Caroline Toal is the lead Slimming World consultant in this area.

With every new year comes resolutions one of the most common being to lose weight. So if youre looking to kick-start your 2020 with a lasting change, Westmeaths slimming experts are sharing their tips to make your new year weight-loss resolutions a reality and all without giving up your favourite foods!

Caroline Toal, who will be celebrating eight years as a Slimming World consultant on January 9, says: With the rise of trendy fad diets, people are often seduced by the promise of fast weight losses and take quick-fix routes to lose weight.

However, these methods of weight loss arent sustainable after all, who wants to feel hungry all the time or give up their favourite foods indefinitely?

Especially when that often means that by February, new years resolutions are a distant memory.

After a phenomenal year in 2019 celebrating its 50th anniversary since it was founded in 1969, Slimming World has helped millions of people to reach their dream weight.

Theres no magic pill when it comes to weight loss and the best weight loss plan is the one you can stick to.

Michelle who is a consultant in Kinnegad since September 2013, says: Our members lose weight by making small changes to the way they shop, cook and eat and filling up on Free Food foods that are low in calories but satisfying like pasta, lean meat, fruit, veg, potatoes and more.

So they dont have to go hungry or give up their favourite meals, as well as gradually becoming more active and getting bucket loads of support along the way.

They develop healthy habits that they can keep up for life, so they can not only reach their target weight but stay there forever.

So, this new year, why not take advantage of just over 50 years of successful slimming experience, and join us at Slimming World?

Here John, Liz and Cathriona share their top tips to help you discover a new you this new year:

1. Make small and simple swaps

A huge misconception about losing weight is that you have to make dramatic changes and survive on lettuce leaves and carrot sticks.

However, with Slimming Worlds Food Optimising eating plan, members are encouraged to make small and simple swaps like switching from oil to low-calorie cooking spray and full-fat butter to low-fat spread, and swapping the white bread for wholemeal bread.

Losing weight is much easier when you get in the habit of planning your meals for the week.

Pick meals that you know youll enjoy, try new dishes to keep things interesting and make a shopping list its impossible to enjoy healthy meals if you dont have the foods you need to make them in your kitchen!

When youre losing weight, having a strong support system around you is vital. If you join a Slimming World group your fellow members, who are all on the same journey as you, will celebrate with you and boost your weight loss when youre doing well, and pick you up if you ever have a more difficult week.

But dont run before you can walk! If you currently lead a more sedentary lifestyle, and the thought of exercise makes you sweat, dont let your fears steer you away from getting active after all, exercise isnt just about Lycra and aerobic classes.

At Slimming World we encourage our members to make simple swaps from taking the lift and using the car for short journeys to taking the stairs and walking to the shops. Increase your activity levels gradually until you reach the recommended level of 30 minutes five times a week.

Having a visual reminder of your long-term goal is a great way to help you stay on track with your weight-loss journey. Not only is it a great way to see the amazing progress youre making, its a good way to keep yourself inspired and committed. Some members recommend using measurement charts and progress pictures to keep them motivated not only will they remind you why youre losing weight, theyre fun too!

FDA green-lights U.S. patient enrollment in masitinib Phase 3 study following IND clearance in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer eligible to chemotherapy

Topline results expected to be available by end of 2020

AB Science SA (NYSE Euronext - FR0010557264 - AB) today announces that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared the company's Investigational New Drug (IND) application to conduct its masitinib Phase 3 study (AB12003) in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) eligible to chemotherapy.

Study AB12003 is an international, multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, 2-parallel group, Phase 3 study in metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) eligible to chemotherapy. The study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of masitinib (6.0 mg/kg/day) in combination with docetaxel to placebo in combination with docetaxel. Docetaxel is combined with prednisone.

The study primary endpoint is progression free survival (PFS). A total of 468 patients are planned to be enrolled.

The target patient population consists of adult males who have progressed to develop metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) after castration treatment (i.e. reduction of available androgen/testosterone/DHT by chemical or surgical means) and are therefore eligible for chemotherapy.

An interim analysis was performed by the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) in June 2018. Based on the rules set for the interim analysis, the recommendation from the IDMC was to continue the study in a pre-specified subgroup of patients that are identified by a biomarker. According to the statistical rule of the protocol at the interim analysis, this means that the probability of success of study AB12003 may exceed 80% in this pre-specified subgroup, assuming that the patients remaining to be enrolled behave similarly to those analyzed at the interim analysis. The subgroup of patients is expected to represent around two-thirds of the population.

AB Science expects the topline results from the trial to be available by end of 2020.

About castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC)

Development of prostate cancer is often driven by male sex hormones called androgens, including testosterone. Castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is defined by disease progression despite androgen depletion (hormone) therapy and may present as either a continuous rise in serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, the progression of pre-existing disease, and/or the appearance of new metastases. Metastatic CRPC (mCRPC) occurs when the cancer spreads to other parts of the body.

Prostate cancer is the most common cause of cancer in men, with 137.9 new cases per 100,000 men per year [1]. The estimated prevalence of people living with prostate cancer is 113 per 100,000 [2], with approximately 15% of the patients having metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) eligible to chemotherapy [3]. As such, population with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) eligible to chemotherapy is around 75,000 in the EU and 50,000 in the USA.

Prostate cancer is also the second most common cause of cancer death in men, with the highest rates being in North America, Australia, and Northern and Central Europe. Although the overall 5-year survival rate for prostate cancer is very high, up to 20% of men who undergo state-of-the art treatment for prostate cancer will develop CRPC within 5 years, and at least 84% of these will have metastases at the time of CRPC diagnosis [1]. Practically all patients with metastatic disease become resistant to androgen-deprivation therapy. Median survival for those with mCRPC ranges from approximately 15 to 36 months in recent studies, and 5-year survival is only 28% [1].

About masitinibMasitinib is a new orally administered tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets mast cells and macrophages, important cells for immunity, through inhibiting a limited number of kinases. Based on its unique mechanism of action, masitinib can be developed in a large number of conditions in oncology, in inflammatory diseases, and in certain diseases of the central nervous system. In oncology due to its immunotherapy effect, masitinib can have an effect on survival, alone or in combination with chemotherapy. Through its activity on mast cells and microglia and consequently the inhibition of the activation of the inflammatory process, masitinib can have an effect on the symptoms associated with some inflammatory and central nervous system diseases and the degeneration of these diseases.

About AB ScienceFounded in 2001, AB Science is a pharmaceutical company specializing in the research, development and commercialization of protein kinase inhibitors (PKIs), a class of targeted proteins whose action are key in signaling pathways within cells. Our programs target only diseases with high unmet medical needs, often lethal with short term survival or rare or refractory to previous line of treatment. AB Science has developed a proprietary portfolio of molecules and the Companys lead compound, masitinib, has already been registered for veterinary medicine and is developed in human medicine in oncology, neurological diseases, and inflammatory diseases.

The Steadman Clinic in Vail, Colorado, is a world-renown orthopedic practice, attracting top surgeons in their respective fields and providing care to professional athletes, Olympians and non-athlete patients alike.

THE PROBLEM

The clinic faced a number of challenges that it was looking to address with a digital care management platform.

The first was just moving into the 21st century and the digital age, said Mark Ryan, rehabilitation coordinator for Dr. Marc Philippon at The Steadman Clinic. It is hard to call yourself state of the art, ahead of the curve or cutting edge if youre not using digital technology.

He added: Handing out paper rehab programs to patients that would either be lost and never used or worn out and tattered if used daily, led to reduced compliance by our patients and increased workload on staff if they needed a replacement copy.

Another challenge for the clinic was compliance. How was the clinic monitoring compliance with the home exercise program? In short, it was not.

We did not know who was doing the exercises, how often they were doing them, and we were not providing effective tools to improve the quality of the exercise sessions, Ryan explained. Another limitation in a paper copy was a lack of customization for the patient. It did not allow flexibility for either faster or slower progression through the rehabilitation program.

And lastly, the clinic lacked an effective communication platform where the patient and medical teams, including affiliate physical therapists outside of the clinic, could communicate in an efficient, timely manner.

PROPOSAL

So Steadman Clinic evaluated a digital platform from health IT vendor AMP Recover. It saw an opportunity to address all of the aforementioned challenges as the platform provided easy access to the rehabilitation protocol either online or through a patients mobile phone, Ryan said.

It provided real-time feedback as to who, when and how often each patient logged into the platform, viewed their program, and completed their program, he said. It allowed for customization of any protocol with a few clicks of a keyboard. And patients and their medical team could communicate through the platform either directly with each other or the whole team.

MARKETPLACE

There is a variety of care coordination health IT vendors on the market today, including Ensocare, eQHealth, Greenway Health, GSI Health, Imprivata, Optum, pMD and VitalHealth Software.

MEETING THE CHALLENGE

With the feedback of a few select patients, AMP Recover was able to adapt their previous performance platform to work in the rehabilitation world.

Initially setting up a series of video sessions to record our rehabilitation exercises, we laid the groundwork to build our programs of rehabilitation for various body parts and surgery procedures, and finally building phases and full protocols, Ryan explained. The next stage of the platform is to integrate it with our EHR to keep one complete medical record.

RESULTS

One example of results to date: Over the course of one year, 542 hip patients were invited to use the new digital platform. Of those patients, 86% activated their profiles and 63% were active on a weekly basis.

We have had the most success with the communication between the patients and the surgeons staff to keep the rehabilitation progression moving forward, Ryan said. The number of patients that are leaving notes about their tolerance to the exercise programs continues to grow. And we are very pleased with the percentage of patients that have set up and use the platform on a daily/weekly basis.

ADVICE FOR OTHERS

It is important to recognize how the current population receives and uses information provided to them, Ryan advised. We have found that having our rehabilitation program at patients fingertips, clearly defined, and with helpful support such as videos and exercise descriptions, has increased compliance and improved execution of the plan.

The Steadman Clinic uses many outside rehabilitation partners (affiliate physical therapy clinics) around the country and across the globe, and having a central online platform ties everyone together to provide the best possible medical care, he added.

There is no doubt that remote treatments are a big part of the future of healthcare, and having an online platform to provide high-quality information to patients will play a key role in improving clinical outcomes.

I try very hard not to look at January as any sort of reboot, detox, or kickstart month. It is too easy to fall into a trap of focusing on the first month of a new year to be the start of something big, especially around eating. I know too many people who start weight loss or fitness programs, become vegetarian or vegan, sign on for Whole30 or Drynuary, only to end January feeling worse about themselves or like a failure if those things have not magically produced change.

Instead, I like to think of January as a month to ease myself into the new year. The bridge between the holidays and the year ahead, a month to be kind and forgiving of myself.

January is both about reflection on what preceded it and trying to have some intentionality about the year ahead. Any year is a marathon, not a sprint, and so I think of January as the beginning of training. No one would expect me to do 20 miles right out of the gate.

After years of thinking of January as the month that would start the diet that would finally work, or the exercise program I would love, or whatever else I was looking to reformat, years of resolutions broken, I finally stopped making any predictions or prognostications or promises and just decided to use January to slowly start to focus energy in positive directions where possible.

When it comes to eating, after the indulgences of the holiday season, I am usually pretty ready to lighten my consumption, and eat things that are easy and bright. The doldrums of winter are setting in, so I want light and punchy flavors, some heat to balance the cold outside, and whatever freshness I can muster up. So sometime in the first week of January, I make some version of this soup. It makes a lot, because both my husband and I work from home and so we are eating both lunch and dinner in most days. It is less of a recipe than a ratio, because I dont want to bother with following anything prescriptive, and I dont want to feel burdened by access to ingredients or amounts.

In a big stock pot, I heat up some coconut oil, canola, or peanut oil till it shimmers, and then throw in a couple cups of chopped onion, a quarter cup of chopped garlic, about a half cup of thick slices of fresh ginger, and one or two chopped serrano chilis. Once they have sweated down, I pour in about six quarts of water, a quarter cup of fish sauce, and a quarter cup of soy sauce. Once this is simmering, I taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes if I want more heat, more fish sauce or soy sauce if it needs punch. Then I add about 10 cups of assorted cut-up green and white vegetables. This might include everything from broccoli and cauliflower to spinach, watercress, snow peas, snap peas, bok choy, or napa cabbage. I usually include a bunch of chopped scallions. I simmer till the veggies are tender but not mushy, and then let cool and stash in the fridge. I can reheat it a bowl or a pot at a time.

I can serve it over rice or noodles or with nothing. I like a squeeze of fresh lime and some fresh chopped parsley, maybe some crunchy bean sprouts on top. My husband likes his with cilantro and chopped avocado on top. If I make chicken, I might add some shredded chicken in for protein.

It never feels like diet food, deprivation food, or food that is what you are supposed to eat. It feels like a bowl of green in the winter where access to green is limited, and its filling without being heavy. It can be the starter to a larger meal or a meal all on its own. It is great with a beer. Or without. Mostly it feels like the most delicious and tender bit of self-care. And a very good way to start the year.

Each year, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) releases its Top 10 Fitness Trends. With wearables, group training and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) topping the list, it is sure to have an effect on campus recreation. Lets take a look at the top 10 trends for 2020 and how they integrate with our campuses.

What is it?

Wearable technology first appeared on the Top 10 list in 2016 and hit the No. 1 spot. After remaining No. 1 in 2017, it dropped to No. 3 in 2018, went back to No. 1 in 2019 and its here to stay. Wearable technology includes any fitness trackers, smartwatches, heart rate monitors, and/or GPS tracking devices.

What does it mean for Campus Recreation?

Our students, faculty/staff, and members are more vested in their own behaviors and habits than ever before. Wearable technology can increase self-efficacy in our members and it is no longer an added value, its an expectation. Find creative solutions to incorporate wearable technology in your programs whether they are structured, self-directed or even virtual. Many physical education and activity courses are even moving to a hybrid or complete online model with the use of wearables.

What is it?

HIIT training are exercise programs that consist of short bursts of high-intensity efforts followed by short periods of rest. Although sustained efforts of more than 90% maximum effort can cause potential injuries or other hazardous effects, HIIT isnt going anywhere. HIIT hit the trends report, for the first time ever, strong in 2014 at the No. 1 spot and hasnt left the top five since.

What does it mean for Campus Recreation?

HIIT is becoming a bread and butter of our operation whether we provide structured HIIT opportunities or our clientele participate self-directed. Education to our staff is essential for HIIT. It needs to become a part of our staff training programs, onboarding and continuing education. Remember true HIIT training is 30 minutes or less; if you are able to sustain HIIT training in excess of 30 minutes then you arent doing HIIT.

What is it?

The term group training can be quite confusing. In 2019, ACSM did not separate large group training and small group training on the worldwide trends survey; therefore, in this case, group training is intentionally designed, in-person movement classes led by an instructor for groups of five or more participants. Small Group Training can still be considered to be in this category, but remember, small group training is back-of-house terminology for programs like HIIT, etc.

What does it mean for Campus Recreation?

Group exercise programs arent going anywhere. What we consider to be group exercise is going to continue to evolve; the outcome wont change but the pathway will. We need to be delivering memorable movement experiences that cause our participants to miss us when they arent there. Live, in-person classes arent going away, but we need to start implementing virtual programs that reach people where they are.

What is it?

Training with free weights showcases that instructors and trainers teach participants proper form with the use of barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells and/or medicine balls. Resistance is increased and progressed as form is executed properly. Training with free weights hit the Top 10 list for the first time in 2020 and debuts at the No. 4 spot.

What does it mean for Campus Recreation?

We need to remember all of our clientele are typically training in one of the following four categories: health, function, fitness or performance. For those training for fitness, its important to progress clients away from pin-selected equipment to training with free-weight equipment when ready. Our movements in our training space should mimic the five primary movement patterns we execute in daily life: bend and lift, push, pull, single leg movement, and rotation. Consider hosting a form workshop and have your personal trainers take charge.

What is it?

Personal training is considered a one-on-one exercise program and continues to trend as it becomes more accessible with online, in-home, in-club and worksite training programs on the rise, as a large shift in personal training has moved online. The ACSM trends report began in 2006 and personal training has remained in the top 10 ever since. Personal training jumped from the No. 8 spot to the No. 5 spot for 2020.

What does it mean for Campus Recreation?

Personal training is changing and so should we. Think about offering online programs, moving toward a membership model with personal training, and having more than one trainer work with a single client. Read more about the changes in personal training by checking out this blog post.

What is it?

According to ACSM, Exercise is Medicine (EIM) is a global health initiative that encourages health care providers to include physical activity assessment and associated referrals to certified fitness professionals in the community as part of every patient visit. In addition, EIM recognizes fitness professionals as part of the health care team in their local communities. EIM took the biggest jump for 2020 and went from No. 10 to No. 6 on the list.

What does it mean for Campus Recreation?

Exercise is Medicine will continue to rise. Take advantage of the access to relationships on campus with your health center and/or medical schools if you have one. Keep the conversations moving to see what it takes to implement a referral program on your campus.

What is it?

BWT hit the top 10 trends report in 2013 and hasnt left yet. BWT is a combination of variable resistance and neuromotor movements in all planes of movement utilizing the body as a machine. It uses minimal equipment and maximizes workout effectiveness. It can also be argued as the most affordable way to train.

What does it mean for Campus Recreation?

Ive said it once and Ill say it again. Simply put: less equipment, more open space.

What is it?

This trend emphasizes the need for offering programs for baby boomers and the active aging generation. In general, people are living longer, healthier/active lives, working longer, and potentially have more discretionary funds to spend.

What does it mean for Campus Recreation?

We may see our faculty/staff work longer in their careers and see an increase in their membership and engagement with us. We are also seeing an increase in the non-traditional student which can increase the age diversity of our typical member. When creating programs for your campus rec department to offer, consider who your ideal member is for that program and ways to be inclusive of all age groups. Look for opportunities to partner with your community on programs like Silver Sneakers when your foot traffic is typically lower.

What is it?

This trend incorporates behavioral science into health promotion and lifestyle medicine programs. Health and wellness coaching can be delivered in a one-on-one or small group setting both in-person and online. Its based on motivational interviewing and a practical application of health behavior theory. Health and wellness coaching has been in the top 20 since 2010.

What does it mean for Campus Recreation?

I can confidently say that health and wellness coaching needs to be close to the top of your priority list in campus recreation. Mental health is continuing to be a top concern on our campuses and our helping professionals, like counseling centers, are often understaffed and overbooked. Take time to build relationships on how you can help each other. Find out why people are falling into the river and try to prevent them from doing so. Theres no time for territory wars when it comes to health and wellness coaching because the well-being of our students and community is everyones responsibility.

What is it?

Employing certified fitness professionals replaced the broader term prior to 2019 which was educated, certified and experienced fitness professionals. Hiring certified health/fitness professionals through accredited education programs and certifying bodies is more important than ever. The National Commission on Certifying Agencies (NCCA) allows employers to easily validate employees certifications along with the US Registry of Exercise Professionals (US Reps).

What does it mean for Campus Recreation?

If we say we prepare our students for their future, then we need to actually do so. We should be offering educational and certification programs on our campuses that prepare our students to sit for group fitness, personal training, and/or health coach certification exams. Most educational partnerships are offered at no cost to the Campus Recreation department, and students receive extensive discounts to the certifications. With the rise of US Reps, its more important than ever fitness facilities are hiring credentialed health and wellness professionals.

The ACSM Worldwide Survey of Fitness Trends is always one of my favorite reports to read each year. It always sparks interesting discussion and often we will rebuttal, in many online social media platforms, why something popular in an area didnt make the list. Just because there is regional popularity on something doesnt always mean its an international trend. Campus Recreation departments need to stay in the know of whats happening around the world with movement trends. Our goal is to prepare our students for success beyond college so we would be doing them a disservice by not preparing them for whats actually ahead. As we embark on this new decade, how will you create change?

New and improved workout space will benefit community

HOPE MILLS Just in time for those healthy New Years resolutions, the Hope Mills Parks and Recreation Center has unveiled a brand new fitness center.

"This is just so nice," Erika Worley said as she took a break from the lat pulldown machine. "I didnt expect this."

The rec centers new fitness room opened Monday at the 5770 Rockfish Road location with two treadmills, two ellipticals, a seated elliptical, a recumbent bicycle and circuit exercise equipment including three multifunction machines. The center also features a new station with TRX suspension training along with free weights, kettlebells, foam rollers and mats.

The room has rubber flooring, natural light, and a pair of new smart televisions.

Use of the fitness center is free for ages 55 and up, and it costs $3 per session for ages 18-54.

"I think this provides encouragement for folks to live a well-rounded, healthy lifestyle." said programs coordinator Kasey Ivey. "Its been a labor of love for me, personally and professionally, because I have a fitness background."

Ivey is happy to see the improved setup along with the addition of a personal trainer.

Monika Cotter already instructs the parks and recreation centers Under Construction and FUNctional Fitness classes. Now, shes on-hand for guidance in the fitness center with assessments and training.

"Shes in here to help folks get orientated, make sure theyre wiping down the equipment, make sure the new guidelines are followed," Ivey said.

"If someone wants to know, How much weight should I use? or How many reps do I do? She cant safely guide someone if she doesnt know their starting point. So shes doing fitness assessments and personal training."

Best of the Week: http://myprofile.fayobserver.com/?_ga=2.88716883.975414332.1565695384-2017682533.1562678522 ">A roundup of our best work and most popular stories of the week.

Assessments cost $25 and are required before personal training sessions can be booked.

But if you just want to get in the center and work out on your own, "you can schedule an orientation and Ill go over how to use the machines and things like that now," Cotter said.

She pointed out different muscle groups that machines in the room target. "With these machines, you can hit a little bit of everything," Cotter said, emphasizing that exercise should be fun.

"I hope people will learn to love working out. You want it to be fun so that you can stay consistent and make it a healthy lifetime habit."

Husband and wife Sooky and Paul Abril have made a habit of good health.

"Were regulars here," Sooky said. "We started coming in 2012 and we come four days a week, in the mornings."

She liked the added space and natural light in the new fitness space, along with the benefits of exercise.

"It helps me build muscle and I dont breathe as hard at work and I just feel healthier as I come here more and more," she said.

Paul, an Army veteran, also approved. "This is one of my priorities," he said. "Youve got to keep moving.

"The best medication is movement."

Worley said that she, too, comes to exercise multiple times a week.

"You read about it in the paper every day and you hear about it on the news, how important it is to exercise," she said. "Im so much healthier than a lot of people my age. I hardly ever get sick."

The treadmills can improve cardiovascular health and burn calories. The ellipticals are also cardio machines that target the glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, and tibialis anterior. The seated elliptical offers the cardio workout with less pressure on the back and knees.

The circuit equipment works everything from the hamstring, glutes and quads to shoulder and chest, biceps, triceps and lats.

The equipment is leased from Gym Source, which also designed the fitness center layout. Preventative maintenance is worked into the contract, and the company also handles repairs.

The TRX station, according to Cotter, "is great for flexibility and stability.

"Out of all the equipment you can possibly have, I feel like this is one of the most important," she said.

"You can do squats, rows, abs, cardio, and it offers stability."

TRX stands for Total Resistance Exercise, and it uses ones own body weight to develop strength, balance and flexibility through suspension training using straps.

The station is situated beside a 6x8-foot mirror behind the cardio equipment. "So now folks actually have space and equipment for their stretching and recovery as well," Ivey said.

Shed like to see the equipment utilized by the entire 18-and-older age range for which its intended.

Cotter also provides training to ages 14-17, with parent or guardian supervision, and she can specialize training for specific sports.

"I am really excited," Cotter said. "Its beautiful and I think its going to be great for the community. "I love seeing everybody here enjoying it and getting active."
