Charles Melton’s fitness diary: HIIT classes with KJ Apa and subsisting on barley water and kimchi – British GQ

High-intensity workouts, fascial stretching, powerlifting. In the winter we focused on bulking up, gaining mass. Running 20 miles a day, carrying 20 pounds of football pads on you. Even if you eat healthy for a year and regularly work out, it wont prepare you for football shape. I didnt know how far past my limits I could be pushed, by my teammates who were around me, all going through the same thing.

I got the nickname Kamikaze because I played with reckless abandon. I would knock players who were 50-60 pounds heavier than me to the side. If there was a time machine, I would go back and do it all over, but I would tell the person sending me back to erase my memory of the training because I would probably say no.

In my industry there are loads of things you cant control - Im not working every single day. Sometimes I need to get out of my head about things that dont matter, so I go to a class I have no control over and the instructors tell me what to do. I go to Hype LA, its a silent disco, everyone has headphones, Im with people who are trying their best.

Sometimes I book a HIIT class 20 minutes before it begins, because the longer I think about it, the more likely Im not going to do it.

Nowadays I work out with my friends and we motivate each other. KJ Apa (co-star on Riverdale) likes high intensity, 30 minutes - no chilling and out. When I train with Miles Chamley Watson, Olympian and fencing world champion, we have different body types, so we switch things up to keep the body guessing. Burpees I dont like them but Ill do them. Ill run six miles a week - spread out or all at once. 6.5mph at a 2.0 incline."

I drink barley water and eat kimchi all the time. Kimchi is Korean fermented cabbage. I eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You can eat it with everything, eggs, tacos. I usually buy it off the shelf, but my family just came to visit me for Thanksgiving armed with jars of kimchi. Kimchi is great fresh, but its delicious grilled too with samgyupsal [grilled pork belly] and galbi [beef short ribs].

Ive just finished three months of not eating any red meat, after I spoke to a nutritionist. The plan he put me on has been life-changing and improved my relationship with food. It sounds like it could be tedious but I take pictures of everything I eat, creating a food diary on my phone. I have yet to have any KBBQ, but when I do it has to be the best red meat.

I like to use Korean skincare [products]. My mum taught me all about the skincare steps: hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Facial cleanser for 10-15 seconds, put on milk honey moisturiser. No SPF, although I should probably start doing that...

When I was in high school I was supposed to take medicine for acne but Mum insisted on treating me herself. She put a bag over my head to steam my skin with water vapour to open up the pores. Mum put on the milk honey and had this skin vacuum cleaner to pop my zits. No need to book a facial when shes around.

How Would You Fare on the U.S. Army’s Newly Revamped Fitness Test? – InsideHook

The U.S. Armys traditional APFT (physical fitness test) involved a lot of twos.

Soldiers would perform sit-ups for two minutes, push-ups for two minutes, then run two miles. An exceptional score generally includes some combination of 100-plus sit-ups, 100-plus push-ups and then two miles in under 12 minutes. Rep-heavy strength training and a long-distance time trial thats a rather disproportionate reliance on endurance. But for years the practice went unquestioned.

Not anymore. For the first time in four decades, after three years of tinkering, the U.S. Army is set to unveil a new test. It will debut in spring of next year, according to Bloomberg, and it will shift the focus away from endurance alone, towards strength, coordination and agility.

The new test calls for:

Its called the Combat Fitness Test, as opposed to the Physical Fitness Test, and that distinction is important. Since 2019, military officials have wanted an assessment that actually prepares soldiers for the various body movements theyll need to perform in training or while out in the field.

Crunches, conventional push-ups and running in a straight line are great fitness fodder for the average Joe, but a G.I. Joe needs to carry heavy loads on his back, knock down doors, lift up injured personnel, throw supplies onto helicopters, leap laterally to avoid enemy fire or shrapnel, jump over obstacles and climb rope.

All of those moves necessitate functional, full-body strength. If it sounds surprising that the wave of sustainable bodybuilding thats long since swept pro sports leagues, mixed martial arts and even the realm of professional musicians is just arriving at the standardized level in our armed forces, well, keep in mind that over half of American soldiers were injured in 2019. This despite the fact that only one in 10 soldiers actually see combat.

Bottom line: American soldiers need to be better prepared for the rigors of their profession, whether theyre shipped overseas or not. Earlier this year, in a sign that the armed forces are starting to take the health of their service members more seriously, the U.S. Army signed a contract with biometric performance company WHOOP.

Considering that the U.S. Army spends about $2 billion a day on the research and procurement of technological weapons (some of which, mind you are literally heavier for soldiers to carry around in combat), its gratifying that military officials have started to spend a bit more money (and time), thinking about the human side of the operation. It isnt just injuries, after all. Two massive issues plaguing American civilians at an alarming rate obesity and depression have also swept through the military. Attention to holistic health is a step in the right direction.

As for the test, there are some early concerns that it could put women at a disadvantage: women have failed it at a 90% rate so far. So dont be surprised if its amended to include gender-specific percentile groupings in the near future. But for now, the marching orders are pretty clear. Check out the minimum requirements for each portion of the test here, alongside helpful tutorials explaining A) how to perform the move and B) exactly what its doing for the body.

Below, check out retired American middle-distance Olympian Nick Symmonds try out the full test with a group of service members.

Former 49ers linebacker and Bruceton native Patrick Willis dedicates new fitness zone in hometown – The Jackson Sun

The town of Bruceton celebrated the return of a hometown hero and the dedication of a new fitness zone last weekas former San Francisco 49ers linebacker and Bruceton native Patrick Willis launched his new charity.

Excited residents, curious onlookers and childhood friends of Willis gathered at the Bruceton Memorial Park as Bruceton Mayor Robert Keeton III snapped the ceremonial scissors with Willis, opening the wide array of athletic equipment to the public.

The event marked the debut of Willis The Whinkers Mind Youth Fund, a philanthropic organization working to bring accessible physical fitness to all youth.

Patrick is being inducted into the 49ers Hall of Fame in two weeks, and in honor of his induction, he wanted to thank those who had been a part of his growing up, said Joanne Pasternack, president and CEO of Oliver Rose, a philanthropic consultancy group that has been working with Willis on the project. So hes launching his Patrick Willis Youth Fundthe Whinkers Mind Youth Fund, and to launch it he wanted to give back to Bruceton.

Willis funded the wide array of all-weather, low impact and widely accessible fitness equipment, as well as donated equipment to his former high school.

Its all weather and all access, so no matter what your abilities or your challenges are, you can use this. That was really important to Patrickhe has a sister with special needs, and he wanted to make sure that everyone could really come in and use this, Pasternack said. Its also good for the elderlyits not far from the senior center, and that was done deliberately because we wanted this to be a fitness zone that was for kids and elderly alike.

Willis demonstrated a few of the exercises as Pasternack spoke, even going as far as to use the equipment with Harlon Butler, the 9-year-old son on Carroll County Mayor Joseph Butler.

It uses your own body weight to operate, so its not causing any strain on muscles, she said. So even if youre new to working out, you can use it. It has a tremendous life spanit wont need any maintenance for years and years and years.

Willis agreed.

Its free weights, so theres not weightsits just to get (residents) out here moving, he said. You dont have to be an athlete to get out here and use the machines. It can be used by anyone, old and young.

For Willis, the opportunity to give back has always been the goal.

I feel like its the right thing to toto invest in my community, he said. But most importantly, it was one of those things I always wanted to do. And my circumstances presented what they did, and I was very fortunate to be able to have some great friends in the community to help me get where I am.

To be able to give back to the community and where I come fromit means a lot. You know, dont forget where you come from. I told myself one day, if I ever make it, I want to be able to do this. And I was fortunate to get where I was able to get too, and now we have this.

Keeton expressed pride in how far Willis has comeand that he came back.

Patrick means a whole lot to this town, he said. Everybody has supported him since he was in high school, tremendous athlete that he was. He converted a lot of people to Ole Miss fans when he played for them, and 49ers when he went there. Hes well liked, and well respected, and its just a wonderful thing that hes done for us.

Although Willis still lives in California, he hopes that the kickoff of his new charity will help give back to Bruceton, even when hes not here.

Theres no place like home, he smiled. Home is where the heart is and Bruceton has my heart. Being able to come back and give backand not just give back anything, but give back something that everyone can use from young to old, it means a lot.

Its about legacy. We all start from somewhere, and we go through the process and the journey and we learn. We learn a lot. And Im a firm believer that with all you learn, if you dont give back and share and do things that can inspire other to go out and reach their fullest potential, why did you learn it? One day Ill end, but what I leave behind will hopefully continue to inspire. So I hope this will be one of those things.

NxGEN sires excel in health, wellness and fitness – Hoard’s Dairyman

The information below has been supplied by dairy marketers and other industry organizations. It has not been edited, verified or endorsed by Hoards Dairyman. Select Sires offers early access to the industrys most elite genetics through the NxGEN program. These sires hail from the best pedigrees and boast powerful health, wellness and fitness traits to create the next generation of profitable cattle. Following the December sire summaries, the breeds No. 1 available Net Merit sire, 7HO15821 FROST BITE (+1,191 NM$), joined the NxGEN lineup. The most recent portfolio includes 11 sires that average +2930 GTPI, +982 NM$, +995 Cheese Merit (CM$) and +991 Herd Health Profit Dollars (HHP$).

As dairies double-down on genetics, they are more critical of the females selected to produce replacements. This strategy, combined with an intense focus on sire selection, is expected to move the dial on genetic advancement, said Lyle Kruse, vice president of U.S. market development at Select Sires Inc. A more aggressive approach to sire selection will deliver returns on your investment and this lineup of NxGEN sires provides dairies with the most competitive genetic advantage.

New addition FROST BITE (+3013 GTPI) offers a unique pedigree: 7HO15097 GRANADA x 7HO14454 LIONEL x 7HO12897 SAMURI. His NM$ leadership combines with phenomenal health and wellness (+1,090 HHP$, +1,221 Dairy Wellness Profit Index, +133 Wellness Trait Index) plus outstanding production (+1,531 Milk, +164 Combined Fat and Protein) and A2A2 Beta-Casein.

Overall, the current lineup equips herds with the genetic power to combat the dairy industrys most common ailments and culling risks. Seven of the sires are more than +1,000 on Select Sires new HHP$ index. HHP$ places strong emphasis on health traits, particularly mastitis resistance. When compared to TPI and NM$, mastitis resistance and Somatic Cell Score (SCS) PTAs represent only 5 percent of the formula whereas these traits receive a relative emphasis of 19 percent in Select Sires HHP$ formula. Sires 7HO15583 KASHTON (+1,103), FROST BITE (+1,090), 7HO15167 GAMEDAY (+1,082) and 250HO15662 RIX (+1,055) rank as the top four sires for this innovative index.

In addition to HHP$, Select Sires also uses the green Mastitis ResistantPRO designation to identify sires that possess traits necessary to combat costly mastitis cases. Eight of the NxGEN sires qualify for the Mastitis ResistantPRO designation, including KASHTON, GAMEDAY, RIX and 14HO15582 MASHAK.

All NxGEN sires are available in Select Sires high-quality gender SELECTED SexedULTRA semen to create your next generation of healthy and profitable herd replacements.

Fitness Facts: What to do for a cold or the flu – GCU Today

By Connie ColbertGCU Director of Health Services

So you are sick with a cold or the flu. Now what?

Here are some self-care tips to manage your symptoms and put you on the road to recovery.

Connie Colbert

Flu symptoms can make you feel terrible. But if you are otherwise healthy, younger than age 65 and not pregnant, you generally can take care of yourself at home rather than going to your doctor.

Try these remedies:

To avoid infecting other people, stay home from work, school and other public places for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone without the use of fever-reducing medications. Most people feel better within a week of becoming infected with the flu virus. However, coughing may last for another one or two weeks.

Also, know when to call the doctor!

Call 911 or seek emergency help for trouble breathing or increased shortness of breath, confusion, sudden dizziness, stiff neck chest pain, seizure, extreme fussiness in a baby or trouble waking a baby.

Dont ask for antibiotics. They work only against infections caused by bacteria. The flu is aviral infection.

Withings ScanWatch Review: An Elegant Health and Fitness-Tracking Wearable – WIRED

I have tested countless smartwatches and fitness trackers, and many of them impressed me at first blush. But few claimed a spot on my wrist after the review was done. All eventually lay discarded on the nightstand after I forgot to charge them. Most smartwatches tout features I have little use for, and fitness trackers often look incongruous outside the gym.

The Withings ScanWatch is different. This hybrid smartwatch has a very particular set of skills: It passes easily for an analog watch; it tracks my activity, workouts, and sleep; it keeps an unblinking eye on my health; and it offers basic notifications from my phone. It can also go a whole month between charges.

Understated Elegance

The sapphire glass and stainless steel construction of the timepiece make for a sophisticated pairing that conveys quality. The Withings ScanWatch looks like a traditional watch, with chrome-covered hour and minute hands. The circular face has two smaller dials inside. The bottom dial has a single red analog hand that shows your progress toward your fitness goals for the day, which is measured as a percentage between zero and 100. The top dial isn't actually a dial at all. Press the rotating crown on the side of the ScanWatch and the minute and hour hands sweep aside as a tiny passive matrix OLED display comes to life to show you the digital time and date. Give the crown a spin to see different bits of data appear on that tiny screen: your heart rate, step count, distance covered, and floors climbed.

Switching from an Apple Watch, I found the 42-mm Withings ScanWatch heavy at first. It has chunky lugs (the 38-mm model has a much daintier design), but it is a comfortable timepiece to wear, with a generous black fluoroelastomer wristband that has proven durable and less apt to pick up lint than the silicone bands Ive worn before. The ScanWatch looks and feels precise. The classic design blends in with any setting or outfit, so I rarely feel the need to take it off when I dress up or down.

Distilled and Accessible

Stripped of superfluous smartwatch features, the Withings ScanWatch focuses firmly on fitness and health. Theres no NFC for mobile payments, no microphone or speaker for calls or voice assistants, and no support for music playback. You can turn on incoming notifications from your phone, but I recommend setting them to calls only, as the display is too small for other notifications. By the time a ticker-tape text message unfurls, you could have easily slipped the phone from your pocket, read the notification, and put it away again.

Its rare for me to use a device for nine months before reviewing it, but the American release of the Withings ScanWatch was delayed while the manufacturer sought clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration for its ability to detect atrial fibrillation through the built-in electrocardiogram sensor, and to measure blood oxygen levels with the SpO2 sensor. Both the Apple Watch 7 and Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 offer similar functionality, but only the Withings ScanWatch has FDA clearance on the blood oxygen monitoring.

Manchester United handed fitness boost as Cavani, Varane and Lingard return to training – The Athletic

Manchester United trio Edinson Cavani, Raphael Varane and Jesse Lingard have all returned to training ahead of the clubs Champions League match against Young Boys although the trio are not expected to feature on Wednesday night.

United currently sit first in Champions League Group F, with their win over Villarreal last time out booking their place in the knockout stages and making sure of top spot.

Speaking on Tuesday, interim manager Ralf Rangnick said: They (Cavani and Varane) cannot play tomorrow but they were part of training today. Edi even yesterday, Rapha the first time.

I expect them both in full training next week. They are both top players. It is also about sustainability. It would be great to have them as soon as possible, but obviously for the rest of season.

Rangnick was not drawn on Lingards availability, but added: Everybody has the chance to perform and present themselves. I am happy to give game time to quite a few of them tomorrow.

It is the perfect opportunity to get to know the players.

Anthony Martial is also out of action as he recovers from a knee injury which he suffered in training on Saturday.

We need to make sure he reduces pain in next few days and hopefully have him back training next week, Rangnick added.

Peloton Adds Boxing to Its Library of Fitness Classes – The Manual

Peloton

To Peloton instructor Rad Lopez, boxing was always a celebration. The 30-year-old New Yorker remembers big family gatherings for the fights when he was a child in family gatherings among aunts and uncles, with food and drinks. But unlike the rest of his relatives, he was captivated with the fights themselves. Its a true test of composure. Its grit and grace, Lopez tells The Manual. Id be the only one watching the full card, from the first fight to the last. When Peloton hired him in June officially as a strength trainer, there was also an unannounced project hed be joining: With fellow instructors Kendall Toole and Selena Samuela, Lopez would develop Pelotons first boxing module, and on Tuesday, December 7, that module went live.

I feel like boxing is the culmination of so many of our disciplines, Lopez says of the sports place in the Peloton pantheon of fitness. All those hills and leaderboards youve topped on the bike? They translate to transferring power from the ground into your punches. The fluidity youve found from yoga? Its grace in movement as you bob and weave. And that stamina from the treadmill and the muscle from strength training? Its brute force through your knuckles and the endurance to deliver it round after round. Youre using all the modalities to be really good at boxing, he says.

Pelotons boxing module is designed as a two-week course comprised of eight 20-minute classes. It requires zero gear (its entirely shadowboxing, hitting the air rather than a heavy bag), and its appropriate for those with experience and those without. Each session is sequential, building on the last, literally from the ground up, from footwork to punches, combos, and beyond. We teach the basics and foundation of what boxing is from the first step to the very last step, he says.

Lopez is still a passionate fan of the sport, and while he gave up competing in amateur bouts, he can still rattle off a host of names and their virtues, from the jab of Oscar De La Hoya to the defense of Floyd Mayweather and the pure guts of Felix Trinidad. But hes as equally ready to espouse the sports unseen virtues that can be practiced even without setting foot in a ring. Boxing is the physical expression of fighting through things, he says, whether that might mean a tough week at work or a conflict with a supervisor. The beauty of it, he adds, is that you can make it what you want it to be.

Even if youve never thrown a punch (or, for that matter, ridden a stationary bike or run a mile on a treadmill), the progressive Peloton program can get you reaping the benefits of a boxers regimen without getting punched in the face. Aside from how fun it is, Lopez says, the benefits of boxing classes are a stronger body and mind, as well as a low impact form of active recovery. Youre also starting a pursuit that will never quite be perfected.

Boxing is an ever-growing sport, and you can always get better, he says. And that includes himself: I can still sharpen up my jab.
