5 Tips to Stay Motivated in Your Fitness - Signals AZ

Fashion designer Michelle Smith and SoulCycle instructor Stacey Griffith are debuting their activewear line, Love & Sports, at Walmart. The line is designed to be fashion-forward, with vibrant colors and unique fabrics.

Walmart

Over the past two years, fashion designer Michelle Smith and SoulCycle instructor Stacey Griffith have touched dozens of fabrics, spitballed brand names and tried out samples of sports bras and leggings when lounging at home or sweating during workouts.

Now, the New York City-based couple is revealing their secret project: Love & Sports, an elevated activewear and swim brand that they are debuting with Walmart. The new brand hits the big-box retailer's website on Friday and is rolling out to 1,500 stores.

"I think some of our friends actually thought we were having a baby because we couldn't talk about something and said, 'We can't go. We have something to work on,'" Griffith said.

"I guess we kind of are having a baby," Smith said, with a laugh.

Smith co-founded high-end apparel brand Milly and designed the dress worn by Michelle Obama in her Smithsonian portrait. Now she has a newer, eponymous line of sleek items, from silk camisoles to alpaca coats, that can run as much as $2,750 apiece.

Meanwhile, Griffith has gained a fan-following as an indoor cycling teacher and gone on a motivational tour with Oprah Winfrey. The designer and fitness instructor met and later started dating thanks to a SoulCycle class.

The fashion-forward clothing collection is another sign of the retailer's efforts to shake up its reputation and become known as a place where shoppers can find stylish garments along with milk, bananas and TVs.

Walmart has launched a growing number of exclusive and elevated fashion names, including Sofia Jeans, a denim brand developed with actress Sofia Vergara; Eloquii Elements, a plus-sized women's brand inspired by acquired brand Eloquii; Scoop, a trend-forward womenswear brand; and Free Assembly, an apparel line of everyday wardrobe pieces for men, women and kids.

It has also tapped the star power of other fashion names, notably in the hiring of Brandon Maxwell who has dressed famous women including Lady Gaga as creative director of Scoop and Free Assembly.

Love & Sports will be sold on Walmart's website and in 1,500 stores. Its first collection includes 121 pieces that range in price from $12 to $42.

Walmart

Walmart, which still gets the majority of its annual revenue from the grocery business, does not break out apparel sales from other general merchandise, such as home decor and electronics.

Denise Incandela, executive vice president of apparel and private brands for Walmart U.S., said the retailer was drawn to Love & Sports' unique designs and bold colors. She said teaming up with Smith and Griffith created an opportunity to stand out in a category where high quality usually comes with a high price.

The idea for the new brand was born when Smith reached out to Incandela through a direct message on Instagram in the early months of the pandemic. Incandela, an alumna of Saks Fifth Avenue, knew Smith because the luxury chain carried her Milly clothing line.

Smith later shared some initial sketches that she had worked on for a few months. "It's just such a natural extension of Stacey and myself that it almost designed itself," she said. "It just flowed through onto paper."

Smith, who trained at elite fashion houses like Hermes and Louis Vuitton, said that she and Griffith were looking to make clothes that fit both budgets and bodies.

The brand's first collection includes 121 pieces that range in price from $12 to $42. It includes retro running shorts, cropped sweatshirts and seamless bras. It ranges in size from XS to XXXL for activewear and up to XXL for swimwear.

Items have details that blend street fashion and fitness, such as lots of pockets for cell phones, invisible zippers on the inside to secure credit cards and waistbands that can be worn high-waisted (Smith's preferred style) or rolled down for a low-waisted look (Griffith's preference).

Love & Sports will add footwear and accessories, including sneakers and handbags, in the fall.

Love & Sports is debuting with swimwear. In the fall, the line will include shoes and accessories.

Activewear has become a hotter, but more crowded, field during the pandemic. Sales in the men's and women's apparel category rose from $52.3 billion in 2019 to $70.8 billion in 2021, a 35% increase during the two-year period, according to The NPD Group. The market research group includes all apparel items with active features such as moisture-wicking fabric.

Kristen Classi-Zummo, an industry analyst who covers fashion apparel for The NPD Group, said some observers bet that as the pandemic receded, people would step out into the world dressed up again and eager to don formal attire like in the Roaring '20s.

Instead, she said, people have largely looked for comfortable and versatile pieces that fit into a hybrid way of life, such as pants with enough stretch to allow a quick walk around the block between virtual meetings or a longer sports bra that can pair with workout leggings as well as jeans and heels.

As the category has boomed, however, so has the number of brands vying for market share. The number of activewear brands has climbed from 1,600 in 2014 to 2,400 in 2021, according to NPD. That field includes players from Lululemon and Nike to private labels launched by the likes of Target, Kohl's and Dick's Sporting Goods.

Classi-Zummo expects activewear to remain popular this year and beyond, but have a slower growth rate than the double-digits in 2021 and that, she said, will heighten competition for consumers.

"We still anticipate it will grow, but what is a brand to do in a marketplace that's seeing less growth and a lot more competition?" she said. "She's been buying activewear for years. She doesn't need another pair of black leggings. What special features, what new fit, new fabric can you offer to keep her or him interested in the category?"

Griffith said Love & Sports was inspired, in part, by a pandemic-related shift to "an era of yummy fabrics."

She said she's already secretly sported the brand in SoulCycle classes, but hid sports bras beneath tops and worn pairs of shorts without a logo. Now, though, she's looking forward to her big reveal.

Axie Infinity was a pioneer of the play-to-earn movement and the project inspired new Web3 applications that aspire to apply the earning model to their respective ecosystems.

The latest project to join the move-to-earn movement is STEPN, a Solana-based Web3 application where owners of the NFT sneakers earn as they walk.

STEPN has programmed a few factors that determine just how much a person can make with its sneakers and the Green Satoshi Token (GST) is STEPNs in-game token that currently trades for $7.30. Over the last 30-days the token has surged over 77%, but is it sustainable?

Whats interesting about the move-to-earn phenomenon is that its essentially a form of P2E since it gamified fitness through a digital asset (the sneaker). Regardless of how one slices it, NFT holders must engage in the application mechanics to receive the reward.

While STEPN might be racking up some serious profits for investors now, there are already a growing number of competitors emerging and new earning models could soon make it nothing more than a passing fad. Play-to-earn was all the rage in 2021 but now that movement is a mere shadow of its former self. This should lead investors to question the sustainability of the move-to-earn trend.

Incentivizing behavior is not a novel concept, especially in the health and fitness space. In fact, SweatCoin, a project founded in 2018, was one of the first applications that would pay its users digital currency to exercise.

There are other crypto fitness applications such as Dotmoovs, Calo and Step, each with their respective in-app reward tokens. This means that STEPN isnt pioneering the movement, but it could be revitalizing it.

The project is currently in beta with new users requiring a code to participate. In branding and packaging move-to-earn, STEPN gained popularity among crypto and NFT pundits and had a parabolic spike in upward growth. Cumulatively, STEPN has amassed over 200,000 users over its lifetime with consistent volume. In the last 7 days over 32,800 new sneakers have been minted.

On average, a STEPN sneaker can earn a user up to $20 per day, while a premium tier sneaker can make users hundreds of dollars at the current price of GST.

Similar to Axie Infinity, users must first put in an initial capital investment to begin earning rewards. There were 99,999 NFT sneakers available for mint, but just like Axie Infinity, users can breed their sneakers during sneaker minting events (SME).

Currently on Magic Eden, a secondary marketplace, the cheapest STEPN sneaker is on sale for 16.56 SOL ($1,628) and the most expensive is 300 SOL ($29,493).

There are a range of sneaker types, along with tiers of attributes and levels a sneaker acquires that impact how much it can yield.

The durability of cellular signal and the strength of a user's global positioning system (GPS) plays an integral role in earning. If either GPS or signal is choppy, there is no guarantee that data is being recorded, and STEPN relies on knowing the distance a person has covered to earn rewards.

STEPN is currently in beta with new users requiring a code to participate. By branding and packaging move-to-earn, it has gained popularity among crypto and NFT pundits and had a spike in upward growth.

Cumulatively, STEPN has amassed over 223,500 users and it currently dominates the move-to-earn landscape in total market capitalization. Its governance token, Green Metaverse Token (GMT), is over 20xs that of all other movement economy tokens combined making it a desirable bet.

STEPN is not alone in the move-to-earn race, and recently Step App, a dapp on Avalanche blockchain, emerged as a competitor aiming to tap into the $100 billion fitness industry.

Step App has multiple token emissions with FITFI, a governance token and KCAL the in-game token being earned. However, the risk in token emission of any kind is that it becomes a vacuum for value extraction. To mitigate the possibility of inflation, Step App will integrate token sinks into its tokenomics and burning mechanisms will indefinitely remove tokens from circulation.

Unlike STEPN and Sweat Coin, Step App will build a software development kit that provides others with tools to build within its Metaverse. In this way, it is more Web3 native and can potentially mitigate bottlenecks that impede the product's overall scalability.

Its still uncertain how these move-to-earn applications will combat saturation, and how well their token mechanics can sustain a healthy price point once these applications are servicing millions of users. Theres also the risk of a potential drop off in active users since maintaining exercise regimes is stronger from habit-building and intrinsic motivations rather than external rewards.

Since most of these move-to-earn applications require capital upfront, users should stay aware of the price action, volatility, growth and saturation of the movement economy and the levels of activity required to break even or profit.

Turning physical activity to profit could become increasingly difficult if the move-to-earn ecosystem develops and gains more popularity. Since more users are looking to turn their physical activity to cash, this impacts the token price and can increase the price of entry. As such, these applications are working to tackle the manipulation of fraudulent inputs of exercise as an exploit for maximal earnings.

In theory, move-to-earn applications are well intended in centering health and wellness. However, the success of these models stem from incentivizing, and in effect, attempting to influence behavior to form habits.

Studies show that habits are sustained more readily through personal intrinsic motivations (which are hard to quantify) rather than external rewards.Therefore, there are fundamental factors to consider when investing in the move-to-earn movement for the long-term.

In a Feb. 7 email from Officer in Charge Dr. Mary C. Toale, SUNY Oswego announced that they would not be charging students to use the on campus fitness centers. The removal of the fee would last through the rest of the spring semester.

We are thrilled to announce students no membership fee access to SUNY Oswegos fitness centers for spring 2022 as the first use of the HEERF (Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund) Mental Health and Wellness funds, the email stated.

Two months later, the Fitness Center sent out an email to students that had used their facilities during the free spring semester, linking a survey to determine the impact the funding had. It is important that they gather this data in order to understand the impact that having the fitness centers free for use has on the mental and physical health of students.

In the Feb. 25 issue of the Oswegonian, I called into question why the move for free gym memberships was not made sooner. After the negative financial impacts COVID-19 caused, man students lost income and a way to pay for nonessentials.

While it is understanable that the fitness centers may not be considered completelty essential to living, it would be ignorant ot ignore the numerous benefits having a space to exercise has on both mental and physical health. The fitness centers on campus are generally regarded as having more than adequate resources, machines and support. They place emphasis on creating a community through various group classess, challenges and events, all of which gve students an opportunity to meet new, like-minded people in a positive setting. Something that may otherwise be difficult for students to do in the collegiate setting.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that students who are physically active are more likely to have better grades, school attendance, memory and classroom behavior. Additional studies confirmed that the higher the physical activity and physical fitness levels are, the better cognitive performance will be. Not only does offering the gyms as a resource keep students more phsyically fit, it has the potential to improve class structure and students potential.

SUNY Oswego made a fantastic decision in allowing students free access to these facilities. Students who may not have been able to afford the previous fees now have access to a healthy outlet on campus.

The survey sent out is going to help determine whether thisresource will cotinue to be readily available to students. For the sake of mental, physical and community health. It is necessary for many students to feel as though they have a release from the everyday stresses of college life and for many that place is the fitness center. Now that it has been offered fro fre, I thik students may be hard pressed to want to pay the $65 fee for access.

The HEERF would be well spent on the SUNY Oswego fitness centers and would offer students a space to improve their overall well being.

With the arrival of summer season, there are multiple motivations that inspire people to sweat it out and shed that flab. Experts say that people are more driven to lose inches in summer season as unlike winter when flab can be hidden in layers of woollens, summers are all about beaches and pool parties which requires one to look their best. Exercising in summer season however comes with its own set of rules, especially when one is looking at outdoor workouts. From choosing the right workout gear, snack, knowing when to hydrate to listening to your body is important while exercising during summer season. (Also read: Expert offers summer fitness and workout tips to shed kilos)

Exercise has loads of health benefits and research says it reduces chance of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. It is also good for your brain and a study done at the University of British Columbia found that regular aerobic exercise boosts the size of the hippocampus, the area of the brain involved in learning and verbal memory.

Fitness expert Mukul Nagpaul, Fit India Movement Ambassador and Founder of Pmftraining on dos and don'ts one should keep in mind while exercising in summer season:

Choose the Right apparel

Look for dry fit clothes as they have the ability to dry very quickly which is very helpful while sweating as generally cotton is preferred by a lot of people in summers but cotton is good for casual clothing but not for exercising as cotton absorbs sweat and gets heavy which can be quite uncomfortable

Hydrate properly

Our bodies are 50-70% water and in summers we need more water to keep the body functioning properly so you need to aim for at least 2-3 litres of water and in you will require more water, depending upon your activity levels and in case you sweat more than you will require more water.

- Don't wait until you are thirsty as this is a sign that you are already dehydrated which will impact your performance in your workouts.

- Dont forget to drink more water in the hours following your workout. This will help you to avoid some of the more serious effects of dehydration like nausea, vomiting and kidney failure, not to mention that youll feel much healthier and more energized.

Listen to your Body

Getting in tune with your body may be the most important of these fitness tips. It's very easy to get carried away if you are playing a sport or during a competition so in case you show any signs of dizziness, extreme thirst, nausea, cramps or dry mouth etc. then immediately stop the activity and look for a cool spot to relax and drink a sports drink. Once you feel better then try to rest or slowly start with the activity but make sure to listen to your body

Don't stay out in the sun for prolonged periods

During summers, the suns heat is very intense which can take a toll on your body. It's important to avoid being in the sun from 10 am to 3 pm as sun is the strongest at that time. If at all possible, avoid exercising in direct sunlight. Staying in the shade keeps you cooler and may enable you to complete a more intense workout despite the heat.

Similarly, it may make sense to reserve outdoor workouts for early mornings when temperatures tend to be cooler. This puts you at less risk for heat exhaustion, sun stroke and dehydration.

Don't eat protein before workouts

Lean protein is a great source of energy, but it may not be your best bet before a workout in the heat. Science has shown that eating protein before exercising causes a rise in basal temperature. This means that youll feel even hotter if you load up on protein and then exercise in the warmer summer temperatures.

Indulge in protein after your exercise session because this will help you rebuild muscle tissue. Before and during your workout, focus on keeping your temperature lower by drinking water or a slushie made from ice and a sports drink. Researchers have discovered that a lower core body temperature often correlates with improved performance in athletes.

It is a lesser known fact that overweight men have significantly lower sperm counts than men of normal weight but male reproductive health is rarely discussed in India or anywhere in the globe and even when infertility is recognised, it is met with disappointment and humiliation since the capacity to reproduce is assumed. Men's overall health influences fertility and sperm quality is a crucial element of a male fertility but its not the only factor.

The reproductive health of women is often discussed frequently but men often fail to know how to take care of their reproductive health. As there are misconceptions related to this topic, we got a doctor on board to share some fitness tips for millennial men to take care of their reproductive health.

In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Surabhi Siddhartha, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist at Motherhood Hospital in Kharghar, shared, Nowadays, one is unable to concentrate on reproductive health owing to stress, an erratic lifestyle and a lack of physical activity. Thus, poor reproductive health can be a matter of concern for millennial men. There are many reproductive health challenges when it comes to men. They may have problems such as low sexual desire, ejaculation disorders, erectile dysfunction, genital ulcers, sexually transmitted diseases (STIs), testicular disorders, prostate cancer, and infertility owing to which marital conflict can emerge.

He added, Stress has a direct effect on the mental, emotional and physical health of men. It may decrease testosterone levels and sperm production, such as glucocorticoids. Poor diet and no physical activity can impact male reproductive health too. Alcohol, tobacco and smoking cause fertility complications in males. Tobacco has been tied to low sperm count as it affects spermatogenesis. Other factors such as environmental pollution, diabetes, hypertension and obesity can also lead to low sperm count and infertility.

Tips for millennial men to take care of their reproductive health:

Dr Surabhi Siddhartha listed 5 tips on men should take care of their reproductive health. These include:

1. Regular STIs screening: There should be enough amount of awareness among men regarding sexually transmitted diseases like HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), Syphilis, Chlamydia and Herpes. Till now there is no vaccine for them, prevention is the only key to protection regarding these diseases. The use of contraceptives should also be promoted. You will have to follow the doctors instructions when it comes to screening.

2. Quit smoking: Smoking can impact sperm quality. So, do not smoke.

3. Try to maintain good personal hygiene: You must avoid using any chemical products down there. Try to wear undergarments of a good breathable fabric like cotton and make sure that it is not tight.

4. Eat a well-balanced diet: You need to opt for a diet inclusive of all the vital nutrients. Try to eat eggs as they contain protein and vitamin E, improve sperm motility and sperm count and protect them from oxidative stress. Go for berries as they contain antioxidants and can help one to have a good sperm count. Spinach encourages sperm production. Walnuts contain omega-3 fatty acids and tend to improve the motility of your sperms. Avoid junk, packaged and canned foods as they can be problematic.

5. Regular exercise: This can help to increase the sperm count. Try to exercise for at least 5 days a week for half an hour. You can opt for swimming, cycling, gymming, Yoga, aerobics or running. De-stress by doing meditation.

5 fitness tips for millennial men to take care of their reproductive health - Hindustan Times

Two-time world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury recently announced his retirement following a win against Dillian Whyte at London's Wembley Stadium. While this move will likely see him taking a different approach to training, we wonder if the boxer will be cutting back on his seven-times-a-day masturbation habit he claims was crucial to his success in the ring.

The boxer talked candidly about his self-pleasure habits, likening it to part of his health and training routine, much like one would embrace a clean diet or leg day. In previous interviews, he mentioned he's willing to try anything that would give him an edge and credits his unique approach for keeping his testosterone pumping.

But does masturbating seven times a day actually give you an edge against your opponents? The number alone might prove to be challenging for some- not everyone has the luxury to devote this much time to pleasure-seeking in one day. We dig deeper and speak to three sexual health experts to determine if masturbation and ejaculation will help make you a better athlete.

#How much masturbation is too much?#Can masturbation boost testosterone levels?#Should I masturbate before doing sports or working out?#Will I see a boost in fitness if I masturbate seven times a day?

According to a 2021 study on male masturbation habits by male sex toy maker Arcwave, 57 per cent of 14,000 males across 17 countries revealed they masturbate at least once a week. This ranges depending on region, with Hongkongers reporting an average of 3.19 times a week while Australian men surveyed do it four times a week.

Finding a balance and masturbating the 'right amount', according to clinical psychologist and sex therapist Dr Christopher Ryan Jones, varies from man to man. "If they are able to keep up with work or school, manage their relationships and responsibilities, [they can] masturbate as much as they like."

Frequency should align with your lifestyle, and it comes down to personal preference at the end of the day. "For some people that may be masturbating seven times a day, for others, it may be less, for others, it may be more, and for some, they may not masturbate every day. And all of those are okay amounts," says Jones.

There's no doubt a link between sex and testosterone level in men. According to Australian male sex expert Cam Fraser, how much one affects the other, and their correlation is still blurry. "While there is a link between masturbation frequency and testosterone, it is as yet unclear in which direction this correlation occurs. It may not necessarily be that frequent masturbation increases testosterone but that someone with already high levels of testosterone has a higher libido and thus masturbates more frequently."

This testosterone boost post-self pleasure, however, is likely short-lived. "Masturbation increases testosterone at the moment of sexual stimulation. So does the mere act of becoming aroused, but it drops back down to average levels immediately after ejaculation." says sexologist and sex coach Sergio Fosela.

Myriad factors such as a healthy diet, foods rich in zinc, weight loss, strength and high-intensity training, and active sexual life, he says, also contribute to testosterone levels.

While he notes no hard scientific evidence points to masturbation's impact on athletic performance, Fosela says it plays a vital role for athletes, and frequency depends on the type of sports you do.

Fosela says one should adapt their masturbation approach to the type of sports they engage in. High impact sports like boxing require a spike in testosterone, while athletes who rely more heavily on their mental strength should focus on boosting endorphins and serotonin.

He suggests those who engage in high impact sports increase the frequency of masturbation a week prior and abstain until game day to take advantage of a testosterone peak.

"But in other sports where concentration is essential, masturbating a few hours before can provide a more immediate release of endorphins and serotonin essential to keep the mind relaxed."

However, Fraser says it's a personal choice when it comes down to it. "Some athletes report that they don't masturbate or have sex before a match because they believe it makes them tired or sluggish. Other athletes report that they do have sex or masturbate before a match because it makes them feel relaxed and refreshed."

It sounds simple enough, however taxing it might seem, but is frequent masturbation really the answer to overall enhanced physical performance? Jones echoes Fosela's sentiments on its questionable effects and warns against getting your hopes up. "If someone hears this and thinks, 'wow, if I masturbate seven times a day, I can fight like Tyson Fury' sorry, but it's just not going to happen. However, if we think about masturbation as part of an overall wellness routine, masturbation is definitely very beneficial and is something that I often recommend to clients."

Mayweather Boxing + Fitness hosted the grand opening of their newest location in Tukwila on April 16. Community members gathered to witness history, as the store became the 50th location in the U.S. The event featured remarks from various stakeholders involved with the development, including Seattle Southside Chamber of Commerces President/CEO Andrea Reay and studio manager Jennifer Young. A debut song titled My Own was sung by local artist Flourish followed by a ribbon-cutting.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is an American boxer and promoter known for his combination of speed, power, and technical skill. He holds an undefeated record of 50 wins. However, Mayweathers legacy is questionable at best due to his history of domestic violence.

Mayweather Boxing + Fitness offers a variety of classes and studio offerings for people of all boxing levels and advertises an inclusive, high-intensity fitness experience.

As reported in the Emerald last July, boxing has become increasingly popular and more accessible in the South End. Earlier this month, the Emerald also covered the first annual memorial boxing showcase in honor of Willie Briscoray, or Coach Bumblebee, who mentored young fighters to help benefit local nonprofit Treehouse.

Editors Note: This article was updated on 04/27/2022 to acknowledge Mayweathers history of domestic abuse. The Emerald apologizes for any harm this oversight may have caused.

A Shropshire mum who moved her fitness coaching online in lockdown to meet the needs of people at home has moved to permanent online training with the launch of a new website.

Gemma Gibbons, a qualified personal trainer, is passionate about fitness and when COVID-19 hit she immediately began zoom sessions to ensure people could still access exercise classes.

The online classes have continued to grow and this month a new website was launched as a digital resource for people battling the work/life balance while trying to stay healthy.

She said: As a working mother, I know the constraints people face so I put together this programme to meet the needs of a holistic fitness plan that will fit into any schedule.

I wanted to provide a fitness programme that focuses on optimal movement, being strong and feeling good and I didnt want people who were unable to attend physical classes to face barriers to fitness.

The new website http://www.gemsfitnesspt.co.uk offers four live real-time workouts a week, which are then saved for playback and catch up anytime to suit your lifestyle.

There is also nutritional support, information and recipes available for members and people can log in anywhere and anytime with minimal space, so everyone can fit exercise into their day.

As well as offering flexible and accessible classes I want to help people who struggle with motivation or are bored of always doing the same routines, adds Gemma.

The clients I work with at the moment are all working various hours in various job roles with families or other commitments that mean without the online classes they just wouldnt be able to work on their health and fitness.

I want to look after my own body and achieve healthy living for myself and my family and I want to help as many other people as possible to do this too.

As well as the online resource, Gemma continues to carry out personal training sessions for those who find digital training is not for them as she is able to take equipment to the clients own homes.
