CALIFORNIA There's never been a better time to think about personal wellness. With many gyms closed around the state due to the pandemic, people have adjusted their exercise routines from "group" to "solo" and that's where fitness apps come in. Not only can they help get you in shape, the apps also offer online camaraderie with others who are striving to meet their workout goals.

Here's Patch's guide to some of the best fitness apps that will help keep you well (and connected) during 2021 and beyond.

Activities: Strength training, cardio, mobilityWhy: Take it to your living room, backyard or garage. Nike Training Club is perfect for people without a gym membership or those needing variety in their fitness routines. (HINT: It's also a great choice for frequent business travelers seeking anytime personal training.) The app features on-demand video workouts that vary in length many are free, but you can upgrade to a premium membership that will open up a complete video library featuring sessions led by trainers who offer tips and guidance. The app includes a good variety of individual workouts and multi-week training programs.

Activities: GeneralWhy: Tracking steps is a little old school these days, but for those just getting started this one is a gem. Simple to use, MapMyFitness monitors your moves in real time (feel good about vacuuming, taking out the trash) and it tells you how many calories you've burned. You can also log your activities manually, and MapMyFitness is compatible with other trackers, such as Fitbit and others. The app also lets you set goals and challenge friends in the MapMyFitness community, and it can lead you to the best walking, hiking, running and cycling trails.

Cost: Free; fee-based premium membership available

Activities: Running, cyclingWhy: Strava is a community platform for serious athletes and beginners alike. Yes, it tracks your performance stats and gives a deep dive into the data, but it also lets you interact with friends, family and professional athletes who are on the platform. You can upload photos and activities, find cycling and running routes, ask for advice. You'll form new bonds with others who can help keep you motivated. It's the ultimate social network for athletes (pro and amateur alike).

Activities: Walking, running, cyclingWhy: Need a reason to get moving and don't mind a little in-your-face marketing? Charity Miles donates money to the organization of your choice when you use the app to log miles. Its motto is "Walk, Run, Bike for a Cause." Corporate sponsors donate a few cents for every mile you track, and in exchange you get to see their branding in the app. (Read more about how Charity Miles works). The app also helps you run pledge drives and supports a large number of nonprofit organizations.

Cost: Free

JefitActivities: Strength trainingWhy: If you've got a solid cardio routine but need help with strength training, Jefit is a good pick. Like so many other apps out there, it's a community platform where users share goals, progress, tips, workout routines, etc. But instead of chatter about the best running routes in town, users are more likely to discuss deadlifts and barbell split squats. The Jefit sessions are sport-specific and/or targeted to particular muscle groups, and there are tools to keep track of your workouts, rest days, and overall training schedule.

Cost: Free; fee-based premium membership available

More info: https://www.jefit.com/

GloActivities: Yoga, pilates, meditationWhy: Even if you already have an awesome fitness routine, throwing in some yoga and pilates will help you stay flexible, improve balance, and may help stave off injury. At the highest levels, yoga and pilates workouts are butt-kicking sessions that leave you wringing wet. Glo offers online on-demand classes (more than 4,000) with what it calls "the world's best teachers." By answering a few simple questions, Glo can help you find classes best suited to your level.

Fitness events to add to your calendar this week - Houston Chronicle

Lydia Ko and Yealimi Noh were bundled up for one the coldest rounds ever played during a U.S. Women's Open.

Winter is here, and with it comes frigid temperatures, wind, rain and snow. If youre a serious golfer (or have a screw loose), you know a little cold weather wont stop you from getting in 18 holes, despite the freezing conditions.

When it comes to playing in the cold, however, there are a few things you need to know if you want to play your best and stay healthy while you do it. Dont just take our word for it. In a recent conversation with Kolby Wayne Tullier, who trains PGA Tour and LPGA Tour players, he shared his athletes secrets to competing at the highest level in cold weather.Check out his tips below.

It might be easy to roll up to the course five minutes before your tee time and get a quick stretch in before you tee off during the summer, but doing so in the winter leaves you susceptible to injury. Jumping right into your round without a solid 20-30 minute warmup is like trying to stretch a rubber band you just took out of the freezer. If you pull on that rubber band, its going to snap a lot easier than it would if you had warmed it up first. Thats exactly what happens to you muscles too, Tullier says.

So, once youve warmed up, how do you stay warm?

This probably seems obvious, but layers is a tried and true way to keep your body temperature up in cold weather. Thats because warm air gets trapped between each layer, acting as an insulator. When layering, make sure you wear a moisture-wicking base layer, a mid layer that provides insulation to trap your body heat, and an outer layer to protect you from wind and rain. Sticking to this layering system will ensure you keep warm, but dont wind up wearing bulky items that prevent you from freely swinging a club.

All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy a linked product, GOLF.COM may earn a fee. Pricing may vary.

Snacking every few holes and staying hydrated is good advice any time of the year, but in the winter you should have something to eat and drink every two or three holes instead of every four to five holes. You dont have to eat a large amount, but every time you eat and drink something your body will begin its digestive process, which actually raises your core temperature. Because your body is working twice as hard to keep you warm and get you around 18 holes, you actually need to take in more calories than you think when its cold out.

Follow these tips and youll be able to bring your A-game to a frigid course near you.

Okay, scratch 2020. Onwards and upwards. As the New Year approaches, its natural to start thinking about goals, resolutions and personal progression and health and fitness are obvious places to start.

If necessity saw you working out from home this year, and you found it was actually your jam, you might like to use your summer break to step up your home gym set-up.

Among the benefits are flexibility, costs, privacy, less travel time, no babysitting needed, your own music choices, and less gym odours. Consider these options:

What you need

How long is a piece of string? There are gym equipment options for any budget and space.

Cardio equipment can be bought or rented and preloved machines sourced from online marketplaces or the Green Shed.

If thats not within your budget, a combination of hand weights or kettle bells, yoga mat and resistance bands (available from discount stores) and a little knowledge will help keep you fit in 2021.

DIY options

A Pinterest search ranges from upcycling household items into equipment to large scale creations. Choose your own adventure, depending on your time, effort, skills, and care factor:

Space and storage

Whether your workout space is a spare room, balcony, backyard or shed, you need accessible storage.

A dedicated space within common sight where you hang equipment, workout schedules and motivational boards will help keep your health and fitness goals on track.

New year, new goals, new attitude, same you

Set one or two goals for yourself and make them SMART: Simple, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Timely make sure to write them down.

When setting these goals, be kind to yourself and remember, successful people are not those who dont fail but those who get back up and try again.

Dont give up and make a coping plan so you know what action to take if/when things get off-track.

Reframe your goals. Rather than imposing a three-day-a-week gym rule, resolve not to go longer than three days without exercise. Give yourself breathing room and flexibility and credit when you get it right.

Schedule it. A rule of time management is if you write it on a list it wont happen, when you schedule time for it, it will. And be sure to ask yourself, what time of the day works best for you?

Music, apps and the internet

Traditionally its pump-up music that gets us moving, but research suggests people who listen to audiobooks are twice as likely to exercise more. Stay on top of trending podcasts and audiobooks with a wireless speaker system or headphones.

There are a myriad of fitness and nutrition apps out there. Pick one that allows you to log your progress, learn new health information and keeps you accountable, without being too severe.

Get outside

Mix it up. One of the benefits to come out of lockdown is our return to local parks and outdoor spaces. Get your cardio and get involved in your neighbourhood at the same time especially now Park Run is back.

BOCA RATON, Fla. A new report from the Department of Veterans Affairs shows the suicide rate among veterans is climbing. The rate currently stands 1.5 times the rate of non-veterans. In response the VA developed a National Strategy for Preventing Veteran Suicide and local veterans in places like Boca Raton are responding.

If you're a veteran whose feeling blue, Wade Waddick, the owner of Evolution Fitness in Boca Raton will try to sweat it out of you.

Its definitely an issue an issue in the veteran community and exponentially worse in 2020 where we have 48-million Americans out of work, said Waddick. The veterans suicide rate has actually gotten even higher amongst female veterans so isolations is one of the worst things they can do. They have to get out and reconnect.

Each week Evolution Fitness offers Savage Saturday, a 9:30am group workout free of charge in response to veterans issues. The session builds strength and resilience, helping vets like Braden Smith who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Arthur Mondale

Sometimes Im mentally not in a good place, but here I can forget about everything that's going on in my head, Smith said.

And vets like Joseph Plumadore also come here to share stories.

This is definitely mission based. Everybody here is mission essential, Plumadore said.

And the influence is growing. Group workouts are followed by 2 Marines 1 Mic, a post-workout personal development podcast that focuses on mindset, fitness, and valuable lessons learned. Wade and Phil take their Marine Corps experiences and relate them to everyday life, business, and daily practices so that you too can operate on a higher level.

We're all just kind of sick and tired of being told a narrative, Waddick said.

Kansas City Chiefs fans hoping to work off some of those game-day pounds may have an especially apt place to exercise, come spring.

The team announced this week that it plans to open a top-line fitness center in Overland Park featuring the latest in fitness and recovery equipment. The centers projected opening date is not yet clear.

The new Chiefs Fit center will be in the Regency Park Shopping Center near 93rd Street and Metcalf Avenue at the former site of a Michaels Craft Store.

The 37,000-square-foot space will have a full range of strength and conditioning equipment, right down to Chiefs-branded free weights. There will also be an indoor turf field, cryotherapy, hydromassage machines, a sauna, spray tan booths and a locker room, as well as personal training and fitness classes, according to the teams announcement.

Chiefs Fit branded apparel and gear also will be for sale there.m

We have continued to focus on health and wellness over the past couple of years, and not just for our players, coaches and staff, said Chiefs President Mark Donovan in a press release.

NFL team-branded fitness centers have popped up in recent years in other cities, including Dallas and San Francisco.

The Overland Park undertaking is a joint project between the Chiefs and M6 Football, whose founder, Mark Mastrov, is former chairman of 24 Hour Fitness.

We are very excited and proud to be able to partner with the Super Bowl Champion Chiefs to bring this amazing facility to life, Mastrov said.

The team also pledged to employ the same health and pandemic safety protocols currently in use at Arrowhead Stadium.

The new facility will have touchless water fillers, appropriate air handling, and social distancing. It will comply with all state and local orders regarding gyms during the pandemic, the press release said.

The gym is designed for all levels and membership information will be announced in January.

Regency Park has recently undergone a face lift, with new facades for many of the buildings. There have also been some changes in businesses in the area. Just north, a Whole Foods grocery moved out. Developers are planning a facility for clinical research trials for that space.
