In the game, during both their goals, our team were organised and everyone was behind the ball, so it is not a question of fitness, it is because of concentration," he insisted.

However when asked by about his solution to the problem of concentration lapse, Vingada answered that he has no specific cure for the problem.

"This concentration problem sometimes (is caused by) cultural attitude. You told me it happens in Malaysian football. Two weeks ago Johor (Darul Ta'zim) lost in the last seconds (against Ceres-Negros FC in the AFC Cup)...

"There is no special formula, we have to create conditions where players can concentrate more.

"We talked about fitness, less fitness and preparations can also lead to reduced focus. When the players are tired they are distracted," explained the Asian Cup-winning coach.

But he was still happy with the performance in the match, his first game as the Harimau Malaya boss since his appointment last month, and sees a lot of potential in his charges.

"Football is made of these things, anything is possible. It was a hard and intense game. Of course I am not happy with the result, nobody can be, especially because we conceded (the match-deciding goal) in the last few seconds.

"But I'm happy with the way the players tried to fight and play... They gave everything they had, so they can hold their heads high. Even though we lost, we regained our worth and dignity for the national team.

"I believe we can do more, we can build from the defeat, and then gain qualification," vowed Vingada.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Four L.A. Fitness members have contracted Legionnaires' disease, a type of pneumonia, and it has been linked to two Orlando-area locations, according to the Florida Department of Health.

L.A. Fitness sent an email to members of its MetroWest and Hunters Creek locations Friday, stating the bacteria had been linked to the locations.

Although it has not been conclusively shown through testing, we want you to be aware of this possible association and provide you with some information about Legionnaires' disease so you are informed, the email says.

L.A. Fitness has not closed either location while testing is being donebut has limited access to the spa and showers.

The gym issued the following statement:

Although it has not been conclusively shown that the exposure took place at our facilities, the DOH has recommended we conduct testing and take certain measures to remediate the facilities. Also, out of extreme caution, we separately enlisted the services of Nalco Water, which provides expertise in water treatment and assistance in carrying out the recommendations of the DOH. We will continue to conduct further testing and work under the guidance of the DOH, who have all been extremely helpful.

The DOH says there has been a total of 17 confirmed cases of Legionnaires' disease in Orange County in 2017.

Legionnaires' disease spreads when people breathe small droplets of water infected with Legionella bacteria, according to theCenters for Disease Control and Prevention.

It is kind of scary because you come into the gym and you are exposed to a lot of stuff, said L.A. Fitness member Gary Perry.

L.A. Fitness said it was notified of the link Thursday.

A gym member said the shower heads were taken off Friday, but there were no signs to notify members about what was going on until the email.

This will soon be you, if you choose to do this while wearing a Gear VR (Virzoom bike, with PlayStation VR).

Fitness and VR may seem like an odd mix, but VR games can definitely motivate a fitness routine if you can avoid getting nauseous.

Virzoom made a fitness bike for hard-wired VR systems like the PlayStation VR and HTC Vive last year, but it was expensive, and required placement in front of your VR PC/console. That $399 bike now works with Samsung Gear VR, too, via an app that just launched. But it requires the Samsung Galaxy S8 or S8+, according to Virzoom.

The $99 VZ Sensor clips onto a regular bike. BYO bike.

The more exciting news is that Virzoom is also making a small, cheap, clip-on adapter for ordinary stationary bikes that works with Samsung's Gear VR, too, that arrives in October. It sounds like a far better proposition than buying an entire VR exercise bike, provided you already have an exercise bike.

The $99 VZ Sensor looks like a little fitness tracker. Strap it on a bike pedal, and it'll track cycling motion. Virzoom's Gear VR app which launches Tuesday has two arcade-like games, and with others arriving in the fall when the sensor launches. Stay tuned for some office mobile VR bike-testing soon, since we already have a Virzoom in our VR room.
