NBA trainers and strength coaches have a strange kind of balance to maintain during this COVID-19 shutdown.

They coach and encourage their charges remotely, and try to set up a framework for a return to action at an unknown time that wont hit these finely-tuned athletes with too much activity at once.

Bryan Doo, who left the Celtics in 2017 after a 14-year run as the teams strength and fitness coach to focus on the growth of his private company, Optimal Fitness, believes a gradual ramp-up will be best for all concerned once the NBA sends out the call.

The thing we dont think about is how great these guys are as athletes. Theyve been going since AAU, so its not necessarily a huge bad thing that they get a rest, Doo said this week. In the grand scheme of things I think these guys are such great athletes, they can adjust until its time to go back and play games.

What I think will happen is that teams will go deeper in their benches, so guys dont play as many minutes. Thats what I would do.

And Doo believes his former team and coachs style of rotating players is especially conducive to what will be needed at this unorthodox time.

It kind of works to Brads system, right? Doo said of Brad Stevens, and the Celtics coachs tendency to go deep into his bench during the most normal of times.

Brads very aware of what the staff is telling him, said Doo. He can tell when guys are getting too much work or whatever. He trusts the staff really well. Thats one thing I really appreciate about Brad is that he just trusts us to tell him what we need. Brads ego isnt there. Im good at basketball coaching, but lets let the professionals do what they do.

Thats what I loved about Brad. Lets get the most guys the most experience, the most conditioning and the most resting they need for the long haul. Eight seasons, he realizes its not a college team, its not a race, its a marathon. If he burns the guys out early hes not going to get the best out of them. Brad always learns every season. He always gets smarter and smarter. Hell get them into the right pace, get them enough touches, enough contact with the ground to keep them healthy. Its hard, though, because they really have a tough season with injuries.

Another challenge will come in the form of intensity the one quality from an NBA game, above all others, that players arent getting right now. Jayson Tatum, who admittedly doesnt even have a basket at home, has a significant path back to regaining the form of his breakout season.

One of the biggest challenges is the intensity in the game. We can do some high intensity work, but the physicality of the game is so much greater than any activity theyre going to get, said Doo. Definitely its how hard they go. When you go from jogging or some sprinting to running up the court, stopping on a dime, jumping and landing, the intensity of the game is different from a workout.

You worry about coming back and getting injured, he said. The muscles are now being taxed in different ways, so theres going to be more muscle pulls, too. But each player hopefully has individualized programs now and that helps. I know a lot of teams have dropped off equipment. My buddies in Phoenix are making deliveries. Some guy is getting a Peloton, something like that.

At issue, too, is keeping a player on track with a training staffs message. Many players have multiple trainers beyond what is offered by the team. This is where burnout can become a problem.

The thing is that the total amount of volume theyre doing now is just so great, said Doo. All summer long they have their own private basketball guy, their own trainer guy. Across the NBA people put their foot down that this is the staff you have and the guy you will work with.

It used to be a rarity when a player would have his own guy, he said. Every person out there now has become an Instagram sensation as far as, Im training pros. They try to wow the players. You want to come back to me (is the message). But I see the long-term thing, the plan. Im worried about when the season comes up. A lot of guys get hurt in the middle of the season because theyve overdone it. Too many hands on them. I was in Miami here, and L.A. there, and I have three different guys working on me because they want to show how good they are. Players are like, Oh, I worked really hard so I must be good. Whereas, Im like, You did way too much today.

A players gradual return, then, is the key for an NBA trainer or strength coach.

There are things in place, said Doo. Once you get the call that youre three weeks out, Hey, we just heard from the league, lets start jumping rope, or a sprint pattern, something like that. They can do things so that when I get to them, its finding the right things after that.

Because what I think is going to happen is that once guys get back, theyre all going to want to play basketball. The players themselves are just going to want to ball. Its almost like keeping them from themselves.

Fitness videos from international celebrity trainers, curated by US TV personality Jillian Michaels, known for presenting NBCs The Biggest Loser including 87 of her own workouts streamed on demand. Its fitness content of the bikini body brigade ilk, slightly retro and largely aimed at a female audience in search of a slim, toned physique (though there is also James Crossley Fit at 40+ - remember him as Hunter from Gladiators?). Choose workouts by trainer or type (think core/abs, ballet barre, HIIT, stretch and restore, kickboxing, post-natal Pilates and, um, Buns N Thighs). Theres also lifestyle documentaries exploring food and fitness, on topics like paleo, organic farming and wheat intolerances.

I tried Kenta Sekis Fusion 15 15 full body exercises split into three circuits (two sets of five exercises), requiring two dumb bells. Moves like butterfly tricep dips, push ups with a cross-crunch, lateral lunge swings and plank jacks were easy to follow, fast enough to get my blood pumping and well-shot, with three trainers demonstrating different modifications.

Next? Tone & Shred Bikini Booty with Tone It Up founders Katrina Hodgson and Karena Dawn and Jillian herself (a fun, if cringeworthy class - I felt like I was there hanging out with them) followed by Jillian Michaels 6 Week Six Pack Level 2.

I can see how programmes like this promising progression, can be addictive and effective, but there isnt much direct feedback from FitFusion on your personal achievements, and its quite a passive, TV-like set-up.

After a 7-day free trial, its $89.99 for a whole year, or $9.99 a month.

What happened: The company behind Steve Nash Fitness World and Sports Club has filed for creditor protection.

Why it matters: SNFW Fitness B.C. Ltd. owes more than $35 million to more than 140 creditors. The company has filed a notice of intention to file a proposal, which would outline how it plans to restructure the company.

The company behind Steve Nash Fitness World and SportsClub has filed for creditor protection as it works to restructure its business.

SNFW Fitness B.C. Ltd., which operates 27 facilities under Steve Nash and UFC Gym brands, owes more than $35 million to more than 140 creditors.

In a letter to creditors, company management said the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant economic impact on the chains business, however court documents suggest the company owed significant debts prior to the coronavirus outbreak in B.C.

SNFW Fitness closed its locations and terminated all of its team members in March.

The company filed a notice of intention to make a proposal to its creditors on April 3.

We appreciate that at this difficult time, this decision adds another financial burden to you, our creditors. However, our intention with taking this step is to gain the necessary time,and flexibility to formulate a restructuring plan that will enable us to re-open our doors, and get back to the business of a healthy life, when this crisis is over, the letter states.

SNFW Fitnesss largest creditor is the Bank of Montreal, which is owed $32 million, according to court documents.

Another 141 creditors are collectively owed $3.4 million. They include Google (owed more than $136,000) and Facebook, Inc. (owed nearly $182,000).

Larger local creditors include Burnaby-based Matra Construction Inc. (owed more than $820,000), Sandman Hotel Group (owed more than $94,000) and Fortis BC (owed more than $72,000).

Vancouver-based Worldgo Travel Management Ltd. is owed $25,242.64. The company booked SNFW Fitness's corporate travel, and co-founder Eric Sakawsky says the roughly two-year business relationship was all-in-all okay.

"What I guess in the end didn't really sit well is that they asked us if they could trade over their limit maybe a few weeks before they went under, and we said 'Yes,'" said Sakawsky. Worldgo allowed SNFW Fitness to spend above what was around a $15,000 limit, with the promise that an initial payment would come days later.

When it came time for payment, Sakawsky said the company told him that they wouldn't be able to release the funds.

"With travel being hit probably the hardest in all of this, it's definitely not ideal to with everything else going on to also have to now carry their loss."

SNFW Fitness has not returned repeated requests for comment.

Yoga is a practice that can help build a stronger connection between your mind and body. While there are many types of yoga, some focus more on meditation and mindfulness, and others focus on strength and endurance.

As part of a regular exercise regimen, yoga can help you lose weight because it burns calories. But perhaps the larger benefit of yoga is the potential to increase mindfulness, which can reduce stress and help you live a healthier overall lifestyle.

Yoga is a set of physical, mental, and spiritual practices that help participants focus on their breath and feel more connected to their bodies.

"Yoga includes a heavy emphasis on bringing attention inward," says David Chesworth, ACSM-Certified Personal Trainer and Fitness Director at Hilton Head Health. "Breathing is always a part of fitness, but in yoga you're really emphasizing a certain type of breath that you connect with body positions and postures."

There are many different types of yoga, and while they all work on connecting breath with movement, some types of yoga are better suited for certain goals.

As part of a regular exercise routine, yoga can help you lose weight, but it isn't necessarily the best method for everyone.

"When it comes to weight loss, you're gonna burn calories doing yoga, and so, it will help." Chesworth says. "But I wouldn't necessarily say if you're trying to lose weight that yoga is the golden bullet."

In addition to the mental health benefits of yoga, the practice can increase flexibility, strengthen and tone muscles, and enhance mobility.

If you're already physically active, adding yoga to your exercise routine two or three times a week could help with your weight loss goals, Chesworth says. And if you're just starting out, you can aim for once a week and build up from there.

The type of yoga you do also plays a role in weight loss, Johnson says. Some of the more physically demanding styles of yoga, like Vinyasa or Bikram incorporate postures that are more aerobic and weight-bearing, meaning they burn more calories and build more muscle than other types of yoga, and may lead to faster weight loss.

Even just a few weeks of a regular yoga practice can lead to health benefits and weight loss. For example, a 2013 study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine showed a 10-day yoga program resulted in weight loss and a reduced risk of heart disease in overweight men. The men in the study had a body mass index (BMI) of 26 or greater and lost an average of 1.9 kg of weight.

Another 2013 study examined the effects of restorative yoga on overweight women and found those who participated in a 48-week yoga program lost more weight over a six month period than those who participated in a stretching program but not yoga. The yoga group lost 34 square centimeters of fat directly under the skin compared to 6 square centimeters for the group that participated in the stretching program.

While yoga may not burn as many calories as other aerobic exercises like jogging or walking, it can increase endurance and strength, which helps with weight loss, Johnson says.

A regular yoga practice can also increase mindfulness and reduce stress, which can help improve nutrition choices and contribute to a healthier lifestyle. For example, yoga may allow you to feel more in touch with your own body and respond better to hunger cues, or have a higher awareness of your eating habits and how to effectively change them.

If you're new to yoga, a good way to start is to reach out to a local studio or hire a yoga instructor.

"With a few lessons from a private instructor, one can learn to perform common breathing exercises and postures, and learn a little more about the history and philosophy of yoga," Johnson says. "An experienced instructor can guide an individual on the proper alignment of the body in the postures based on the individual's unique ability and experience."

If you're already active, but want to incorporate yoga as part of a weight loss plan, try working it in a couple days per week as a supplement to your other workouts, Cheswoeth says. If you feel intimidated by the idea of yoga or you don't have a local studio available to you, you can check out online resources, many of which are free and offer yoga for all types of levels.

Some poses you can start with at home include:

Warrior two pose. Georgeijevic/Getty Images

Start in a wide straddle. Point your right foot 90 degrees to the right and your left foot 10 to 15 degrees to the right as well. Look over your right, middle finger, so both your right foot and eyes are pointing to the right. Lengthen through the arms and bend your front knee so that it's directly over your front heel. This pose can strengthen and build endurance in the legs and outer hips.

Boat pose. Boogich/Getty Images

Sit on your mat and extend your legs in front of you. Bend your knees and lift your feet off the floor so that your shins are parallel to the floor. Extend your arms so they are parallel as well and hold for 30 seconds. This pose will strengthen your hip flexors and abdominal muscles.

Plank pose. Jenna Masoud/Getty Images

Start on all fours, then step your feet back with your heels lifted. Strengthen through your arms as if you're about to do a pushup. Engage the core and hold for 30 seconds. This pose helps strengthen the core and burn belly fat.

You may think that weight loss seems to take forever. It is easy to start off feeling all charged up, but as more time progresses, it is often difficult for us to find any motivation to continue. However, it does not happen to everyone. There are people out there who have gotten rid of their weight and kept it that way. What can you do to accomplish the same thing?

Setting goals and understanding your motivations will help you stick to your routine. You need to figure out if you just want to lose a few pounds, or if you are planning to see significant changes in both weight and size. Is your goal to get the most energy through a daily work out routine? What is your ideal end result?

Record your weekly progress. Use a journal to keep track of your weight weekly. In another section of the same book, keep a journal of the food that you are eating. Jot down exactly what you consume daily so that you just how many calories you are eating. The simple task of writing it down can prevent you from making poor choices in foods.

Its never a good idea to make your food choices when you are starving. Therefore, you should plan ahead what you are going to eat. Have some healthy snacks with you at all times. Bringing your own lunch is healthier and cheaper.

Losing weight starts with both healthy eating and frequent exercise. Some people find that it is challenging to follow a fitness routine despite having no problem with changing their eating habits. Working out with a friend and finding routines that are fun can make working out easier. If you need to, you can combine the two and find an exercise that you and a friend would both enjoy.

Get rid of all the unhealthy food from your kitchen. You cannot eat food that you do not have, so be sure to keep only healthy foods in your pantry that will help you remain slim. This will make it difficult to have the foods that are bad for you within easy access, which means you will not eat as much of them.

Appeal to your friends. Tell them you need their support in your efforts to lose weight. While losing the weight is ultimately up to you, keeping friends around who can help and support you is a great way to maintain motivation, especially when you may be in danger of quitting your program. These are the people you should lean on when you are right on the brink of giving up. Friends can help you while you are trying to lose weight.

By Roberta H. Anding, M.S., Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Childrens HospitalEdited by Kate Findley, The Great Courses DailyFeeling full when eating has a lot to do with volume of food rather than number of calories. Photo by Pixel-Shot / ShutterstockWhat Makes Our Stomach Feel Full?

The stomach plays a powerful role in satiating our hunger and helping us feel full. In our stomach, we dont have a calorie sensor. We cant say, Okay, that was a 500-calorie meal.

What the stomach does have is a volume sensor so we can sense volume, and volume of food makes us feel full. In this age of energy bars and foods that contain a lot of calories in a small amount of food, some researchers believe that one factor contributing to the obesity epidemic is eating a lot of foods that dont have much volume.

We never trigger these volume receptors in our stomach to say, Im done. I dont need any more food. Thus, the challenge for us is to create more volume in our meals.

This goal can be accomplished through foods that are high in water volume. Fruits, vegetables, soup, yogurt, and milk are 80 percent to 90 percent water, on average. These high water volume foods stretch your stomach and the volume receptors are activated, sending chemicals to your brain that induce satietya feeling of fullness.

For example, if you received five large apples and were told to eat them in one afternoon, you would probably say, I cant eat five large apples. Thats way too much food. Your eyes are telling you that the volume is too great.

However, if you were given a king-size bag of M&Ms, youd probably say, I could eat that if you were being honest. The truth is, the amount of calories in the bag of M&Ms and the five apples is the same.

Its only the volume in the two offerings of food that is different. Additionally, foods such as apples take longer to chew than, say, M&Ms.

Because youre taking longer to eat the food and exerting more effort into the eating process, then psychologically you feel more satisfied. Eating a meal with added complexity, such as a salad, is great because it forces you to slow down even more.

It allows you to mindfully process your food (as opposed to the mindless binging that often occurs when we are snacking and engaged in other tasks) and chew and savor your food. The effect is not just psychological but physiologicalyou are giving your digestive system time to absorb the food and signal to your brain that you are full.

Thus, eating foods such as fruits and vegetables, which take up larger volumes,can greatly aid in weight management as you achieve the feeling of fullness while reducing your caloric intake. As an added bonus, many of these foods are higher in vitamins and minerals than their low-volume counterparts (cookies, candy, etc.), leading to greater overall health.

Time to hit the weight room.

Exercise is that magic little pill everyone is looking for -- you know, the one that makes you lose weight, boosts your mood and generally improves your life. Weightlifting in particular can foster scores of benefits, both physical and emotional.

Despite the vox populi that lifting weights makes you "bulk up" (it doesn't, ladies), it can actually help you lose weight and slim down. Beyond the purely physical, lifting weights can improve your bone health and increase your metabolism, just to name a couple of benefits.

For those curious about weightlifting but boggled with questions, I rounded up some of the most common questions about lifting weights that I hear as a personal trainer and CrossFit coach. By the end of this guide, I hope you're ready to pick up some dumbbells (or a couple of wine bottles) and start building muscle.

Any form of exercise can help you lose weight, weightlifting included -- as long as you burn more calories than you consume each day, you'll remain in a calorie deficit and lose weight.

Lifting weights has a unique weight-loss advantage that makes it superior to other forms of exercise for weight loss: When you lift weights, you build muscle and lose fat. Muscle tissue is more metabolically active than fat tissue, so over time, as you build more muscle, your body will burn more calories at rest than it did before you built that muscle.

This results in a greater resting metabolic rate (your metabolism when you're just sitting or sleeping) and more calories burned each day. It's not an incredibly significant difference, despite long-standing myths, but it does help.

Just know that lifting weights isn't a magic ticket to weight loss: You must sustain a calorie deficit over time, so if you're lifting every day but still eating more calories than you burn, you won't see the progress you want.

Your goals dictate whether you should hit the weights or hop on the treadmill first.

This really depends on your goals. In simplest terms, lift weights first if your primary goal is to build muscle or get stronger. Do cardio first if your primary goal is to build speed or endurance.

In reality, the question of "weights or cardio first?" requires individualized answers, but you can't go wrong with a balanced approach that includes both weights and cardio throughout the week. You don't have to do both at every gym session.

Read more: Double the benefits of exercise by exercising outside

It's beneficial to lift both light and heavy weights.

This, too, depends on your goals. One really isn't better than the other unless you're aiming for a very specific goal. For example, if I wanted to compete in a powerlifting competition, where the barbell back squat is one of the main events, I would lift heavy most of the time.

If I wanted to run a marathon, I would lift light weight for a lot of reps to get my heart rate up and train my legs to handle stress for longer periods of time. If you don't have a specific goal in mind, you can benefit from lifting heavy and light weights.

The number of reps you do depends on what type of exercise you're doing, and whether you want to increase strength or endurance.

Oh look, another question to which the answer depends on your goals. Catching a theme? The answer to "how many reps should I lift?" coincides with your answer to "Is it better to lift light or heavy weights?" because of one simple reason -- if you're lifting light weights, you should be doing more reps.

Endurance-based goals like improving your running capacity require more reps at lower weights, while strength-based goals like maxing out your deadlift require fewer reps at higher weights. Goals with both endurance and strength components -- like running an obstacle course race -- require both types of training.

You can get fit with other forms of exercise, such as running and hiking, but lifting weights can help speed up the process.

Sure thing! Lifting weights is a fantastic way to build muscle mass, get stronger and become healthier overall. But if dumbbells and barbells just aren't your jam, you can certainly get fit with bodyweight workouts.

High-intensity interval training is one (extremely effective) way to do so. You can get your HIIT fix with a workout subscription app, a free YouTube channel or even from your favorite trainers on Instagram.

Lifting weights is a great way for older adults to get in shape and fend off diseases.

Not only can older adults lift weights, they should lift weights to maintain their health and fend off degenerative conditions like osteoporosis. Lifting weights in middle-age and beyond can really amp up your health and fitness: You'll combat age-related muscle loss, reduce your risk for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, fend off chronic disease and improve your overall quality of life. What's not to like?

It's often best to stick to the basics.

Basic is best. Try not to get too into the weeds when deciding what weightlifting moves to add to your routine. The basic compound movements, such as lunges, squats, deadlifts and overhead presses, will get the job done.

As you get more advanced, you can start adding more isolation and accessory work, but CNET's guide to the exercises everyone needs to get strong should get you started on the right track.

And if you sit at a desk all day, try these moves to loosen up your joints and finish up with some stretches to counteract all that sitting.

Lifting weights in interval-training fashion, like you would at Orangetheory Fitness, can improve your endurance.

Totally. There's a somewhat common misconception that all weightlifters are gnarly masses of pure muscle with 400 pounds on their barbell (cue grunting sounds), but that's not at all true. Many athletes -- both recreational and professional -- lift weights as a supplement to their training regimen.

Lifting weights can improve your muscular endurance more than pure cardio can. I, for example, perform high-volume (lower weights, more reps) when training for half-marathons, marathons or adventure races. My running capacity has significantly increased since I started incorporating strength training, and I'm much more confident when tackling hills.

High-intensity weightlifting programs such as CrossFit can also help you build endurance, both muscular and cardiovascular, as can anaerobic fitness classes when weights or plyometrics are involved..

Quite honestly, you don't need much, especially if you're just starting out. The absolute essentials? A pair of dumbbells and a yoga mat. This combo will get you far: You can use dumbbells for upper body, lower body and core moves, and a yoga mat will add cushion for movements that require you to put your knees or elbows on the ground.

A few more things, such as a kettlebell, can add more variety to at-home weightlifting workouts. You can even lift weights with objects you already have at home.

Simon Cowell has been on an impressive weight loss journey over the past year, but what did he do and how much weight has he lost?

As Britain's Got Talent returns to screens, people have been quick to compliment judge Simon Cowell on his slender new figure.

Simon, 60, has lost just over a stone and a half since he changed his lifestyle and diet, and is looking great for it.

READ MORE: Who is Simon Cowell's girlfriend Lauren Silverman and how many children does she have?

But how did the star drop the weight, was he on a diet, and what did he look like before?

The music mogul is believed to have lost a huge 20lbs since her changed his diet and lifestyle.

In an interview with The Sun, Simon told them: "The most dramatic period was the first month where most of the weight comes off and you look at yourself and think wow.

I used to be 36 inch waist and now Ive lost four inches. Im really happy now."

Simon is believed to have lost weight by cutting out sugar in his diet entirely, as well as cutting down on his meat intake.

Talking about his diet, Simon said that you have to keep "the food sensible", but that it's also has to be interesting and tasty to make it "surprisingly easy".

He explained: "All I do is avoid just red meat - white meat is fine - and I eat loads of vegetables, salads and drink this great beer.

If youre on a diet you have to keep the food sensible, but its got to be interesting and tasty, then the diets surprisingly easy."

He added: "Im on a diet but it doesnt feel like it now because the food I eat is really healthy and I dont find it tedious. If its boring you wont stick to it.

This summer, Simon showed off the extent of his weight loss as he was pictured on holiday with his family in Barbados.

Walking along the beach with his son Eric and partner Lauren Silverman, the X factor star looked slender and confident with his new physique.

The activist group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), has a suggestion to help Thor lose weight ahead of the upcoming film Thor: Love and Thunder. PETA suggests that director Taika Waititi uses a vegan die to explain how Thor could drop the weight from Avengers: Endgame to be back in fighting shape for Love and Thunder. A press release from PETA explains that going vegan would both "explain any weight loss and be a natural extension of his compassion for life on Earth." Plus, it would further the organization's goal of eliminating "speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview."

"Chris Hemsworth went vegan while filming the original Thor and The Avengers films, and other Marvel Cinematic Universe stars like Benedict Cumberbatch and Natalie Portman are powered by plants," said PETA Senior Vice President Lisa Lange in the press release. "PETA hopes Taika Waititi will have the god of thunder get in shape and save the planet by keeping animals off his plate."

Thor: Love and Thunder stars Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman. The movie, which will see Portman's Jane Foster pick up the hammer, is set for release in November, 20201. Below, read the letter PETA sent to Thor: Love and Thunder director Taika Waititi offering their suggestion.

Dear Taika,

We understand that you have a bit of a weight problem on your hands, and PETA is here to help. As we all remember, Thor packed on a few pounds in Avengers: Endgame, so the question consuming Marvel fans across the Nine Realms is how our favorite thunder god will return to his Ragnarockin' bod in your upcoming film, Thor: Love and Thunder. We suggest taking a page from Chris Hemsworth's own playbook and exploring what would happen if Thor tried going vegan.

According to his personal trainer, Hemsworth went vegan while filming the original Thor and Avengers films, developing a particular taste for beans and veggie burgers. Perhaps if Thor took the Bifrost Bridge to our world, he might get inspired by plant-based Avengers, Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange) and Natalie Portman (Jane Foster) and that battle armor would start fitting a little more comfortably.

If Thor is serious about protecting the Earth, going vegan makes a lot of senseaxing animal products from his diet could save more than 1,000 gallons of water, 20 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions, and 30 square feet of forest each day as well as the lives of nearly 200 animals a year! By having Thor go vegan, you could easily explain his restored physique while hammering home the benefits of a plant-based diet.

Just some food for thought

Best regards,
