When Idahos governor signed a lawlast month banning transgender women and girls from competing in school athletic programs for girls, civil rights groups readied themselves for yet another constitutional fight.

The Fairness in Womens Sports Act, or HB 500, requires a student whose eligibility is in dispute to provide a doctors note that verifies her biological sex, based on one of three things: the students reproductive anatomy, genetic makeup, or normal endogenously produced testosterone levels. The law, which applies to the states public school and higher education systems, is the first of its kind.

Its hard to imagine a more invasive thing, said Nora Huppert, a fellow at Lambda Legal, a national legal organization that fights for LGBTQ civil rights. Two student-athletes are already suing the state.

Idahos governor also signed a law prohibiting people from changing the gender markers on their birth certificates to align with their gender identity.

The goal ofthe legislation targeting trans athletes, experts say, isto codify discriminatory and invasive practices founded on nonscientific reasoning and personal prejudice.

Sport developed as a masculine pastimeto demonstrate manliness, and anything that challenges conventional gender norms or behavior threatens societal arrangements and expectations, said Lindsay Pieper, an associate professor of sports management atVirginias University of Lynchburgand the author of Sex Testing: Gender Policing in Womens Sports.

The law goes further than the guidance of the Idaho High School Activities Association, which was already restrictive. Like rules from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), it allowed trans girls and women to compete on womens teams if they had completed one year of hormonetherapy. The IOC policy goes further by requiring athletes to demonstrate specific testosterone levels for one year.

[Testosterone is] the only thing [the IOC is] regulating, said Kristine Newhall, assistant professor of kinesiology at SUNY Cortland. By zeroing in on testosterone levels, Newhall said, athletic governing bodies have created a measurement for sex only as it pertains to sports that has changed every so often when scientists believe they have a better way to measure sexdifference.

Weve gone through all these [measures] of sex: genitalia, secondary sex characteristics, chromosomes, and then its hormones, Newhall said, alluding to the relatively recent fixation on testosterone. What this demonstrates is that science tells us that theres no one way to measure sex.

One of the first public debates about the use of science and gender verification to dictate athletic participation was in 1976, when Rene Richards, a trans woman, applied to compete in the U.S. Open andrefused to subject herself to the chromosomal testrequired by the U.S. Tennis Association. Richards won a lawsuit the following year to compete without undergoing the test.

Though we still dont know what it means to embody a gender, sociocultural forces and athletic governing bodies are attempting to codify what it means to be a woman, Pieper said.

Hard science that measures chromosomes, genetics, or genitalia is an imperfect measurement of what it means to embody a gender, because scientific discoveries are often influenced by human prejudice, said JayCee Cooper, a 32-year-old amateur powerlifter and trans woman from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Science exists with a social underpinning. Theres no way to separate that, because we as humans naturally have biases.

Cooper knows this through her own experience. In late 2018, Cooper was prevented by USA Powerlifting from competing in the womens category, even though she adhered to the IOC standards of lowered testosterone levels. USA Powerlifting states on its website that trans women have advantages over cisgender women competitors, citing the scientific opinion of a doctorfrom the organizations own medical committee. In June 2019, Gender Justice, a nonprofit legal and policy advocacy organization, filed acomplaint against USA Powerlifting on behalf of Cooper.

Advantage isnt one thing, Newhall said, and theres no one bodily reason that an athletefares better than their competitors. Newhall noted that swimmers with bigger feet might best their fellow athletes on a given day, or that ice skaters with larger lungs might be better equipped for the sport. Congrats if you have greater lung capacity, then you have greater advantage.

Even then, many other determinantsincluding wealth and resourcesalso dictate ability to compete. The real disadvantage girls and women face in sports have to do with institutions that regulate them, said Sarah Axelson, senior director of advocacy at the Womens Sports Foundation, an organization dedicated to gender equality in sports.

Axelson called Idahos HB 500 a distraction from the real needs of girls athletics. According to the Womens Sports Foundation,87percent of NCAA-regulation schools were not in compliance with Title IX standards, which prohibit sex-based discrimination inschools that receive public funding. Girls, both trans and cis, need more opportunities for athletics, not fewer, Axelson said. Sports have tremendous power for the development of our youth.

Transgender students are disproportionately more likely than their cisgender peers to feel unsafe at school and be denied basic resources, like use of bathrooms or locker rooms that align with their gender.The new Idaho legislation will make the lives of trans students and anyone who doesnt conform with conventional gender norms more difficult, Huppert said. Theres clearly a moral panic around trans people, in particular in the states around trans kids.

Trans students also experience higher rates of stress and are at higher risk of suicide than their cis peers. HB 500 will exacerbate these issues. What [Idaho legislators] are saying is, Youre not normal, Newhall said.

Anti-trans legislation burdens trans student-athletes with having to assert the legitimacy of their embodied experiences. While Idaho lawmakers argue they are evening out the playing field, they are actually further disempowering trans youth and actively perpetuating anti-trans discrimination.

When trans athletes are able to compete, sports can be empowering and healing. Cooper said when shes competing, This is me to a 100 percent degree, and I get to define that for myself. Its something that nobody can take away. I get out on the platform and I do this thing, pushing myself completely to the limit [and] also pushing other peoples perspectives.

SisTers founder and president Ciora Thomas wand vice president Aiden James Nevils

The program, led by SisTers PGH vice president (and Thomas fiance) Aiden James Nevils, has been in the works for months. The original plan was to launch on International Transgender Day of Visibility (March 31), but when that event couldn't happen in person, Nevils still wanted to launch it virtually.

"I was like, 'Hey, if we can't announce this at our Transgender Day of Visibility, we have to let people know this is a resource for them as well because people are looking to talk,'" says Nevils. "People are looking to have some type of connection in a time when we aren't really able to connect physically."

Nevils says he was inspired by seeing Thomas' leadership in the city as a trans woman and wanted to create a space for trans men in leadership positions, too.

BroThers operates under the wider umbrella of SisTers, and Nevils describes it as a branch off of the tree in the organization's logo, adding that SisTers will always be "the roots."

"SisTers PGH has laid the groundwork for what it looks like to have trans leadership in the city," says Nevils. "The thought process behind this is we also need to have trans masculine and trans men leadership in the city as well. And also have a group where all people can come together and talk."

A primary focus of the programming, especially while everything is virtual, is a support group for trans men and trans masculine people, where they can be open and honest about their experiences. Nevils says there aren't many resources or support groups specifically for trans men and trans masculine people in Pittsburgh or anywhere else across the country. Even when there are, he says they often focus on the physical aspects of transitioning, like hormones and surgery, but not as much on the mental and emotional changes.

"When you start testosterone, there's a lot of different things that happen to your body, but no one talks about the things that happen mentally and how it works with your emotions and how you start to feel things differently," says Nevils, citing the importance of teaching people that taking testosterone is "not the end-all, be-all. It's not a cure."

The resources from SisTers and BroThers are especially important during the current pandemic, as they provide resources for a community that might not otherwise get help. For every marginalized group of people, the pandemic has further highlighted ways that governments and institutions fail to work for all people, including the trans community. Nevils points to the example of SisTers PGH's LGBTQIA Emergency Relief Fund (which has currently raised over $26,000) without which there might not be any relief fund geared at helping trans people in the city.

"When you think about the transgender community in its entirety, we're already marginalized and pushed outside the bounds of what is considered to be human," says Nevils. "This pandemic has shined a major light on how often trans people are forgotten about."

BroThers PGH is currently taking donations of physical supplies like masks and toiletries, as well as financial donations, which can be made through SisTers PGH.

Brandon Walters, owner and head trainer at iFitt24 at the Ashton Place shopping center in Charleston, said the writing was on the wall a few days before Gov. Jim Justice closed down area health clubs like his.

Much of the state and the county was grinding to a halt with social distancing directives. On March 17, state government closed restaurants. A day later, the governor ordered all gyms and health clubs to close.

We shut down finally on March 19, he said. Days before that, I told people they needed to get to Target, they needed to get to Walmart or Dicks Sporting Goods and get some equipment.

Some of his clients, Walters said, balked.

Weights arent cheap. Barbells and dumbbells are cumbersome and hard to haul in small car and wasnt this why they got a gym membership in the first place?

Walters tried to explain it was an investment for an emergency and a good one, overall, anyway.

An iron kettlebell will last you a lifetime, he said. It will outlast you.

Eventually, Walters said he loaned out some equipment from the performance studio to help augment workouts his clients were doing in their homes.

Jackson Breeding, a co-owner at CrossFit 304 on Crescent Road in Charleston, said, The first thing we did was have people come in and grab any equipment they might need dumbbells, barbells, plates, boxes, whatever.

CrossFit WV trainer/co-owner Ashleigh Woods said no one could have expected something like coronavirus. Her Brooks Street gym has closed occasionally for a day or two to host special trainings, for maintenance or to slap a coat of paint on the cinderblock walls, but the membership is a little fanatical.

The gym routinely teaches classes on holidays and coaches stagger their vacations, so that theres always someone around to run a workout of the day.

Absolutely nothing like this has happened before, Woods said, still baffled.

CrossFit WV loaned out equipment, too.

All three gyms have sent workouts to their gym members, either by email or message. Theyve recorded videos, posted them online and worked to keep their fitness communities together.

They encourage their members to stay in touch, like posting pictures and videos on the gyms Facebook pages or their personal Instagram accounts.

If we dont hear from somebody after a few days, we check in with them, Woods said.

People who take exercise classes do it because it works for them. Its social. Theres competition and there are instructors to monitor progress, answer questions, correct movements and provide an extra kick in motivation.

Like other businesses, the local gyms and fitness clubs embraced Zoom meetings, though instead of office workers sitting at laptops discussing business strategies and dividing up tasks, everyone exercises together.

We try to do those in the afternoons, Breeding said. Weve had pretty good participation.

Its not as good as meeting in person, but its a way to keep exercising.

Woods said finding things for gym members to do hasnt been a problem.

Weve had times when people couldnt make it to class, she said. They go on vacation. They take a trip. They travel for work. Some of them will be gone for upwards of a month, so we have what we call our hotel workouts, if they want to stay active.

These workouts dont require much in the way of equipment and some of the early workouts during social distancing relied on those hotel plans at least until they could get equipment out to the membership.

While social distancing restrictions are only just beginning to fade, its not too early to get started trying to get fit and maybe undo some of the damage picked up from a little too much time indoors.

Breeding said beginning a workout program doesnt require a lot of heavy and expensive equipment. It doesnt even need to be complicated.

Just doing pushups and pullups can be great, he said. You can do dynamic movements, like the kind youd see at the track, like running in place with high knees that will get your heart rate up.

Walters agreed that simple was a great way to start.

You can really do a lot with body weight exercises and completing circuits. That can be a fantastic workout, he said.

And the private clubs arent the only avenues for ideas about exercise during social distancing.

The YMCA of Kanawha Valley is offering online fitness videos, which include everything from aerobics and yoga classes to weight-lifting tutorials.

These videos are free to all during the pandemic.

Still, instruction and convenience arent necessarily the problem, Woods said.

Staying motivated is tough, she said.

Thats the appeal of fitness classes and things like CrossFit.

If you lack that natural motivation to do what you need to do, we can help keep you accountable, she said.

Walters said even if people cant get to the gym or cant stand another video, they can still just go outside.

People think that you need to run to get fit, he said. Walking is a great exercise. Thats going to be better than downloading some app.

Walking costs nothing and doesnt really require much, except for comfortable clothing and a good pair of shoes.

Walters said, You walk some of these hills around here at a brisk pace and I promise you it will get your heart up. Its good for your mental health just to get outside, get a little vitamin D and its just so doggone pretty outside right now.

The key to getting in a good weightlifting exercise these days? Improvise. Bodybuilders are utilizing household items to get their workouts in. USA TODAY

With social distancing and self-quarantine part of our current reality, this is a great time to refresh your fitness and health regimen.

Whether youre a cardio enthusiast, yoga devotee or beginner to exercise, here are some ideas to jumpstart your workouts and upgrade your health.

With the temperature warming up and longer days, switch up your activities and enjoy the outdoors. Walking, running, biking, rollerblading there's no shortage of outdoor activities.

Whether you are just beginning to run or planning to train for a race from a 5K to a marathon, this is the ideal time to start. Anytime you commit to working out is great, but there are so many perks of spring that make running more enjoyable and easier to stick with. Before putting on your sneakers and heading out, make sure you have the appropriate gear.

HIIT, short for high-intensity interval training, gets your heart rate up and burns more fat in less time.(Photo: microgen / Getty Images)

HIIT, short for high-intensity interval training, is a technique in which you give all-out, 100% effort through quick, intense bursts of exercise, followed by short recovery periods. HIIT gets your heart rate up and burns more fat in less time.

According to studies, there are many benefits to this type of training such as increased aerobic capacity and endurance, muscle building and fat loss. Also, due to the short amount of time it takes, its perfect for those who have busy schedules. That being said, you dont need to do HIIT workouts every day just three to four days a week can be effective for most people.

If youve ever done an Instagram search for yoga, youre likely to find people holding some of the most unusual and challenging poses most peoplecould probably never achieve.

Consider checking out a restorative yoga class to slow down your mind and body through passive stretching. In some restorative classes, you might not move all that much its more about focusing on a few postures over the course of an hour and movement through mindfulness.

With busy schedules and lives even while staying safer at home, this class might be just what you need at the end of your day.

If youre stretched for time between work and family, try downloading the Pilates Anytime app for less than $20 a month and practicing anytime, anywhere your schedule allows.

With a comprehensive list of classes for every fitness and intensity level, theres something for everyone. The program offers everything from Mat Pilates to equipment-based classes like Reformers and Chair. Details: pilatesanytime.com

Chances are, youve heard about the negative effects of sugar on the body. Not only does excessive sugar consumption lead to weight gain and a risk of heart disease, studies show it can lead to a host of other health problems in the long term. Companies like Bougie Bakes offer organic, gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free and non-GMO cookies, brownies and scones made in small batches. Using high-quality ingredients, the snacks are meant to be small enough to satisfy a sweet tooth without going overboard. Details: bougiebakes.com

No matter what your fitness regimen, you will want to check out Muscle MX, a preventative pain reliever that not only blocks any discomfort in the body after a strenuous workout or long day on the go, but also activates your body and makes sure to kick the pain away long before you train. The Restore CBD lotion ($44) targets pain and inflammation. Non-greasy yet moisturizing, its also perfect for treating blisters, minor cuts and scrapes while warding off infection.

Carroll's letter referred members to Live Cycle Delight, a fitness studio that opened in Detroit's West Village in 2017. Owner Amina Daniels has decided she will try to see operations through to the other side, though she's uncertain what it will look like and unsure how she'll be able to keep paying rent.

"There's going to be a significant reduction in participation from seniors, from people who are furloughed, from people who don't feel comfortable coming in," Daniels told Crain's.

"If you do not have a Dan Gilbert landlord, a lot of landlords are still wanting full rent," she said, referring to the billionaire Quicken Loans Inc. chairman who said a month ago that his real estate company Bedrock LLC would suspend rent payments for the next three months to its small-business retail and restaurant tenants.

The U.S. fitness industry brings in more than $32 billion annually with 62.5 million gym members, according to the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association. Michigan is home to more than 1,000 gyms, to which many residents retreat during colder months. The industry had been on pace for a record year until the coronavirus outbreak put it on life support.

"America's fitness industry is one of the hardest hit by the forced closures mandated by the coronavirus crisis," according to the association.

Daniels, who runs two studios in Detroit, said she lost $12,000 in revenue last month after shutting down March 16, per Whitmer's orders. She projects another $20,000 lost in April. Her bills have not been suspended.

"We still have full rent due, accounts receivable, utilities it's not enough support," Daniels said. "I think you will see more studios that aren't able to hang on."

Daniels said she applied for the federal Paycheck Protection Program assistance when it first became available but has not heard back. She, along with a handful of staff members, are teaching a few classes remotely, but the business remains mostly in a holding pattern.

During this time while many are at home due to COVID-19, we must find ways to keep active. Although gyms are closed and most cities are now Shelter in Place, there are still plenty of options to get a little physical activity.

Physical activity is great because it promotes a healthy lifestyle and can be fun! It also helps you sleep better, reduce risks of chronic diseases and much more. You can see more benefits of physical activity here.

I wanted to provide you with a variety of indoor physical activities that you can do as a family. The good news is, they are simple and equipment is optional, not mandatory. The overall goal is to move throughout your day while stuck at home. Here are some suggestions on how to get in some physical activity each day:

Create exercise stations as a family you can have 4-5 stations that each have an exercise. Have the kids choose the exercise for each station or everyone could take turns. Some examples could be: jumping jacks, sit-ups, frog jumps, squats. This can be modified to fit your family and you can choose any exercise youd like.

Do an exercise workout YouTube has tons of great workout videos that are FREE. There are also different types of workouts such as, circuit training, high intensity, yoga, chair exercises, Zumba, and lots more! I highly recommend YouTube! Theres something for every age group.

Lets Dance! Dancing is a great way to move. Put on your favorite artist or music genre and enjoy! Be sure there is plenty of space for you and the family to dance around to avoid bumping into one another.

Walking around This one is self-explanatory. However, to switch things up a bit, perhaps walking when you are watching a TV Show. For example, walk around your house during commercial breaks. This helps loosen the muscles, especially if youve been sitting awhile. If you have stairs in your house, walk up and down them 2-3 times before sitting back down.

Bottle or Can lifting If you want to do more of a resistance training, try using things you may find in your pantry. Keep in mind, nothing to extraneous. Just something that adds a little weight. This helps us build our strength. Canned goods or small (filled) water bottles would be a good item to use to do bicep curls or shoulder press.

To see more ideas of ways to incorporate physical activity, I encourage you to visit this website. They provide a variety of activities for the family (including your pets too!). Remember to stay active as much as you can. Lets Move!

HAMPTON ROADS, Va. (WAVY) Every Fitness Friday, weve talked about physical exercise and nutrition, but its also important to give your brain a workout!

The question is, how? Thats where the Mind Brain Academy comes in to play.

Doctors Heather Kinchlow and Dawn Lawrence created the academy to share information on what you, as a family, can do to expand your mind and strengthen your memory.

Kinchlow says every day, you have 700 to 1,000 new neurons, but you have to do something to keep them engaged.

We cannot wait until mental decline happens before we begin to re-circuit the mind. We cannot wait until our students are suffering before we do something and train them how to up-level their thinking, Kinchlow said.

Kinchlow says now is the time to work together and practice some mental exercises. She suggests something called mid-line writing, which involves penmanship.

The thing about this penmanship, its a little different. Instead of you doing it just on a regular notebook (vertically), you actually turn the page horizontal and you create lines (horizontally).

Dr. Kinchlow goes on: I would start writing on the left, and go all the way through. Make sure you dont make any breaks. I have a star (in the top/middle of the page) because that represents where my nose would be. I sit up straight and tall, and I begin to practice these different symbols or motifs we call them, because it could be a different variety of letters, numbers, or symbols.

In areas of her writing, she makes letters smaller in some areas and larger in others just to push the brain to have to interact, to have more interaction with the left and right hemisphere of the brain.

Once youve mastered, that, she recommends you do it backwards and use your left hand to really stimulate those hemispheres of the brain. Another exercise Kinchlow suggests is what she calls Listen, Repeat and Write.

That is when you would just dictate a couple of sentences to yourself, to your student, you read them, you cover them up, and then you write them down holding them in your working memory, short-term, to increase that ability and stimulate that ability so that youll be able to increase memory.

Kinchlow goes on: For a younger student I might say 3, 2, 1, something like that, I would pause, I would ask them to repeat it, and then they would write it. I would say to another student, Listen to this sentence. Something like spiders or majestic engineers, I would pause, ask them to repeat it, and then to write it. You will be able to see the different glitches or the gaps that you have personally or your student.

Kinchlow suggests doing the exercises four to five times a week for 10 minutes to one hour per day.

She says our minds are ready to grow and expand. We just have to challenge them.

According to the Harvard School of Business, their institution, we have found out now that every day you can grow new neurons, and the brain you had yesterday is not the same brain that you have today, and so if you are intentional, you can impose upon that brain and develop the mind that you desire to have, Kinchlow said.

Lawrence shares Kinchlows passion for strengthening the brain and increasing memory. She has a number of exercises parents can do to challenge the thinking of their children.

I recommend that parents take the time to encourage students to think about words that speak about math like how many? or What would it be if you had five dozen? How many would that be? If a trio was singing, how many would that be? So the mental math is coming in through words like quartet or century or trio. I mean, just having conversations with our children about this helps them to see the math in everyday life, Lawrence said.

She also encourages parents to work with their students on holding information in their head and then giving it back to them. Lawrence says many times students are so engaged with technology that they rarely build the muscles in their brain to hold information.

We play a game, kind of like a dictation game around here and well say 517 888 Elm Street and you cant write it, but you have to hold it. You hear it. You hold it, and then you get to write it.

Lawrence says this time of quarantine gives parents a true look at what happens in school.

Especially during this time, parents get to see up close and personal what teachers are dealing with every single day times 23 times 25 students.

Lawrence suggests sitting down with your child while you prepare a meal and ask them to play one of the games.

Now that we have this time, we dont know for how long. This is a season where you can kind of stretch your kid and build some capacity in them yourself. I believe that parents will buy-in more. If you have not taken the time to invest in your child academically, this is a wake-up call for you, as the parent, Lawrence said.

WASHINGTON Pfc. Tyrell J. Audain was in the midst of a physical fitness test more than two weeks ago at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, Calif., when he collapsed.

The Marine, a 19-year-old former high school athlete, was rushed to a hospital where he was later pronounced dead, Brig. Gen. Roger Turner, the commanding general at Twentynine Palms, wrote at the time in a statement on the base Facebook page, without naming Audain.

On Friday, the Marine Corps confirmed Audain was the Marine who died April 15 at Twentynine Palms after his death was listed in the Naval Safety Centers mishap summaries report. His death is under investigation, but it was not related to the coronavirus, according to Capt. Samuel Stephenson, a Marine spokesman.

Audain was attending the Marine Corps communications-electronics school at the time of his death, according to his service record. On his Facebook page are photos of him racing for the track team at Minisink Valley High School in Middletown, N.Y., which he graduated from in 2019.

Audains death is the latest in a string of Navy Department personnel who have collapsed during a physical fitness test and later died.

In February, Midshipman 3rd Class Duke Carrillo, 21, of Flower Mound, Texas, collapsed during the mile and a half run of his physical readiness test at the U.S. Naval Academy. The sophomore was taken to a nearby medical center where he was pronounced dead, according to the school. The cause of his death was under review.

In November, a petty officer first class died after collapsing while running on a treadmill during a physical fitness test at Fort Meade, Md., according to the Naval Safety Center. News reports identified the sailor as Trent Fraser, 24, a cryptologic technician-interpretive and his death was under investigation.

In February and April 2019, two Navy recruits died during their final physical assessments before the end of their training at Naval Station Great Lakes, Ill.
