Staying on track with fitness resolutions in 2020 – WCAX
Fitness Comments Off on Staying on track with fitness resolutions in 2020 – WCAX
ESSEX, Vt. (WCAX) Often New Years resolutions have something to do with exercise and healthy living, but the challenge is sustaining that motivation to be healthy.
Going to the gym is a great way to get in shape or stay in shape during the winter months. The Edge in Essex says they usually see a spike in membership during month of January.
"Yeah, I think as far as the health club goes, this is one of our most exciting times of year because we see lots of new faces," said the club's Nicole Williams.
New faces like Cagney Hamblett of Grand Isle, who says she signed up for a year.
"I would say there's probably 100 new members that came in just in the last two to three weeks," said the club's Michael Marquis.
But Marquis says membership also dips in the months of February and March. "It does tend to tail off by February in a lot of different ways in the club. It's a hard number to put a finger on. I would say roughly half of the people that come in," he said.
Nutrition psychologists say there are two reasons why -- people don't see results as soon as they like and they don't work out long enough for it to become a habit. "I don't know the exact number but it's, it's more than just a week or two," said Sue Kamp with the Vermont Department of Health.
Michael Desanto formed his exercise habit decades ago. He's been a member at The Edge for over 20 years. "I started exercising semi-religiously when I was 29, which would be forty-one years ago," said the Milton resident. He says that the gym gets crowded this time of year but it doesn't last. "Starting now, in early January, there is a huge surge of interest in getting to the gym and along about March it starts to peter out a little bit."
Williams says they are trying to keep attendance up. "Our goal is to support them to make sure that they're finding exercises, or the accountability and support that they need to stay here to keep going," she said.
And experts say even if you lose motivation in February, you can work to get it back. "If you lose a day, if a day is too complicated and you just can't get to the gym that day, get back on the trail again and try really hard to build the habit," Kamp said.
They recommend working out with friends and siblings to stay motivated. It's advice Cagney Hamblett is taking to heart. "My brother will be going with me most of the time so it'll be easy to have a little bit of motivation," she said.

Apple Wins Three Patents covering the iPhone and Fitness Tracking Apple Watch focused on Monitoring the Heart – Patently Apple
Fitness Comments Off on Apple Wins Three Patents covering the iPhone and Fitness Tracking Apple Watch focused on Monitoring the Heart – Patently Apple
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office officially published a series of 41 newly granted patents for Apple Inc. today. In this particular report we cover three of Apple's health related patents that all relate to various functions and systems of the Apple Watch and iPhone to measure heart health. In late September Patently Apple posted a report titled "On World Heart Day, Apple Executives talk about Apple Watch and Health Studies."
Earlier this year, Apples CEO Tim Cook commented on the importance of health to the company. In a statement that has been widely quoted, he said, "I believe, if you zoom out into the future, and you look back, and you ask the question, 'What was Apple's greatest contribution to mankind?', it will be about health."
Over the last few years Apple has focused on technologies to measure the heart's activity and today we take a look at three of Apple's newly granted patents that could make a difference in a user's health.
IPhone Scans Finger to Compute Health Data
The US Patent & Trademark Office published granted patent 10,524,671 for Apple that shows how they want to take the iPhone to the next level for health as it relates to allowing users to measure their vitals.
To accomplish this goal, Apple's granted patent covers systems, apparatuses, and methods related to an iPhone (iPad, Apple Watch etc) that computes health data. The device may include a camera, an ambient light sensor, and a proximity sensor. The electronic device may use one or more of the camera and the proximity sensor to emit light into a body part of a user (such as a finger, and ear, and so on) touching a surface of the electronic device.
By way of illustration, electrical measurements may be taken via the electrical contacts 107a and 107b (which may respectively be configured as positive and negative terminals) that may be used to detect electrical activity of the user's body. Such electrical measurements may be used (in some cases along with analysis of the received light) to measure heart function, compute an electrocardiogram, compute a galvanic skin response that may be indicative of emotional state and/or other physiological condition, and/or compute other health data such as body fat, or blood pressure.
Apple's patent FIG. 2 below illustrates obtaining health data on an iPhone; FIG. 3 illustrates the view of FIG. 2 while the example system is providing guidance to obtain health data; FIG. 4 illustrates the view of FIG. 2 while the example system is providing the obtained health data; FIG. 5 is a flow chart illustrating an example method for using an electronic device to obtain health data. FIG. 6 is a flow chart illustrating an example method for guiding use of an electronic device to obtain health data.
You could check out Patently Apple's original patent application on this invention posted in December 2017 here for more details.
Detecting Conditions using Heart Rate Sensors
Apple's newly granted patent 10,524,735 relates to devices (primarily Apple Watch and iPhone) and methods for identifying instances of events during which one or more predetermined characteristics or patterns occur in a physiological signal.
Specifically, it may be desirable to identify instances of certain irregularities in a physiological signal. For example, when a physiological signal, such as a PPG signal or an electrocardiograhy (ECG) signal, measures one or more aspects of a cardiac cycle over time, it may be desirable to look for one or more predetermined characteristics of a waveform of a heartbeat and/or a pattern of heartbeats, which may be representative of corresponding characteristics present in the cardiac cycle.
A physiological signal (e.g., heart rate signal) can be indicative of one or more physiological parameters (e.g., heart rate, heart rate variability, etc.) of a user. In practice, however, sensors configured to monitor these physiological signals may be susceptible to motion or other noise sources depending on the device and the mode of operation, which may reduce the accuracy with which the measured signal represents a user's actual cardiac cycle.
Apple's patent FIG. 2 below illustrates a bottom view of an exemplary electronic device that includes a light detector and light sources for determining a physiological signal; FIG. 3A illustrates an exemplary process for detecting an instance of an event using qualifying event occurrences; FIG. 7B illustrates an exemplary interface for providing feedback to a user.
Accurate Calorimetry for Intermittent Exercises
Apple's newly granted patent 10,524,670 covers the Apple Watch (and iPhone) as a fitness tracking device and techniques for accurately tracking an individual's energy expenditure over time and over a variety of activities while wearing the fitness tracking device. In some embodiments, the fitness tracking device may be a wearable device. The wearable device may be worn on a wrist, such as a watch, and it may include one or more microprocessors, a display, and a variety of sensors, including a heart rate sensor and one or more motion sensors.
Further the Apple Watch may provide accurate, individualized calorimetry throughout a person's day, and across a variety of activities. Some embodiments may calibrate a fitness tracking device for an individual without necessarily relying on measuring {dot over (V)}O.sub.2, heart rate testing, or self-reporting about physical activity.
Additionally, some embodiments may model calorie burn and perform calorimetry processes for a variety of activities accurately, such as walking, running, cycling, or weight lifting. Also, some embodiments may use sensor data to estimate load (e.g., resistance, incline, grade, etc.) for exercise equipment such as elliptical trainers, step machines, treadmills, etc., and some embodiments may use sensor data to determine or predict a type of terrain (e.g., pavement, gravel, etc.), to model energy expenditure more accurately by taking these estimations into account.
Furthermore, some embodiments may model calorie burn and perform calorimetry processes for sedentary and low-intensity activity (e.g., when not in an active exercise session), including sitting or standing.
In some embodiments, the heart rate sensor may include a photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensor for sensing heart rate. The PPG sensor can illuminate the user's skin using a light, such as a light-emitting diode (LED), and can measure changes in light absorption as blood is pumped through the subcutaneous tissue under the PPG sensor. The fitness tracking device can measure an individual's current heart rate from the PPG. The heart rate sensor may also be configured to determine a confidence level indicating a relative likelihood of an accuracy of a given heart rate measurement.
Apple patent FIG. 1 illustrates an Apple Watch referred to as a fitness tracking device; FIG. 2 depicts a block diagram of a fitness tracking device; and FIG. 21 shows a calorimetry technique using local models.

Why This Fitness Ad Is Offensive to People With (and Without) Disabilities – Yahoo Lifestyle
Fitness Comments Off on Why This Fitness Ad Is Offensive to People With (and Without) Disabilities – Yahoo Lifestyle
I confess I have a bad habit: one of the first things I do in the morning is to wake my brain with my phones blue light by checking my emails. This morning, one of them read: What excuse is standing in your way? It was from Runkeeper, the ASICS running app, for which I signed up a while ago. What woke me up was not just the light, but the anger I felt at the message.
I used to be a volleyball player. Ive never been one for long-distance running, but I have an enviable sprint that once shocked a gym enthusiast friend when we were running to catch a bus together and I was ahead by a considerable distance, saving the day. About four years after my arthritis diagnosis, I have decided to train for a 5K as a way to challenge myself and raise money for a good cause. Thats why the app ended up on my phone.
Related: When I Question Whether Being Sick Has Made Me 'Lose Myself'
I never expected it to be easy or pain-free, or to run it fast instead of more like a relaxed jog or speed walking (easier on my knees, after all), but I know I am one of the lucky ones when it comes to managing the disease. I feel fortunate not to need to be on multiple drugs to be able to do the basic things most people take for granted.
My training for the 5K was interrupted, though, by two consecutive years with severe chronic bronchitis. If I were to outrun my excuse (the slogan on the image that appears upon opening the email), I could face severe, even fatal consequences. While exercising is recommended as a way to improve your breathing after the symptomatic phase has passed, vigorous aerobic exercise such as running appears discouraged in every article that comes up from a search for running with bronchitis on a famous search engine.

One might dismiss my concerns with the language used by saying I was not the intended target market. Clearly, as the email goes on, theyre thinking of people who say they are too busy or have no running buddies. Thats fair enough, but its still an ableist comment to open by talking about excuses and saying Theres always a reason not to run. But with a 50 percent off our a Runkeeper Go subscription, youll have more tools to rise above your excuses. Whats stopping you?
You see, I very much consider myself their target market. I still want to tick off the goal of running a 5K off my list, and I would have considered the offer if it hadnt been put in such shaming terms. They could have said it was a New Years offer for people who havent used the app for a while, or something about a present to ourselves after a season of gift-giving to others. They could have talked about kickstarting 2020, or go along the lines of the corny new year, new me messages. Even an offer to take my running to the next level would have felt less like rubbing salt on a wound.

The fitness industry is not well-known for its inclusivity, but it should be. While some people truly cannot exercise because of their health, everyone else can benefit from some movement commensurate to what they can safely do. Research into fat-shaming has shown us inspirational messages that do not shame people are more effective at achieving the goal of motivating them to act. The same principle translates to fitness. Not only are shaming messages like this email ableist, but theyre also ineffective at supporting everyone regardless of their ability. Instead of accusing people of making excuses not to run, ASICS could have chosen to uplift the demographic that is not already committed to their product.
British gym chain PureGym has been very successful as sending out positive messages. All their emails trying to make people re-join the gym use neutral messages about restarting a fitness journey, and theyre all about whats on offer rather than anything about your choices. They showcase a diverse range of members testimonials, and share articles about how they can help you, whatever your ability. The pressure to sign up is all in the time-sensitive nature of the offer, and not in making you feel guilty.
It really isnt hard to craft a marketing message that isnt ableist but instead uplifting and motivational for all. Badly done, Runkeeper, badly done.

Fitness Comments Off on Austin Mahone’s Diet and Fitness Routine – menshealth.com
Before he hits the gym, Austin Mahone has some serious sartorial decisions. Like, which of his hundred pair of sneakers he wants to pair with high socks and basketball shorts. He could go with his Air Mags, those $50,000 plus, self-tying sneakers Marty McFly sported in Back to the Future Part II, but he doesnt want to scuff them. Same goes for his first edition Louis Vuitton all red Yeezys. (Mahones favorite piece of clothing, which is not a shoe: a robe gifted to him by Stefano Gabbana in Milan after a fashion show, which is just about as chic a sentence you can utter.) This time, he goes with his Air Jordan Futures.
The San Antonio native first blew up online in 2010, when he was fourteen. Mahone had started posting pop cover songs on his YouTube channel. Two years later, he released his own single and signed with the same record label as Taylor Swift. Then he toured with Swift. And now, at 23, Mahone is living that pop star/fashion ambassador life, which, in his case, apparently means splitting a Miami apartment with several other guys who cook each other eggs in the morning and drink chardonnay before bed. The high life.
We caught up with Mahone in Miami. His is the kind of beach view Miami apartment you walk around in wearing a tank top and holding a basketballwhich Mahone does, the entire time, as he shows us his kitchen, gym, and recording studio, where he's currently at work on his first full album.
Mahone says his dietary staples include Lean Body protein shake, eggs, steak, chicken, rice, protein bars, and fruits and ketchup. Because hes a San Antonio boy, Mahone says, ketchup goes on everything: eggs, tamales, even his Thanksgiving turkey.
The only diet hes done, he says, is adulatingswitching from being a boy and eating Fruit Roll-Ups and candy all the time to being a grown-up. When youre young, you just burn that off super quick. But once I got older I was like: now Im starting to see the effects of eating good and how it helps you, especially energy. Because when youre pushing 23, you really have to re-evaluate life like that.
The pop star said his bodyguard inspired him to drop the Fruit Roll-Ups. Once I hit eighteen, he was like, alright, bro, you gotta start tightening up; youre a man now.
Now, aside from a sugar conscious diet, Mahone says he picks shoes and goes to the gym 4-5 times a week, mixing weights and cardioincluding basketball (Im always just trying to ball with my bros).
Mahone says exercise gets his juices flowing, which helps both in the studio songwriting and with his energy on stage.
Of course, there are also aesthetic perks. And when one wakes up to look at a Miami Beach oceanfront every morning? Well, its important to pull off a tank topbasketball in hand or not.

The crazy things Americans would do to reach their fitness goals – New York Post
Fitness Comments Off on The crazy things Americans would do to reach their fitness goals – New York Post
One in three Americans would give up sex for a year to instantly reach their fitness goals, according to new research.
Thats not all theyd be willing to do a survey of 2,000 Americans found a quarter of respondents are so desperate to reach their fitness goals that they would even be willing to spend a week in jail to achieve them in the blink of an eye.
The study examined respondents attitudes on fitness, well-being and what motivates them, revealing that 68 percent feel so overwhelmed by maintaining a fitness routine that they would rather avoid starting one altogether.
Six in 10 also reported they just dont know enough about health and fitness to start their own routine.
Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of AI fitness and lifestyle coaching app Freeletics, the survey also found that 67 percent dont know which healthy habits they should create and maintain in their lives.
To make things easier three in four respondents said a personal trainer would help them reach their fitness goals more efficiently.
Sixty-nine percent of those polled say the only thing that would get them in shape is the help of a personal trainer, but the price tag seems to be dissuading.
Seventy-six percent of those surveyed said they wished getting a personal trainer was more affordable.
It turns out social media is actually playing a large role in motivating Americans to exercise; just over three-quarters of respondents reported following fitness influencers to keep them going.
Another 85 percent of respondents said they motivate themselves by comparing their progress through photos and measurements and even selfies.
Despite these motivators, respondents admitted to some common reasons to justify not exercising and maintaining healthy habits.
Topping the list of excuses was the classic I dont have enough time (35 percent).
Twenty-six percent of respondents also reported that they worry they may be past the point of no return saying theyre just too unfit already.
Its important to find an exercise routine that works for you and your schedule, but its equally as important to train your mind too. If you reduce stress and sleep better, youll also perform better.
Complementary training of both body and mind positively impacts all-round performance and how quickly and effectively you reach your goals, explained Dr. Peter Just, Team Lead Coach Experience at Freeletics.
The stronger your skills and mindset, the stronger and more successful you can become both physically and mentally.
Perhaps connected with the 35 percent of respondents who dont have enough time, a quarter of those surveyed also said theyre too stressed to exercise and maintain healthy habits.
This checks out too, as respondents reporting feel stressed an average of three days a week. Eleven percent of respondents even said they felt stressed five to six days a week.
Americans are taking action to combat this, however, with respondents reporting they meditate an average of 4.6 hours a week and 65 percent reported practicing mindfulness and meditation is a top priority for them.
And when it comes to mindfulness practices, over half of those surveyed said they look to this to manage stress.
However, one of the top barriers to practicing mindfulness was a busy and distracted mind (47 percent).
Combining body and mind training has always been a part of the Freeletics vision to help people become the greatest version of themselves, said Freeletics CEO Daniel Sobhani.
Our Mindset Coaching will teach people the fundamentals and help them build a lifelong foundation for health and personal development.
By combining this with our adaptive, personalized workout plans, people will be more likely than ever to truly succeed on their health and fitness journey. We believe training your body and mind is one of the greatest investments you can make, so now we are making it as easy as possible for anyone.
