Unlike Apple Health, you can uninstall Google Fit from your phone if you want to make sure it's not collecting any data. If you're logging data from a connected Wear OS smartwatch and want to stop this from happening, meanwhile, open the Fit app, scroll down to Settings, then tap Sign out.

Fitbit

It's not clear what Google's acquisition of Fitbit means for your Fitbit or Google Fit data. But now you can open the Fitbit app on your phone or Fitbit on the web to manage what it collects. You can read Fitbit's privacy policy here.

If you use Fitbit, you have a profile page, which your friends can see if you link up with them. In fact, anyone with a Fitbit account can see it if they're looking specifically for you. To manage what's visible on this profile through the app, tap your avatar on the top left, then Privacy, then choose what's public and what's private.

Back on the previous screen you can select Manage data to do just that: pick Manage third-party apps, and you can disconnect anything that's been hooked up to Fitbit and that can access the health and fitness data that you're logging.

The other option here is Delete account, which, as you might expect, wipes everything you've ever done with Fitbit from the record, including from Fitbit's servers. If you're really worried about what Google might be planning in terms of data collection and targeted advertising, this is one of the options you might be weighing.

You don't get any options for restricting what Fitbit can track, or for deleting just certain categories of data: It's all or nothing. Once you've set up a Fitbit tracker or smartwatch, it'll track everything unless you remove it from the Fitbit app entirely.

Fitbit includes quite a few social features for challenging your friends and sharing your goals and achievements with other people. To manage the people you're connected toand the people who can see the data you're sharingin the Fitbit app tap your avatar, then your name. From there you can remove or block friends.

Strava

Like Fitbit, Strava encourages social sharing and community interaction, so you need to think about what other people can see in terms of your running routes and your daily step counts, as well as the information that Strava is gathering. You can view the full Strava privacy policy here.

As soon as you open the Strava app, you'll see the Following tab, where you can manage the friends, colleagues, and random acquaintances who are keeping tabs on your activities in Strava. From the same screen you can stop these people from following you and block them from trying to follow you in the future.

Oh, and how about a spot where your kids can take classes, too? If so, your dream studio is definitely here.

EveryBody Movement and Wellness, which officially opened at 4305 Locust Street in West Philly on October 7th, aims to be an inclusive, weight-neutral space for everybody every body to work on their movement and health. That means, for a start, that there are are prenatal and postpartum classes for moms, plus after-school yoga, tumbling, and hip-hop classes for kids.

Not only that, but their 20 group classes include barre, suspension training, kettlebell yoga, vinyasa flow, HIIT, myofascial release (thats foam-rolling, kids), queer yoga, and a variety of Pilates classes ranging from springboard to pelvic floor. Class sizes are intentionally small, with equipment-based classes capped at six participants and most yoga classes capped at 12, meaning you have space to move, and to get a good amount of one-on-one attention, if you want it. Bonus: Every week, four classes are offered on a sliding scale and two are donation-based, making fitness as financially accessible as possible to all clients. (Could we love this studio any more?!)

In addition to small group classes, Everybody Movement and Wellness offers a range of wellness services from certified practitioners, including massages and counseling. Photograph by Sahar Coston-Hardy.

But wait, theres more! If you want to get personal attention, you can sign-up for a 55-minute private Pilates session thats tailored to you. The studio also boasts a (totally chic) wellness room, where all kinds of practitioners offer services like massages, therapy and counseling, and Reiki plus nutritional and health coaching. That way, you can take care of both your body and mind under one roof.

Founder Julia Naftulin, a Pilates instructor, was inspired by the concepts of Health At Every Size and joyful movement after her second pregnancy in 2013. She wanted to open a space of her own where the workouts resonated with her, and where people could find a workout that resonated with them plus take their wellness beyond just working out.

Our goal is to build a happier, healthier community rooted in mental health, self-care, and compassion, Naftulin says. And thats something we can definitely get behind.

Exiting the WWE isnt the end of the road. In this day and age, a lot of the talent thrive without the company; it isnt like the early 2000s anymore. When it comes to Divas, some are thriving with other wrestling companies like AEW or Impact, while others are now making a living by other means, totally outside of the pro wrestling realm.

In this article, well feature former WWE Divas that clearly havent given up when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle, especially inside the gym and surely, with the diet aspect as well. We just cant stop looking at these pictures; lets just say these former WWE Divas are in fine form.

Enjoy the article folks and like always, be sure to share it with a friend. Lets get started!

We just couldnt help ourselves; Torrie is one of the few with two stunning photos on this list. Her IG account is littered with photos in fitness attire.

Wilson is a fitness enthusiast these days and it is remarkable as to how little she has aged over the years.

She retired from WWE at an early age. She would pursue a career in the fitness industry instead, starting her own brand and clothing line.

Without a doubt, she isnt skipping squat day and yeah, she knows how to rock a pair of yoga pants. However, shes back to wrestling tights these days back on the independent scene, hoping to make a WWE return.

Another ageless wonder, it's unbelievable to think that Trish is set to turn 44 in December. Given her recent WWE run, fans that didnt know Trish would think she was still in her early 30s.

The work ethic remains quite strong out of the ring and oh yeah, shes also a mother to two kids.

Just like Kaitlyn, Rosa recently returned to the wrestling ring. She wants to set an example for her daughter which is certainly admirable.

Shes rocking the Gym Shark gear in the pic above and like her app, we can definitely say that Rosa if one Fit Mama.

With CM Punk back in WWE, well, at least through FOX, rumors are now starting to swirl that AJ might be next.

Given the content on her IG account, shes definitely keeping in great shape despite the career change. She also has everyone drooling while she performs some tough pull-ups.

She wanted to enter the ring but WWE was hesitant. She didnt want to be strictly a ring announcer, so Brandi decided to leave the company alongside Cody.

We can say for sure that the decision worked out and then some. Brandi is a pivotal part of AEW at the moment, especially backstage. And oh, she sure knows how to rock workout gear.

She didnt have the best WWE run. Cameron is remembered for a lot of her blunders like pinning an opponent the opposite way.

Nonetheless, shes doing great in her post-WWE life, working as a talk show host. She also has some great fitness content via IG.

She recently left WWE which is so unfortunate. Kacy had such a bright future, her agility in the ring was something else.

No doubt, shell continue with her training despite leaving WWE. Whatever she does post-WWE, we can safely say that shell thrive without any hesitation. And who knows, maybe she might find herself back in WWE one day.

McMahon wasnt into Gail and ultimately given her post-WWE career, hes eating his words. Kim thrived with Impact and she should be considered among the elite of the 2000s.

Like lots of others on this list, Kim is an ageless wonder looking better and better like a fine wine year after year.

It was a failed gimmick that really sunk Emma. Following the failed Emmalina run, Tenille Dashwood was never the same.

Shes keeping the dream alive with Impact Wrestling these days. She hasnt missed a workout either, as evidenced by the photo above. Maybe shell find her way back to WWE at some point.

It was quite the treat for WWE fans as Stacy finally returned, inducting her best friend Torrie Wilson, into the WWE.

It was pretty evident, she hasnt aged a day and remains in phenomenal shape as well. Shes enjoying the family life these days away from the spotlight.

She had the persona to thrive, unfortunately for Summer, she was never slotted properly during her time on the main roster.

Shes still incredibly fit and if the pic above isnt enough, take a quick scroll down her IG account for more stunning photos. Summer is also very active at wrestling conventions.

All red everything is no more as Eva once again changed her hair color, going for a purple look these days. No matter what the hair color or style, Marie always has our attention, especially when it comes to anything fitness related.

She continues to tease a return to the ring fans are likely split on how they feel.

She was an underrated part of the Divas era. Torres became a big fan favorite and she brought it in the ring as well.

Torres left the business running her own self-defense class, empowering women around the world. She started a family, yet still looks to be in fine form. A final WWE run definitely isnt out of the question.

We include another Kaitlyn shot. She knows all about fitness attire, running her own brand following the WWE exit.

She appeared in the Mae Young Classic and we hope she gets another chance to shine on the WWE platform. For the time being, shell continue to work her craft on the indie scene.

One more pic featuring the ageless wonder, Torrie Wilson. Following the WCW merger, lots of stars from the company sank to the bottom, Wilson on the other hand absolutely thrived and she ultimately forged a Hall of Fame-worthy career. Well never forget those backstage skits and gimmicky matches from the early 2000s.

It was only fitting to end the article off with a Trish pic taken recently inside the squared circle. Trish hasnt aged a day and this picture is just further proof of that.

Her match against Charlotte seemed like a last hurray, though some fans believe she has one left in the tank, perhaps against Alexa Bliss.

Dan Potts and trainer Elston Cloy supporting Movember.

When November rolls around every year, I think a lot more about gratitude. Thanksgiving has a way of reminding us how much we have to be grateful for, and I often find myself telling people Im thankful for you and that sort of thing.

And when Movember rolls around every year, I think about my late husband Dan Potts even more than usual and, consequently, the importance of mens health.

Movember was created to bring awareness and attention to mens health in the month of November. Not just diseases such as prostate and testicular cancer, but also mens mental health and suicide prevention. You can show your support for this movement by growing facial hair, and/or raising or giving money for mens health in the month of November. We all have husbands, sons, brothers, fathers, cousins, grandsons and friends that deserve to be supported in living long and healthy lives. Men, you deserve it. A highly worthy cause, in my opinion.

Which reminds me, take a moment to be grateful for the men you love, right now, while they are here and all is well. Trust me.

Prostate cancer took my husband Dans life in 2104. Yet you never saw anyone live so courageously during the 16 years he fought it. It wasnt until the last year of his life that you ever would have known he was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer 15 years earlier.

Dan was the person you looked at and couldnt believe he of all people could have cancer. Years of weight lifting had made his veins quite prominent. Nurses and techs for years oohed and aahed at how easy it was to draw blood and insert IVs. (By the end those veins were destroyed, when they often had to bring in the expert nurses to find any vein in his arm or hand in which to insert a needle.)

Dans lifelong commitment to health and fitness was obvious. He ate well, he exercised, he was resilient and he was athletic and energetic. Yet cancer turns all of our beliefs about health upside down. Cancer patients just as healthy as Dan have lost their lives much sooner than he did. Cancer patients much less healthy than he have gone into remission for years or forever. It feels like there is no rhyme or reason to how cancer and treatment impacts each patient.

However, I strongly believe that Dans care for himself throughout his life was demonstrated in his longevity and resistance not just to the cancer, but to the endless treatments he endured. I cant help but feel that his physical and mental strength and his tremendous spirit and sense of humor carried him through all those years of surgeries, radiation, chemotherapy, hormone-blockers and various drug regimens. I wont go into how he was physically impacted by all of this; its worse than you can imagine. Regardless, we loved each other and laughed together every single day. I marveled at his energy, witnessing him give every day to his clients, athletes, friends and family. And to me.

I know widows whose husbands died of aggressive prostate cancer in a matter of months or a year or two after diagnosis. I am so fortunate that Dan did not. My gratitude for the time he and I had with each other can never be quantified. As I reflect on my life with Dan, I am not sad, nor angry or bitter. I am so very thankful. I am the person that I am today because of his love and support, and I was privileged to love and support him.

Dans cards, letters and notes to me are among my most precious possessions, and I dont think he would mind if I shared some of his words with you:

I love you so very much, and I know and feel in my heart, what you have done for me. Our growth this year has been enormous. I love and look forward to each night. Thank you for the love you give from your heart! Heres looking to 30 more years. I love you, Dan.

We didnt get 30 years, but we got eight. Forever grateful, especially when Movember rolls around.

That man in your life, whoever he is? Or they are? Or perhaps its you? His health is very, very important. Please support him however you can.

When Julie and Travis Green of Ashburn were searching for a fitness studio franchise to open in Loudoun County, they discovered an up-and-coming brand called Eat the Frog, which launched in Arizona in 2017.

Eat the Frog offers around-the-clock access to the workout studio with both virtual and coach-led small group classes. Every eight weeks, clients complete a fitness assessment to track their progress and goals. The training and business model were developed by Bryan Clay, an Olympic Decathalon Gold Medalist in 2008, who teamed up with his friend and businessman Joe Culver.

In an interview with the Times-Mirror, Clay said he developed Eat the Frog because he wanted to create his own studio around the group fitness concept but he wanted to do something different than what was already out there.

I'm passionate about fitness and know it well. I wanted to bring the best things about personal training and group fitness together in one place. We are aiming to create something to change people's lives and something I can be proud of a personalized approach to group fitness. It's been fun so far, Clay said.

Clay said most people are looking for a quick fix. Instead, he hopes to create a community that instills consistency and discipline with regular workouts.

Fitness is cumulative. When you start to feel your body respond, you can improve your quality of life and we will help develop a long term fitness plan to change your life, Clay said.

Each workout is designed for low impact, but high intensity so there is less risk of injury and it produces quick results, said Julie Green.

A fitness guru who has taught at studios around the area for many years, Julie Green liked the fact that Eat the Frog studios are open 24/7 so it would not restrict when people could come and take a class.

She also appreciated that their business model provides every client with a fitness assessment when they come in the door. This way, people can set goals and then be reassessed every eight weeks to see how they are progressing.

Each class can be done at your own pace, so it attracts different levels who can all be in the same class at the same time and at various ages, she said.

Eat the Frog Fitness Broadlands opened Nov. 4. It is located at 43170 Southern Walk Plaza next to Rubino's Pizza.

Last month we published an article about the Army Combat Fitness Test. Specifically, it outlined how leaked results from the Armys initial test period showed 84% of women are currently failing the test. The same contributor had written about the Army Combat Fitness test in the past how it would impact the Guard and Reserve, and also how the new test was complicating a system that has always been pretty straightforward (its not hard to misinterpret a test based on a run, sit-ups and push-ups add in a host of new elements and equipment, and things get more complicated).

Each of those posts did well, but there was something about the spotlight on how women were performing on the test that set off a firestorm of debate and comments we received more than 700 comments from readers about the ACFT. After personally reading each of them, its clear the U.S. Army (or internet trolls) is passionate about fitness.

Im an Army girl I worked for the Office of the Chief of Public Affairs, spent significant time at a number of Army installations, and am the daughter of a U.S. Army Vietnam War vet. One of my favorite military bloggers once noted we all have our favorite flavor of military ice cream and despite the fact that my husband spent years working for the Air Force and I now live outside of Offutt Air Force Base my favorite flavor will always be Army green.

The thought of putting on my Hooah pride and taking the ACFT intrigued me even if my chances of failure seemed pretty high. Ive had four kids, and running late is my typical cardio. But I love a challenge, and with so much divisiveness and contention surrounding the test, I wanted to see how I could stack up.

Calling in a certified fitness trainer and with the help of a CrossFit-esque gym, I put the test, to the test. Did I fail? Absolutely. Did I have fun doing it? You bet. The amount of equipment required for the test certainly stands out right away. Critics have argued its not an easy test to train for in that respect and Ill agree. That said, Ive never pulled a sleigh in my life (other than pulling my kids up the hill on a snow day), and I was able to pass all aspects of the Sprint-Drag-Carry with ease (I equated the kettlebell carry to carrying two tired toddlers home after a long day at the zoo been there, done that). Another criticism that I can agree with is the difficulty in scoring the test. The deadlift is more of a squat, as my trainer pointed out. And what makes for a perfect hand release push-up? I certainly dont know.

My nemesis was the same exercise that foiled the vast majority of women and even quite a few men the leg tuck. After four kids, my core strength is obviously a bit out of shape. All the yoga in the world will not get your legs up to your elbows without some upper body strength. And here is where the gender divide starts I obviously have less upper body strength than all of those guys skipping leg day at Golds Gym (you know who you are).

Could I train my way into passing the test? I think so, and I might try. Or I might go to Starbucks and drink my second peppermint mocha of the day. Its hard to say. Im also not going to take an official stance on the test the U.S. Army may be my favorite flavor, but this isnt my test. I trust those in uniform to weigh in, and I can count on Army leadership to change (or lower!) the standards if they decide they need to.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - Not only can the holidays bring stress, but they can also take a toll on your body.

Fitness experts say doing exercises like yoga and pilates can keep you relaxed and help eliminate tension in your body and mind. If you're a little more advanced, they suggest trying high-intensity workouts like strength training or cycling. These exercises can often help you get into the right mental space during the holiday season, while also getting in a good workout.

Exercising during the holidays can also be a bonding experience for the entire family. Studio director Morgan Horton at Fly Fitness says by modifying certain moves in workouts, everyone can get involved, "Take out the jump. Take out any hopping. Keep both feet on the ground. You can still get in an amazing workout. Your whole family can do it. Your 8-year-old cousin, your grandma can do it, as long as you're being careful, listening to your body and doing those things that feel really good to you."

With our routines being thrown off track during the busy holidays, Horton says staying committed to keeping your body moving is important, even if it's only 20 minutes a day.

BERLIN This time a name change will accompany their new location, but owners of Green Mountain CrossFit are readying to take their burgeoning business to the next level by acquiring the super-sized fitness center next door.

It isnt a done deal yet, but Nick Pettersen said Monday he and his wife, Cady, expect to acquire First In Fitness on Granger Road in coming weeks. Pettersen predicted the closing will occur before Christmas, paving the way for planned renovations that will lead to a February move and the launch of Green Mountain Community Fitness.

Pettersen said the pending sale is the final step in achieving the vision he had when he started Green Mountain CrossFit in Montpelier a decade ago. The business quickly outgrew the converted riverside restaurant and moved to its current location a converted bowling alley on Granger Road in Berlin.

That move was nearly nine years ago and saw Pettersens business go from leasing less than 2,000 square feet to a renting a full 10,000 square feet.

The common denominator in that business model was leasing something Pettersen always viewed as an interim step to owning his own facility.

Though he passed on the possibility when he was approached two years ago, Pettersen said he remained intrigued by the prospect of acquiring First In Fitness from long-time owner Michael Woodfield. More recent conversations produced an agreement that will see the 47,000-square-foot Berlin facility change hands.

Pettersen said he couldnt be happier.

We saw a great chance to own some property, to be able to find a permanent home for Green Mountain CrossFit (and) to fit our operations into our original vision, he explained.

Though that vision initially involved building a large-scale fitness facility and recreation center that serves all of central Vermont, Pettersen said buying one works, too.

We see the First In Fitness acquisition as a huge leap forward in exposing more people to community-based fitness in our region, he said, suggesting Green Mountain Community Fitness (GMCF) will be a locally owned, family friendly, one-stop shop for health conscious central Vermonters.

Casual exercisers, gym class addicts, competitive outdoor athletes, and everyone in between will be able to find a home at GMCF, he said.

It will just look a little somewhat different than First In Fitness has for most of its 40-plus years.

While Pettersen has a long-term vision of an aquatics center that would require years of planning and municipal buy-in, hes also got a short-term plan that will involve a mix of cleaning, construction and juggling some uses within the spacious facility.

Part of the plan will involve subleasing more than 8,000 square feet of the space to health, wellness and fitness businesses, like the four that will follow Green Mountain CrossFit when it makes the move next door. That includes a the martial arts group, a massage therapist a canine acupuncturist and a home-birth consultant who collectively occupy roughly 1,500 square feet of Green Mountain CrossFits location.

Pettersen said he has some commitments and others have expressed interest in space that will be freed up during the initial round of renovations. He said hes excited about the prospect of adding an on-premise day care facility and a food service cafe.

Our goal is to place a lot of services in one location that individuals and families want to use on a daily basis, Pettersen said.

We want to make it that third space where people are able to come before and after work, with and without their family and spend an hour or more getting the services they need, he added.

Initial plans call for draining and cleaning and upgrading the indoor pool that Pettersen views as a regional resource.

Its a nice size six-lane pool it just needs some TLC, he said, noting the hope is to open up the space to more natural lighting, while sprucing up locker rooms that are in need of attention.

Pettersen said the biggest change will involve converting two of four indoor tennis courts into an area that includes exercise studios, an extensive collection of cardio machines and equipment from a gym now located on the first floor of the building.

A little bit less than half of the tennis barn is going to get a radical overhaul into a nice, state-of-the-art fitness facility focusing more on functional fitness, he said, noting plans involve constructing a new mezzanine for the cardio machines taking full advantage of the tennis courts high ceilings.

Two of the tennis courts will remain and Pettersen said he is committed to maximizing their availability for members to play and take lessons.

According to Pettersen, more than half of the facility 27,000 square feet is currently dedicated to tennis, which is a largely seasonal use. The change, he said, would still accommodate that important use while centralizing various fitness aspects of the operation.

Work will start after the sale is finalized, and is expected to be completed in February. Pettersen said the targeted upgrades wont require closing the facility, but will the move from the building next door will wait until it is finished.

Itll be a big conga line of equipment moving up the hill, Pettersen said, joking the move could be a training opportunity for Green Mountain CrossFits 300 members.

Woodfield who acquired the well-established Berlin business 15 years ago, said the pending sale to Pettersen and his wife, Cady Hart-Pettersen, was a positive development for all involved.

I am excited that with the change of ownership this facility will continue to serve the community for many years to come, he said.

Pettersen said he will focus on immediate upgrades, but has a bigger vision for the facility that is several years and a successful capital campaign away. Creating an aquatics center would be a regional attraction is the logical next step, he said, noting it would respond to interest that has been expressed over the years by residents in Barre, Montpelier and other surrounding communities.

Its a down-the-road conversation, but Pettersen said he is already thinking about it.

We have this great resource, its centrally located and we would be open to a cooperative approach for creating something even more special in central Vermont, he said.

Chinese tech giant Xiaomi has launched the Mi Band 3i, a successor to Mi Band HRX, in India. It will be available for pre-order on Mi.com starting November 21 for Rs 1,299.

The company emphasizes that its latest affordable fitness band is made specifically for the Indian market. Xiaomi also launched its most recent Mi Band 4 in the country a couple of months ago, priced at Rs 2,299. The new addition to Xiaomi's current wearable portfolio in India will give another option to buyers looking for a more affordable alternative.

It will further strengthen Xiaomi's position in the wearable segment in India, as it's currently the number one wearable company in the country. As per Canalys Wearable Band Analysis, Aug 2019, Xiaomi holds the number one spot with 39% market share in the segment.

It comes with several new upgrades over its predecessor, Mi Band HRX. The display size is increased from 1.2cm to 1.9cm, with AMOLED technology and touch support added on top.

While the Mi Band 3i retains basic metric tracking like steps and calories, it also introduces notification viewing on the band. It also features the "Find Device" option, which allows users to detect the paired smartphone directly from the band. Mi Smart Band 3i is water-resistant up to 5ATM (50 meters in depth for 10 minutes), letting users wear it while swimming or taking a shower.

The Mi Band 3i has a 110mAh battery, a significant increase over its predecessor's 70mAh cell. Xiaomi claims up to 20 days of usage, which has been a constant on the previously launched Mi Band devices.
