The start of a new year is always a popular time to hit the gym and try to get healthier.

Dr. Christopher Weber, a specialist in internal medicine and bariatric medicine at Ascension Columbia St. Mary's at Germantown, said exercise and losing weight is "always at the top of the list" of new year's resolutions he hears from patients.

He said newcomers to exercise, or people beginning a workout routine after an extended time away from physical activity should start slowly.

"You don't want to do too much to start with because then you're at risk of overuse injuries and things like that," Weber said.

Weber said the ideal chunk of time you should devote to exercise each week is probably smaller than you think.

He said a great start to getting healthier is walking.

"The general recommendation for exercise is 150 minutes per week of moderate intensity activity, like walking, so pretty simple, but fast enough that your heart rate goes up."

Weber said it's good to gradually work your way up to resistance training with elastic bands.

"The American College of Sports Medicine also recommends doing two days of resistance training a week, and what that means is something that stresses your muscles a little bit," Weber said.

There are three basic exercises someone looking to get back into shape can do he said: body-weight squats, elastic band rows, or elastic band pushes.

Start by aiming for two or three sets of 12-15 repetitions of each exercise.

Weber said a little muscle soreness after performing such exercises is normal, but any joint or bone pain is a red flag.

Proper form is critical to avoiding injuries - especially in people new to exercise. He said most gyms have personal trainers and/or fitness professionals on hand who can walk people through proper form.

"Good form keeps all the joints in line, and it puts stress on the muscles, and not on your joints."

For example, it's important to tighten your core/midsection area and not lean too far forward when performing body weight squats.

"Anytime you're using the legs, you want to be careful with your lower back," Weber said. "When you lean too far forward, you can have your lower back doing the work, and not your legs."

Weber also mentioned that good nutrition, not rigorous exercise, is much more effective as a way to lose weight.

He said some people tend to crave more food, and eat more, when they begin to exercise.

"Get away from sugar. Get away from fast food," Weber said.

He noted most reputable "diets," such as intermittent fasting, The Whole30, or the Keto Diet, can be effective.

"All of them work, so it's all about which one can you stick with," Weber said.

He also said "studies show it's hard, almost impossible, to out-exercise a sedentary lifestyle."

Weber said a 30 to 60 minute workout is not likely to offset an inactive rest of the day.

"Focus on minimizing your sedentary time," Weber said. "Get up, move around as much as you can throughout the day, and if you want to add the exercise into your daily routine later, absolutely do that. But you've got to do both of them."

Weber also said, even if it's not a quick way to lose weight, the benefits of exercising are bountiful.

"Exercise is the most magical treatment we have for all sorts of things," Weber said. "You want to sleep better, have a better move, prevent chronic diseases and some cancers, all of that stuff is linked to exercise," he said.

WHEN losing weight is top of your To Do list - you might think pizza is off the menu.

But a diet guru has debunked that myth, and is urging anyone on a diet to treat themselves now and again.

4

Terri-Ann Nunn said: "Pizza is often peoples favourite naughty treat and its true that this food type can be very calorific and high in fat.

"However, living a healthy lifestyle is definitely not about swearing off your favourite foods completely and actually, enjoying a slice of pizza now and again is not going to stop you from losing weight.

"The key is to be smart about it, and work out swaps and tricks to still get your favourite pizza treat with less of the guilt.

"The result? You definitely can eat pizza and still lose weight."

Here, Terri-Ann,the expert and founder behind the popularTerri-Ann123 Diet Plan, takes us through the best healthy swaps so you can enjoy a pizza next time you're out - with none of the guilt.

Pizza Express has a Leggera menu which contains 12 tasty pizzas that are all under 600 calories.

They're served as a ring of wholemeal, white and spelt dough with a hole in the middle filled with fresh, dressed salad.

The pizzas include chicken, goats cheese and caramelised onion, pepperoni and vegan options.

4

Terri-Ann recommends going for the Wholemeal Leggera Padana which contains 587 calories - this is in contrast to the Romana Padana which has 1,108 calories.

Both pizzas are covered in goat's cheese, caramelised onion and spinach - but one has half the calories.

Cheap and cheerful, Wetherspoons is a go-to for those of us who don't want to spend a fortune on a meal out.

However, you might want to avoid munching on a ham and mushroom 11 inch pizza if you're on a diet - as you'd be consuming a staggering 1,134 calories.

On the other hand, Terri-Ann urges slimmers to pick the ham and mushroom eight inch pizza - as you'd slash your calorie intake to 567 calories.

Prezzo offers two smaller and lighter pizzas which come served with a side salad.

They come in goat's cheese and aubergine and chicken primavera, which has just 524 calories.

This is the perfect option for those people trying to lose weight - unlike the restaurant's posh pepperoni pizza which has 1,242 calories.

This takeaway pizza giant at long last launched a low-calorie option for those people on a diet last year.

They unveiled the Delight, which weighs in at under 650 calories a pop - perfect if you're trying to lose weight.

Each small slice contains 100 calories, and is made using Domino's signature dough stretched into a thin base and topped with reduced-fat mozzarella.

4

There's both a veggie option and a chicken one, with both boasting a load of crunchy mixed peppers, sweetcorn, tomatoes and chopped onions.

Another option to lower your calorie-intake that Terri-Ann has picked out is the Vegi Classic personal pizza which has 499 calories.

This is three times less calories than if you picked the American Hot large pizza.

Zizzi has a whole section on their menu dedicated to 'skinny pizzas' - which are all under 600 calories.

One Terri-Ann has picked out is the Zizzi Skinny Primavera which has just 521 calories.

On the other hand, if you were to go for the Primavera Rustica you'd be gorging on an excessive 1,339 calories.

ASK has two lighter menus - one for pasta and one for pizza.

Their Prima Light pizzas are "made with less dough and more rainbow", all coming in slightly smaller sizes and with a rainbow salad.

Terri-Ann recommends ordering a Light Caprina, covered in goat's cheese and rocket, which has just 382 calories.

Meanwhile, if you were to pick the standard Caprina pizza, you'd be more than doubling your calorie intake to 863 calories.

A family favourite, nowhere does a deep-pan pizza quite like Pizza Hut.

While you may want to avoid the cheese stuffed crust offerings if you want to shed body fat, you can still find a ton of dishes to order.

In particular, Terri-Ann suggests going for a Veggie Supreme Small Classic Sourdough pizza which contains 696 calories.

4

This is in contrast to the Veggie Supreme Large Garlic Butter Stuffed Crust pizza which comes in at a staggering 2,100 calories.

Pizza hut also has a menu full of flatbreads - all of which contain under 550 calories.

Sure, a flatbread isn't a stuffed crust pizza but they're close enough.

If you're not eating out but still craving pizza, Terri-Ann says you can make your own lighter version of a Domino's or Pizza Express at home.

When making your pizza, she recommends adding tomato puree, lower fat cheese or mozzarella and your favourite toppings to a wrap or pitta bread base for a lighter option.

Terri-Ann adds: "Weve all gotten to the end of eating a huge pizza and felt absolutely stuffed because the recommend portion size isnt the entire pizza.

She concludes: "The best way to sustain a healthy lifestyle is to feel as if you arent depriving yourself."

Carlos Hernandez, 34, always struggled with his weight. I was always a big kid and felt like other kids mocked me. I was embarrassed to run, and I could see my cheeks bounce up and down and my stomach wiggling, he says. In middle school, playing football helped keep his weight down. But bad grades and a tough home life led him to drop out of school, and his weight ballooned.

In his 20s, he spent most of his time partying, drowning himself in drugs, drinking, and eating fast food, and the scale hit over 200 pounds. Jack in the Box tacos can be your best friend and worst enemy, he says.

He married and had 2 kids, but never felt settled and found himself homeless, addicted to heavier drugs, and dragged down by his 250 pounds. I had to take a break to catch my breath simply from trying to tie my shoes, he says. In January 2019, Carlos went to the Salvation Army, where he found housing and resources that helped him get sober.

He started noticing that one of his roommatesthe one whod wake up at 5 AM to go runninglooked like he was getting really fit. Id look at myself in the mirror in the morning and all I saw was a huge belly and new stretch marks every day. I started asking him a ton of questions. Thats where he learned his roommate was running with Back on My Feet, a program that combats homelessness and addiction through running.

The first time Carlos went out with the group, I only ran for 200 feet and I was out of breath, he says. But he went back 3 times a week (a group requirement) for the next 3 months. And the weight started falling off. Losing weight can feel like a huge brick wall is in front of you. You can feel like, Whats the point? Im always going to be a fat person. But all you have to do to start is put one foot in front of the other, he says.

Six months later, he was down to 232 pounds, but knew that running was harder than it had to be because of my eating habits. So he started swapping fried foods for grilled ones, steamed veggies, salad and fruit. He did his first 5K with Back on My Feet last April, and hes remained sober, obtained his own housing, and landed two jobs at different restaurants. Many people like me have been in a really deep depression and hit rock bottom, he says. Getting a support team behind you that puts their hand out and says, Youre not alone, we can do this, saved my life.

How do you ensure you dont lose focus? I make it a point to track my weight loss journey as it keeps me motivated to stay on my fitness journey.

Whats the most difficult part of being overweight? Undoubtedly the hardest part of being overweight is how I felt lethargic and extremely tired all the time.

What are the lifestyle changes you made? I made a couple of lifestyle changes and made it a point to follow them strictly. Some of them are:

On a recent Instagram post, Led Zeppelins legendary vocalist Robert Plants latest photo has been revealed by Tuk Smith bassist Shane Rickerson.

As you can see in the picture below, Robert seemed to lose weight dramatically, and he doesnt look like he has the same strength as he had before. Most of the fans saddened by Roberts new appearance, considering it would get worse in the future.

Robert Plant was wearing a black t-shirt with black pants and gave an iconic pose for the camera. Robert is also showing how cool he is even with the huge weight loss.

Here is what Shane Rickerson said:

Good running into an old buddy today @robertplantofficial

A fan named Mikki added this comment:

Thats wild! I saw him in a couple of concerts when we were all young

Bob Harper from The Biggest Loser offered some frank advice about the best way to lose weight, plus shared his favorite workout move.

The fitness guru appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. His reboot of The Biggest Loser recently returned to television, but with a fresh twist. Instead of leaning on weight loss, Harper said the show will focus more on health and wellbeing.

Its not about getting skinny, its about getting healthy. You see people getting off medication, reversing their type 2 diabetes, lowering their blood pressure Were looking at changing the way that they eat, the way that they think and how they move their body, he told People. Telling them the importance of managing their stress and how important sleep is when it comes to weight loss. We really want to get that whole-body approach.

But when he appeared on WWHL, fans still wanted to know the best route to drop the pounds, plus what fitness move they could do to help them get fit.

When it comes to identifying just one fitness move, Harper says the squat is one of his favorites. Squats have been part of Harpers three favorite fitness moves for several years. He shot a how to video in 2012 demonstrating his three favorite fitness moves.

He had his workout companion demonstrate a good squat, which he also obliged on WWHL. The workout companion in the video demonstrated the squat using weight. Think about sinking your hips below your knees, he instructs as the companion dips down while holding a weight at chest level.

As the companion squats, he reminds her to keep her midline strong to avoid injury. Plus, Bodyweight stays in the heels and lower down, he instructs. He adds that one way to ensure the squats are done properly is to imagine someone standing in front of you as you squat down.

Host Andy Cohen later wanted to know if weight loss is possible without working out. Absolutely, he replied. Diet is 80% of the whole battle. It is what you put in your mouth on a daily basis. Cohen shares that whenever hes lost a significant amount of weight, its because hes changed his diet and reduced alcohol consumption.

Harper notices that Cohen is looking good. People think that they can go into a gym and just beat out a bad diet, Harper said. And its just not the case. Exercise is so good for you. But its not gonna give you the results that youre really looking for. Those results happen when youre in the gym.

Oops. Ah! In the kitchen, he corrected. Co-guest Teresa Giudice from The Real Housewives of New Jersey shared she adhered to a strict eating regime when she trained for her bikini fitness competition. I was bringing food with me everywhere, Giudice revealed. Cohen recalled, For an entire season, she wasnt drinking!

Harper adds that it takes that kind of discipline and dedication. A great body just doesnt happen. Its not because youve got good genes or any of those things. Giudice then shares that she loved Hapers workout videos in jail and got completely shredded. His response, Thats so hot.

After a week break, Tom Kerridge was back on our screens last night (Wednesday, February 5th) for his fourth episode of Lose Weight and Get Fit.

And this episode saw him take some rather unusual inspiration from none other than Dr. Seuss.

If you thought green eggs and ham were just stuff of books, think again! Find out how to make Toms version of the literary classic here.

Screenshot: Shredded ham hock in Lose Weight and Get Fit with Tom Kerridge E4 iPlayer

This recipe uses shredded ham hock as a healthier alternative to bacon, although Tom says it packs as much punch and flavour!

You will need 4 spring onions, 2 garlic cloves, 2 large handfuls of kale and spinach each, 4 eggs, a splash of single cream (around 25ml), 50g of peas. You will also need salt and pepper to flavour, along with bread (Tom uses wholegrain) and light vegetable spread.

For that extra finesse, Tom uses a grating of parmesan as a garnish. It comes in at just 410 calories per serving!

Step 1:Whack the shredded ham hock on a baking tray and pop in a preheated oven around 200 degrees, but watch to see if the temperature is too high, or if the meat is browning too quickly.

Step 2: Finely slice the spring onions and crush the garlic. Pop in a frying man with the melted light vegetable spread and fry until theyve softened.

Screenshot: Lose Weight and Get Fit with Tom Kerridge E4 iPlayer

Step 3: Remove the stalks from the kale and then finely slice. Add to the pan with the spring onions and fry until theyve softened once more.

Step 4: While frying, whisk up your eggs in a separate bowl. Season to taste and add the cream. Whisk again.

Step 5:Finely slice the spinach and add to the frying pan it takes much less time to soften, particularly when sliced.

Step 6: After a minute add the peas.

Step 7: Pour the eggs into the pan and cook for a minute or two. Fold the eggs gently through the green mixture.

Step 8: Remove the ham hock from the oven when it is suitably brown and crispy, in a bacon-esque way. Toast your bread.

Step 9:Time to assemble! Layer up the toast with the green egg mixture then the crispy ham on top. Add a grating of parmesan for some extra umami.

If youve ever had insomnia real insomnia rather than a single night of disturbed sleep youll know how utterly miserable and debilitating it is. I go through periods of it, and there is nothing worse than seeing every minute of the hours counting down to your daily alarm, knowing your chance for a bit of rest is vastly diminishing.

There is a reason why sleep deprivation is used as a form of torture. At its most severe, it can cause hallucinations, social withdrawal and disorientation; milder deprivation can cause irritability, difficulty concentrating and an increase in appetite.

Pharmaceutical sleep aids can make you groggy, and theyre not really a long-term solution, so there are a host of trackers and sleep aids springing up and claiming to be the solution to your sleep problem.

Modius Sleep is made by Belfast-based Neurovalens. The device aims to solve your sleep problems without the use of medication, helping you to fall asleep more quickly and wake less during the night.

You might remember Modius from the band that promised to help you lose weight. The device uses vestibular stimulation to stimulate your hypothalamus, which is essentially the control centre for your appetite, sleep and fatigue, among other things.

After Modius released the Modius Slim, the user feedback soon began to show another effect: a lot of users reported improved sleep too. That was something that rang a bell with me during my Modius Slim test, particularly when I used the headset before bed.

Modius Sleep works exactly the same way as the Modius Slim. The review version I got looks exactly the same as the original, too a lightweight plastic band although the Indiegogo campaign suggests there will be some aesthetic differences, with a darker band for the Sleep version. You place two electrodes on the bony bit behind your ear, connect the band and you are almost ready to go. The whole set-up needs an app too, and the Modius Life software includes the controls for the headset, the link for the community boards and the weight tracking.

The band connects via Bluetooth, and like the original, you have controls to alter the intensity of the stimulation. At 1, you barely feel it; a soft tingle behind your ears and a slight swaying sensation are all you notice. Dial it up to 10 and you will feel it, though, with a sensation that is like being flicked behind the ear with an elastic band and a swaying feeling that feels like you are on the deck of a ship.

Or at least thats the effect it had on me. It differs from person to person, and some people are more sensitive to it than others. Modius recommends that you stick to the lower levels to get used to the sensation before ramping things up.

It feels similar but apparently its not quite identical. According to the company that makes the band, Neurovalens, there are subtle differences in the stimulation that make it target sleep rather than specifically weight loss (although that could be a side effect of using the band as a sleep aid).

I used the original band for 30 minutes before switching over to the Sleep version. The electrode placement was the same I simply swapped the band but the effect of the Sleep band stimulation felt more pronounced. That could be complete coincidence, but it would, anecdotally at least, back up the claims that the stimulation is different.

That was the only time I used the Slim band; to test how well the Modius Sleep works, I needed to stick to the same routine.

The idea with Modius Sleep is that you use it for 30 minutes before bed, rather than a full hour as you would with the Slim band. Remembering to use it every night might be a challenge, but I got into the habit quite quickly pop the band on before brushing your teeth and doing your usual pre-bedtime things, just as long as you dont have to move around too much. The stimulation can throw you off balance, so its better to relax.

It took a few days before the Modius band started to have an effect. In under a week I noticed I woke less at night for no reason; shortly after that I noticed that I fell asleep more easily in the evenings. Long term, it would be good to need the band less, and eventually not at all, but it was a small inconvenience in the evening for a much better pay-off.

The goodThe band seems to have had an effect on my sleep, which means it is worth the investment long term.

The not-so-goodThat swaying feeling could be a problem if you have ever suffered motion sickness. Theres a bit of waste involved with this too the electrodes are single use, and the alcohol wipes are too, although you could get around the latter.

The restYou get enough wipes and electrodes to get through 75 sessions, and it has a 45-day money-back guarantee.

The verdictAt 450 full price, its not a cheap solution to your sleep woes. But if it works for you, it could save you money in the long run and more importantly, save your sleep.

Humans werent designed to sit all day our ancestors evolved to spend their days hunting, foraging and building fires to survive. We were born to move and our increasingly inactive lifestyles are having serious implications on our long-term health and wellbeing.

When you consider how much of our day can be spent sitting sitting on the bus to work, sitting at a desk all day, sitting on the sofa watching tv in the evening its really no surprise that 33 per cent of Scottish adults arent meeting the national physical activity guidelines.

Modern day society, with its office jobs, labour-saving technology and over-reliance on mobile phones, has made us more sedentary than ever before. Now we can do almost everything, from our weekly food shop, to socialising, to banking, with the click of a button from the comfort of our sofa.

Im sure youve heard stories from your parents and grandparents about how they lived far more active lives back in the good old days. They walked round to their friends houses instead of sending them a WhatsApp message, they washed their dishes by hand rather than simply sticking them in the dishwasher and children played outside instead of sitting inside on tablets or games consoles.

Incorporating more movement into our days can boost our energy, help us to lose weight and reduce our risk of developing health conditions such as diabetes and heart disease. It can improve how we feel and, whats more, it can be fun!

Here at Edinburgh Leisure, we are a charity on a mission to help everyone in Edinburgh to lead happier, healthier and more active lives. We are passionate about the positive impact sport and physical activity can have on peoples lives, so we are proud to support people in the community who face barriers to being physically active.

Back in 2016, we started developing our Get Active programme for people who needed a helping hand to introduce physical activity back into their lives. Since then, weve seen a huge increase in demand from people who havent exercised in a while and were now delighted to be supporting around 400 people at 32 low level physical activity classes across the city every week.

These include Active Dance, a sociable way to get active to music without even realising youre exercising, and Active Aqua, a fun pool-based class delivered at the shallow end that uses the resistance of the water to work the whole body.

Moira, one of our Get Active participants, told us that for a number of years she had been letting her busy lifestyle get in the way of her health. When she was eventually diagnosed with diabetes, it gave her the nudge she needed to make some changes and lose weight.

She said: I started attending a Get Active class at Leith Victoria and quickly got the exercise bug. I kept finding that I wanted to do more, so I started other classes too. Now all the classes are just part of my weekly routine and I find that the more active I am, the better I feel.

She told us that shes enjoyed all the benefits that come with a more active lifestyle. The difference is night and day. Before starting Get Active, I felt sluggish and couldnt be bothered leaving the house but now I love going to the gym! I have more energy, Ive lost weight, my mood has improved and Ive met lots of new people.

As a health development officer, Im used to working with people who are looking to weave more movement back into their lives. If this sounds like something you want to do, here are some simple suggestions to get you going.

Use your lunch break to go for a short walk, wash your car instead of taking it to the car wash youll get a full body workout and save pennies or while youre watching TV, do some squats, sit ups or seated exercises during the ad breaks

You can also stick music on while youre cleaning and have a boogie youll burn extra calories and have far more fun or arrange a standing or walking meeting research has shown that they help to get those creative juices flowing!

And, instead of meeting friends for coffee, buy coffees and go for a walk together

So, theres no need to go full caveman and start scouring the woods for prey. Simply start by making small changes and you might find yourself wanting more, like Moira! If you would like to have more information on our Get Active programme, contact Ryan Martin at ryanmartin@edinburghleisure.co.uk or 0131 458 2130 or 07808890498.

Ryan Martin is an active communities health development officer with Edinburgh Leisure.

HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) has become a significant questionable sign mark because, among other dietary plans, it has some rigorous nutritional principles which have both advantages as well as the side effects. According to many experts, HCG combines a deficient daily calorie intake with ingestion of the hormone genuine HCG as an effective way to lose weight. According to some other experts, the HCG diet program has become a significant question mark is it safe to continue the HCG diet plan? Sports scientist for Renaissance Periodization like MIKE ISRAETEL SAYS The HCG diet is almost the quintessential fad diet. Another interesting fact about this peculiar diet plan is that no clinical studies suggesting that this dietary plan, namely HCG, helps in weight loss. However, this parlance might lookalike a vague statement, especially for the HCG diet disciples.

The peculiarity of this dietary routine lies in its two chief components. The first component is limiting us from 500 to 800 calories intake per day. The HCG diet program immensely emphasizes the usage of protein from lean meats, poultry, and fish. However, the other component is injecting (getting an injection of) HCG, typically into your thigh, or taking it as an oral drop either in spray form as a pellet or tablet.

HCG triumph is one of the very well-known and recognized brands in the world. It has numerous positive reviews from its customers as well as the best results. People who have used genuine HCG triumph much time are immensely satisfied with the supreme quality of this product.

HCG plus drops are the next product in this list. They provide the best possible genuine HCG drops, and the customers could not stop trust them. However, some customers became worried while using this product. In the end, it all ended well for them due to the high ratio of positive reviews from other customers.

The real HCG hormone drop is undoubtedly a very trusted and highly recommended product available in the market. That is a well-known brand, especially in terms of high quality.

Under the strict Genuine HCG dietary plan, the disciples of this diet are allowed to consume a variety of vegetables, including cauliflower, celery, spinach, fennel, radishes, shallots, asparagus, tomatoes and broccoli, mixed greens and beet greens. One low-calorie vegetable for both lunch and dinner is another strict diet under this plan. The natural HCG diet is not easy, and it raises multiple questions like this one is the HCG diet praiseworthy or not? There are a variety of HCG approved fruits that can be taken under this plan, namely lemons, apple, oranges, raspberries, blueberries, grapefruits, and strawberries.

The genuine HCG is not that easy to follow; it has a variety of food restrictions. It would help if you were peculiar abstinent, especially of fat-free protein.
