To start getting in shape at home, you will 100% need a mat. There were two different kinds recommended to me: a yoga mat and a jump mat. The latter being a bit thicker and used for more intense exercises like plyometrics and core work. It can also double as a yoga mat if you prefer a little more cushioning. Olivia Young, a certified yoga teacher and founder of NYC studio Box + Flow had this to say, "I like to sweat, so if Im purchasing a mat for in-home use, that means heat on high. I personally love the Lululemon Reversible 5 MM mat. Its extra absorbent and is so comfortable you can use it on any type of floor."

There's also the question of where your mat placement. If you have enough room in your bedroom, it can work. But experts will tell you to try and make the living room a space for fitness and leave the bedroom for sleeping. Robert Lemus, professional bodybuilder and editor of Simple Fitness Hub, recommends converting your living room into a workout space, "With a few quick changes, your living room can be converted into a home gym. Move big furniture to the side of the room, allowing you enough space to stand and have a yoga mat on the ground. This can be an excellent space to workout, especially if you like to exercise while binge watching Netflix."

The jump mat should be placed in an area that allows for plenty of range of motion. Fitness and nutrition experts Ryan and Alex, who "have been working out from home for the better part of a decade nearly every day," recommended this jump mat for more intense workouts like P90X and other plyometric programs. Daily Burn's Director of Fitness, Amanda Murdock, recommended the eco-friendly prAna mat, and as for me? I've owned a nice little $13 mat for three years (great for morning and evening yoga practices, but admittedly, I keep my workouts simple).

Exercise at Home: How to Create The Best Home Gym on a Budget - Thrillist

Some of the world's biggest cities have been put under full or partial lockdown to slow the spread of coronavirus.

While Scott Morrison continues to avoid implementing a widespread lockdown, many Australians are facing self-isolation for 14 days after either returning from overseas or contact with confirmed cases.

The Prime Minister has however insisted Australians only leave their homes if necessary, and millions of others are now working from home.

Bond Universitys Associate Professor of Exercise and Sports Science, Dr Justin Keogh, tells Yahoo News Australia his top tips for keeping fit and healthy while in isolation.

If you are working from home or in self isolation, try to limit your sitting time as best as possible. The more you are standing the better for your overall health and fitness.

If you have a smartwatch, use that to track your steps and try to maintain a high percentage of what you would normally cover.

If you usually do 10,000 steps in a day, see if you can get as close to those numbers as possible on a regular basis. Whether walking around the backyard or in a safe space, its important to keep the body moving.

Get outside in your backyard if you have one - and look for opportunities to be active. If you have kids, find ways to be active with them. All incremental exercise will help.

Bodyweight exercises can be really effective in maintaining your health and fitness. This includes things like push-ups, squats, sit to stand exercises and lunge patterns.

If you can do a chin-up or prone row where you pull yourself up towards an object, these are great exercises.

Other options include isometrics -- where you contract your muscles just like a bodybuilder posing.Wrestling with your kids is also an easy way to keep active, engaged and is a good way to keep the whole family fit.

If we become more inactive and are working from home, the risk is well all be spending more time in the kitchen. Boredom and eating often go hand-in-hand.

It's important to be cautious of extra snacking and eating, because your calorie intake may increase as well.

Trying to maintain regular dietary intake and not increasing it is perhaps going to be a challenge for many parts of the community.

One way to help is to continue to buy your regular foods, its hard to eat cake and biscuits if you dont have them in your fridge or pantry.

There are free resources online that people can use, and having some variety is going to be important if any lockdown is ongoing.

There are plenty of exercise programs, instructions on how to exercise safely and ways to mix up your training online. It is important to set goals and diversify your training so you dont get bored.

Our national body Exercise and Sport Science Australia (ESSA) have recently released information on this topic that includes links to the Exercise Right at Home program that provides a range of free workout videos for strength training, aerobic exercise and fall prevention exercises that can be easily done at home, which is availablehere.

You might not be able to see your friends and extended family like youd like, but it can be really beneficial to still be in contact with them.

If you can incorporate them virtually, through Facetime or video conferencing, they can be involved in your exercise session.

Its a great source of motivation having them involved.

The social isolation can be a massive issue and any way you can involve other people, the better for your general health and wellbeing.

Coronavirus isolation: Six things to remember for a healthier body and mind - Yahoo News Australia

Over the last week or so I have been social distancing in the face of the COVID-19 virus. Its the right thing to do, especially since Im in a vulnerable age group.

As we all know, seniors are not able to access their usual haunts (seniors centres, coffee shops, recreation centres and the libraries) and they cannot see their family and friends as much.

I asked colleagues, friends and family for coping strategies especially for people who do not have access to electronic devices and the internet. Bonus: This meant I was in touch with lots of people which helped me deal with my own need to socialize and stay connected.

Many people said keeping busy was crucial. Sitting around a lot might bring on anxiety, stress and social isolation. Try organizing your day by setting an agenda which includes exercise, changing or upping your usual cleaning schedule, eating a regular, healthy diet, staying socially connected, trying something different or finishing those projects that you started and never finished.

While it might seem like fun sitting around in your pajamas all day, keep up your routine by showering and dressing for the day in the morning.

Of course, keep up the old solitary activities like reading, watching your favourite shows on television and gardening. You could clean a closet, sort and organize photos, shred old papers and listen to the recording that you received for your birthday and never listened to all the way through. Consider these activities as stay at home fun activities and dont feel guilty about binge watching a Netflix series.

Try though, not to obsessively watch television or listen to the radio about the current situation too much information can be stressful and not always very helpful.

While we cannot go to the gym or attend our regular exercise classes we can get outside for a walk, in fact everyone is encouraged to so if possible and you are able. I have been walking but keeping my distance (two metres is suggested).

But I have also been trying to be social, smiling and nodding to people and maybe having a short distance conversation. We are so fortunate on the North Shore to have so many walking trails.

For instance, try the Spirit Trail, the West Vancouver Seawall, the Kings Mill Walk, the Maplewood Conservation Area or just walk in your neighbourhood. If you cant get out, perhaps create an exercise program in your house, dust off that old exercise bike and check out exercise programs on TV.

One of the best ways to stay connected is the good old-fashioned telephone. Try phoning a friends and family regularly. Maybe get in touch with an old out of touch friend. Find out if they need anything or just have a good chin wag.

Many seniors centres and groups are setting up phone trees or other programs to keep in touch with their members and participants. Check out the centres you went to before the virus hit if you want a regular call or you want to volunteer to phone people. To find out how to reach these groups and organizations look for the new 2020 Seniors Directory created by the North Shore Community Resources Society and published by the North Shore News.

The directory can be found on-line at nscr.ca. Also, because the Red Cross Equipment Loan program is open for business at 600 West Queens Rd., you can get a guide there.

Another way to stay socially connected is to write some letters to people by hand and let them know you will write back quickly. Drop your letters off at the good old mail- box down the street

If you use an electronic device such as a tablet or smartphone perhaps set up a photo exchange, weekly book club reading group, play Scrabble or other online games with friends and Skype or Facetime regularly. Use email and texting, but perhaps write longer emails and ask for responses.

The goal of social distancing is to eventually stop the spread of the virus. The goal for us as seniors when we are practicing social distancing is to stay hopeful, busy and still, somehow, socially connected.

I dont usually quote celebrities, but Ryan Reynolds, our homegrown Canadian star, aptly stated recently: Take care of your bodies and hearts. Leave room for joy. Call someone whos isolated and might need connection.

Margaret Coates is the co-ordinator of Lionsview Seniors Planning Society. She has lived on the North Shore for 50 years and has worked for and with seniors for 25 of those years. Ideas for future columns are welcome Email: lions_view@telus.net.

ElderCircle was awarded funding to help older adults maintain active living and independence.

The Community Foundation provided ElderCircle with several grants during our Annual Grant Cycle, says Sarah Copeland, Grand Rapids Area Community Foundation Director of Grants and Programs. Their services and professional staff make it possible for many of our older citizens to remain independent and healthy. This week, we will talk about ElderCircles Bone Builders S.A.I.L. program.

Bone Builders Stay Active & Independent for Life (S.A.I.L.)

Bone Builders is a no-impact exercise program for older adults to increase strength, flexibility and balance, all of which can prevent falls and prevent or reverse osteoporosis. Bone Builders also provides socialization for older adults who may otherwise be isolated and lonely.

In 2020, ElderCircle will transition Bone Builders to Stay Active & Independent for Life (S.A.I.L.), which is very similar to Bone Builders but adds aerobics. SAIL is evidence-based which means it is scientifically proven to produce intended results. It is designed for active older adults to maintain activity levels and prevent or delay the effects of aging, and for frail or less active adults to increase/regain their activity levels.

The twice-weekly sessions include slow-moving light arm and leg weight exercises to build muscle and increase bone density, balance and stretching exercises to increase mobility, flexibility and energy. SAIL includes 18-20 minutes of aerobics to exercise the bodys most important muscle, the heart, and to raise oxygen levels in the body.

Bone Builders brings exercise, education and socialization to 14 outlying communities in rural Bigfork, Bowstring, Deer River, Dora Lake, two sites in Grand Rapids, Hill City, Jacobson, Northome, Lawrence Lake, Nashwauk, Pengilly, Togo, and Wabana. During January-June 2019, 277 participants attended 5,633 sessions, and the average participant age was 73. There is no cost for participants and sessions are led by volunteers age 55+.

Respondents in a June 2019 survey reported improved balance (87% of respondents), increased physical strength (92%), improved flexibility (88%), and increased energy (82%) all of which indicate Bone Builders has a positive impact on the health and well-being of participants.

ElderCircle received two grants for the Stay Active & Independent for Life (S.A.I.L.) program (formerly Bone Builders). The Endowed Sharing Fund provided $1,312 and Gibbons Family Donor Advised Fund provided a $500 grant.

Anyone can start a family Donor Advised Fund. Donor Advised Funds allow you make tax-deductible contributions whenever you want, and then advise the Community Foundation about where and how you want to give back.

Copeland adds, The Gibbons Family has two generations with each family member contributing at different times throughout the year. The family then gets together and determines where they want to give back. Its really neat when they join our Annual Grant Cycle. Everyone has done their homework, reading through grant applications, and then they talk about where they can do the most good.

The Grand Rapids Area Community Foundation has been connecting donors charitable intentions to community needs for over 25 years to make our Greater Itasca Area and the world a better place to live. We invite you to become part of the good work we do, and to include us in the conversation with your financial or estate planner to answer the question What good do you want your money to do?

Partners with WWE Superstar Becky Lynch to Develop Series of Peer-Led Workout Videos to Inspire Year-Round Fitness

WASHINGTON, March 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- For the first time in its over 50-year history, Special Olympics has created a fitness video series in partnership with WWE for Special Olympics athletes, led by Special Olympics athletes. Launched today, the School of Strength fitness campaign targets Special Olympics athletes in their teens and late 20s, and lives on http://www.SpecialOlympics.org. The fitness campaignfeatures four workout videos with varying levels of difficulty in flexibility, strength, balance and endurance exercises encouraging athletes to commit to a lifetime of fitness habits. Now, more than ever, all athletes, including those with intellectual disabilities, need to keep their bodies fit and strong in a challenging routine. The videos are accompanied by downloadable interactive toolkits for coaches and caregivers that feature recipes, a fitness tracker, games and health tips. The School of Strength campaign was created in response to Special Olympics athletes' requests for the development of more fitness resources that excite and inspire them to stay fit year-round, especially now, because like many other athletes, they aren't able to train or compete alongside their teammates.

This fun, engaging workout video series features WWE Superstar Becky Lynch in the ring alongside six Special Olympics athletes and trains them in a series of exercises to achieve varying levels of fitness, including Superstar Trainer, Champion Trainer and Master Trainer levels. Special Olympics athletes selected to participate in this campaign and leading their fellow peers in exercise include: Angel Athenas (Special Olympics New York), Beth Donahue (Special Olympics Massachusetts), Stephanie Ching (Special Olympics Northern California), Vince Egan (Special Olympics Colorado), Gerarado De La Cerda (Special Olympics Southern California) and Greg Demer (Special Olympics Southern California). Exercises demonstrated in the videos include warm-ups exercises such as arm circles and leg swings, endurance exercises including mountain climbers and jumping jacks, balance exercises including leg lifts and half-kneeling chops and strength exercises including power push-ups and super squats.

"The goal is for everyone, no matter your fitness level, to benefit from these videos," said WWE Superstar Becky Lynch. "It's important to me to join this campaign and support those who are breaking barriers for inclusion."

Special Olympics fitness programs focus on physical activity, hydration and nutrition and offer year-round fitness clubs, fitness challenges for friends and families as well as wellness classes. The School of Strength campaign is the latest addition in a selection of fitness resources created for Special Olympics athletes.

The School of Strength campaign resources augment the Fit 5resource series developed in 2017 to educate and empower athletes to live a healthy lifestyle with the promotion of fitness cards, videos, and a guide that emphasizes exercising 5 days per week, eating 5 total fruits and vegetables per day and drinking 5 bottles of water per day. Both the Fit 5 resources and the School of Strength campaign support a Unified approach to fitness where people with intellectual disabilities can join their friends and family members for workouts in their homes or on the go. To date, the Fit 5 resources have been utilized by over 50 Special Olympics Programs in at least 36 countries. Special Olympics fitness programming has demonstrated strong impacts on health outcomes:

"Fitness plays a vital role in both physical and mental health as well as sports performance. Our athletes are fierce competitors who should have the same opportunities as everyone else to be active, workout, and eat healthy. We are changing the face of inclusive health by giving our athletes opportunities to enhance their fitness even while we are all physically distanced from each other," said Dr. Alicia Bazzano, Chief Health Officer, Special Olympics. "People withintellectual disabilitydieon average 16 years earlier than those withoutintellectual disability due to preventable causes. We know that becoming and staying fit can reduce those gaps. The School of Strength campaign is a fantastic asset that encourages our athletes to not only stretch their fitness goals, but stay committed to their health journeys during these tough times."

About Special Olympics Special Olympics is a global inclusion movement using sport, health, education and leadership programs every day around the world to end discrimination against and empower people with intellectual disabilities.Founded in 1968, Special Olympics movement has grown to more than 6 million athletes and Unified Sports partners in over190 countries.

A panel of four speakers U-M Senior Associate AD and Chief Health and Welfare Officer Darryl Conway, Michigan Director of Performance Nutrition Caroline Mandel and U-M Assistant Director/Clinical Assistant Professor in the School of Social Work Abigail Eiler joined a live webinar this morning to discuss the wellbeing of the Michigan Wolverines' student-athletes during their time away from sports due to the coronavirus.

Associate Athletic Director Kurt Svoboda hosted the event, and presented several questions from listeners to the panel regarding the current state of Michigan's athletes and their training programs.

All competitions and practices have officially been canceled through April 21," Svoboda reiterated.

"Anything after that will be decided upon in the future. Right now, April 21 is the date that is on the books.

It was announced on March 12 that U-M had terminated the remainder of its winter and spring sports seasons, with the NCAA revealing that senior athletes who fell into the latter category would be allowed to return next season across the country.

The cancelation of all active sports events undoubtedly came as a shock to many, with student-athletes not even being allowed into Michigan's athletic buildings at the current time.

Signs have been placed on all the doors of the aforementioned buildings around campus clearly prohibiting access.

We did our best to attend every single team meeting to provide support on the spot during the grieving process," Eiler revealed.

"In addition to that, we have made a conscious effort to reach out to all the student-athletes we were currently working with to continue establishing ongoing care, whether that be face-to-face appointments or checking in with people remotely.

"One of the access-related issues that has definitely come up has been being able to reach people across state lines.

"Our athletes are all over the globe, so weve been providing them with support and linking them to care if they need it.

"Weve done our best to check in and see how our student-athletes are doing and walk them through this transition in their lives, because it has been very difficult for some.

Prohibiting access to Michigan's athletic facilities doesn't mean its athletes aren't still training though.

The various strength and conditioning coaches of U-M's sports teams are still working with their athletes from afar, and presenting them with workouts to do from home.

Our strength coaches have worked hard to develop home exercise programs for them," Conway revealed.

"Its amazing what you can do with body weight, a simple can of soup or a textbook, or different items from a pantry or in your house.

"You can lift various things in and around your garage as well. Weve been sending out rehab packs to student-athletes, so some have received recovery machines in order to help them with strength training.

"Our strength coaches are very good at devising ways to get things done. Student-athletes can still go outside, and there are always things around the house like bricks, tires and cinder blocks you can use."

The discussion will hopefully soon turn to what the plan will be once the student-athletes return to campus, though that arrival date still remains a mystery.

With the rest of spring classes being taken online and summer proceeding that, fall may be the earliest date the majority of athletes return to U-M.

Ive had a lot of conversations with our strength coaches, and have started talks with our coaches as well about not doing too much too fast [once the athletes return]," Conway explained.

"Itll be about having a good ramp up and a period to make sure theyre safe. Everyone communicating together will be even more important to make sure were giving athletes enough recovery time and not doing too much too soon.

"Well need to pay attention to what their bodies are telling them. Im hopeful this whole crisis completely changes how we do business on a daily basis for the better, especially at the University of Michigan.

"We didnt offer online classes before this, and now all of them for the next six months will be online.

"Will that wake people up and say we can offer online classes now? It has been proven some companies can now work remotely and get the same amount of work done from home, so all of this makes me very hopeful."

We all strive and work hard to reach our ideal body weight. However, losing weight should not be the only goal of your weight loss regimen. Your body weight is not only ruled by the amount of fat, but also muscle mass, bone mass and metabolism. This is where the difference between weight loss and fat loss lies. Your workout should work on losing the extra fat in your body.Weight lossThe body weight is a sum of your muscle mass, fat mass, body water and also bone mass. Losing weight can sometimes backfire if not supported with a proper diet. Crash diets and other shortcuts may lead to a loss in muscle mass instead of fat mass. It may show fast results in the beginning, but your weight will shoot right back up the moment you leave exercising.Fat lossIt is important that your workout adds muscle mass too. Too much body fat stores unwanted water and calories which makes you feel out of shape. However, some amount of fat is required for the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and provide a cushioning to internal organs. Be regular with your exercise and reduce the number of calories you consume to make sure you lose fat mass.Signs that you are losing muscle massIf you do not substitute your workout with a proper diet or take to diets and shortcuts to lose weight, it can cause you to lose muscle mass instead of fat. Here are a few signs that you are losing muscle mass

Regular workouts feel harder to complete You feel sluggish throughout the day Lower endurance You have poor balance You weight is stuck at one point

Here is how you can ensure that you do not lose out on the important muscle mass and get rid of only the fat in the body.

Exercising is not the only solutionIt is important to maintain a proper diet when you have a regular workout routine. Eating less is not the answer. Instead, eat a balanced diet that gives the body enough nutrition to help muscles recover after your workout. If you do not eat well, you may lose muscle strength and eventually lose muscle mass as well.

Dr Priyanka Rohatgi, Chief Clinical Dietician, Apollo hospital, Bangalore, says, "One of the best ways to keep yourself safe from coronavirus is by boosting your immunity. Starving for longer periods along with dehydration is an invitation to infection, as it lowers the immunity, which makes you vulnerable to the infection.

She adds, "If you are planning to fast, make sure not to stay hungry for long. Eat fruits, nuts, drink buttermilk, tender coconut water and infused water to keep yourself hydrated, which is of paramount importance".

Dr Priyanka also suggests an amazing HEAD START advise for lockdown Navratri fasting:

H - Hydrate well.

E - Eat smaller, lighter and fresh foods.

A - Adequate sleep is essential.

D - Dried fruits and nuts to keep you satiated well.

S - Some seinda namak in your butter milk.

T - Take breaks from screen time.

A - Add up proteins to fast meals by including some curd, milk, chenna.

R - Rehydrate with one glass of water every one hour with a dash of citrus fruit like oranges, lemons, sweet lime in it.

T - Try some turmeric in milk at bedtime.

Indiana's obesityrate is the 12th highest in the U.S., and beyond impacting individuals health, this statistic costs the entire state economically.

In fact, its estimated that obesity costs Indiana more than $8.5 billion a year in missing work, low productivity, healthcare costs, and premature death.

Two of the leading causes of obesity are what we eat and how much physical activity we get.

Tricia Smith and her husband, Scott, of Warsaw have developed what they hope becomes a more holistic approach for any northeast Indiana resident looking to shed some weight in a safe and approachable way.

The Smiths opened Lake City Nutrition in Warsaw in September 2019 to meet a need they saw in the community for healthy meal replacement options and comprehensive lifestyle plans.

On the surface, Lake City Nutrition is a destination for healthy shakes, smoothies, and teas, with more than 100 flavors of protein shakes to choose from.

But while the Smiths have found that many residents are familiar with the popular protein shake trend, few know the nutritional value of shakes and how they can be effectively incorporated into a weight loss plan.

Lake City Nutrition offers fun new flavors every week.

Thats where Lake City Nutritions value comes into play. Along with serving drinks at their storefront, Lake City also helps clients create customized Herbalife Nutrition weight loss programs to fit their body types.

To do this, they partner with Herbalife Nutrition, a globalmulti-level marketingcorporation that develops and sells nutritional products, including health-and-wellness supplements for weight management, personal care, general wellness, and sports performance.

Once Lake City Nutrition clients create profiles online, a personalized guide is generated for them based on their profile and wellness goals.

The companys shake products are then shipped to their door or can be picked up at Lake City Nutritions storefront.

Lake City Nutrition also offers Herbalife wellness coaches who guide clients through the plan and are available to answer any questions and provide support. Tricia and Scott are wellness coaches themselves and help clients reach their desired weight, offer advice and give encouragement throughout the process.

Tricia says that she and Scott are living proof of the programs success. She lost 38 pounds using the HerbaLife program.We fell in love with the products because of the change it made in our own lives, Tricia says. Not only did it change our physical appearance, but also how we felt. We just feel better, so we wanted to offer that to other people so they could experience the same thing.

Along with the effectiveness of the protein shake approach to weight loss, another reason Tricia likes this approach is because it helps clients un-learn some of the unhealthy starvation practices they might have tried to lose weight in the past.

Back when I was a teenager, the thought was the less you eat, the faster the weight will come off, but thats not true, Tricia says. I have learned through my experience that you need to be getting enough protein because, otherwise, your body will go into starvation mode and hold onto fat. So it is important that youre feeding your body and keeping your nutrition good. Otherwise, your body has nothing to go on.

Lake City Nutritions shakes are based on a unique formula that contains several health benefits, Tricia explains. One shake contains about 250 calories or fewer, 17 grams of protein, 21 vitamins and minerals, 10 grams of sugar, 10-15 grams of carbs and 4 grams of fiber for complete nutritional value.

In addition to its menu of protein shakes, herbal tea, and aloe products, Lake City Nutrition also offers a variety of creative, active classes for its members, such as cardio drumming.

In the future, they hope to move locations so they can host active events once a month to increase community involvement and encourage healthy living, Tricia says.
