Apex to open ‘ninja warrior’ fitness park Saturday – WRAL.com

By Sarah Lindenfeld Hall

Apex will open the new Elevate Fitness Course on Saturday, which the town says is the first of its kind in the country.

Inspired by the popular obstacle course fitness trend, the course features a variety of pieces where participants can jump, balance and climb.

It's designed with teens in mind - ages 13 and up - because of the size and difficulty of the devices. Younger kids may have fun here, but they might not be big enough to reach up or use the equipment as intended. But, Angela Reincke, Apex parks planner, said the town's parks and recreation department will be creating programs for all ages and abilities there, including, potentially seniors and those with special needs.

"It's a 'ninja warrior course,'" said Reincke, "but something most of us can do."

The course is at Apex Community Park, 2200 Laura Duncan Rd., Apex. A ribbon cutting is set for 9 a.m., Saturday. If you go, be ready to work out. It will be free to use the course.

Reincke said the course is less than a year in the making and is opening thanks to a collaboration with Wisconsin-based Burke Playground Equipment and Morrisville-based Barrs Recreation, a family-owned business that sells commercial playground equipment from Burke.

Apex's course is a national test site. There, Burke is developing fitness courses that will eventually be held at the course and, potentially, elsewhere around the country. In August, the company will share more details about the programs they are working to create and the benefits, Reincke said.

Reincke said the project was a natural fit for Apex where officials have been working to offer more programs and venues that appeal to teens - often a hard-to-reach population. The town opened a skateboard plaza in 2015. In fact, then President Barack Obama recognized Apex Police Captain Jacques Gilbert as a Champion for Change because of his work to open the skate plaza in downtown Apex.

Finding fun, safe and healthy activities for teens, said Reincke, has been a "huge focus." She hopes that teens will give it a shot.

"If they're not really engaged in a sport, you miss getting the teen population involved," Reincke said. "Our hope is it's not just a playground, but that it's kind of cool."

Fitness is a family thing – Destin Log

Savannah Vasquez @DestinLogSav

Four-year-old Brodie Bowen and her brother, 8-year-old Slade, are regulars at Militia Fitness in Destin. In fact, the two show up at almost every day at the gym, eager to workout.

I like squats and I love dancing its my favorite, said Brodie.

I like to make my own workouts, added Slade. Mostly, I like planks, and I like games.

The brother-sister duo are the son and daughter of Militia Fitness founders Jordon and Jesse Bowen, and the family are a fitness force to be reckoned with.

I was a pararescue before and Jesse was an intelligence analyst for the Air Force, so we both had to be in shape for our jobs, said Jordon. Jesse liked to workout on the elliptical only, and I finally got her to go to the gym with me to lift weights. About six months after we had Slade, we decided to get out of the military and open our first gym.

Thus, in 2009, both Militia Fitness and the culture of Bowen family fitness was born.

We started bringing them to the gym when they were babies, said Jesse. They just watched us so much that they wanted to get in on the action.

Today, Jordon is a Strongman competitor and Jesse is a figure competitor, so the family of four are a familiar sight at Militia Fitness. Whether it be lifting weights or having spontaneous dance parties to celebrate personal records, the entire family gets in on the daily workout routine.

Its awesome, said Jesse. We follow the program of the gym, but we scale it back for the kids and make it fun for them. We focus on teaching them form first, but we always make it fun.

For us its about longevity, added Jordon. We always say, Lets have fun with this, because there is no way youre going to stay with fitness for life unless youre having fun.

Jordon said that he believes that statement so much that he built the phrase into the gyms motto; Community, Never Quit and Have Fun.

The community is for edifying and its fun to workout with other people. Never quit is about staying consistent and having fun is about enjoying what youre doing; it should be difficult but enjoyable.

As for the kids, Jesse and Jordon said in their gyms, kids of all ages are welcome.

We are very family friendly, said Jesse. I think as the kids sit there and watch their parents, it inspires them to want to workout. We have members who tell us their 1 year olds do burpees at home.

Sure enough, even before the camera was rolling, Brodie and Slade got to work. Brodie attempted her first ever chin-up, and upon accomplishing it, celebrated by ringing the P.R. bell.

Slade took a challenge from his dad, and the two dead-lifted over their heads and held the barbell for a father-son pose.

They cant help it, they love it, said Jesse.

Hooyah! called Jordon, to which his wife and quickly kids echoed, Never Quit!

Why I Left a Career in Freestyle, Big Box Fitness for Orangetheory Fitness – HuffPost

Youve all seen the hashtags. #Base #Push #AllOut. The buzzfeed articles on Orangetheory Fitness. Your timeline and Instagram feeds fill up with the familiar post workout summary of how many splat points your friends all got. Then the follow up questions from their fellow Orangenation people. OMG was it a power day? No wait..endurance. It must be endurance. Because at Orangetheory Fitness, every one of their studios is doing the exact same workout on that exact same day. These are just a few of the reasons I joined the Orangetheory Fitness coaching team.

The one thing that has been constant about the fitness industry is that it is always embracing the newest of everything

Ive been in the fitness industry for just over 20 years and have to say Ive seen it all. I think Ive been around long enough to even be a part of most of it. Except slide. Im quite happy I wasnt a part of slide. The fitness industry is a very interesting industry due to its constant evolving and trending. There are celebrity trainers by the boat load and for every celebrity trainer with a DVD fitness program there are 1000 more trainers thinking they are going to be the next one. The one thing that has been constant about the fitness industry is that it is always embracing the newest of everything. Technologies and what will make the biggest difference in the world of fitness and health.

From spin classes that have video screens taking you on an imaginary outside ride through the hillsides of France to boots with springs on them that make you jump like a kangaroo. Then came the world of wearable technology. This is what Ill refer to as the start. NOT the game changer. But the start of it all. The Nike fuel band gave way to Fitbit and the Apple Watch. But when you think about it. Other then a pedometer what else do people use it for? Are they actually checking their heart rate throughout the day? Or in their workouts?

Ive taught everything from Bootcamp to Spin, PiYo to P90X. One thing I can tell you, my body has suffered. That just seems to be a byproduct of the world of inspiring, teaching, motivating and changing lives. Do as I say not as I do. The amount of abuse my body and thousands of other instructors has taken over the years. Even if as an instructor you subscribe, like I do, to the 30% rule of never doing more the 30% of the class youre teaching which usually rounds out to about 40 to 45%. But were usually teaching approximately 20 classes a week to make sure we can afford to do things, like live. Do that long enough and some of that living expense goes to things like massage and chiropractors to help heal what weve done to ourselves. Now, Im going to be honest with you. About 20% of the people we were helping in big box freestyle classes actually get results. Not that they dont want to. But they just dont know what their output is. Its not just that they dont know their output, theyre probably in a class with 40 or more people and one instructor that to be honest, cant watch all 40 at the same time.

Im no longer an instructor. Im a Coach

So why did I leave big box fitness, a position as a Master Trainer of a very large fitness company and brand and format? Well, to be honest. I like being on top. Orangetheory Fitness is just getting warmed up and at this point the sky is the limit. When I say I want to be at the top I mean with a company that is leading the change. For the first time in ever there is a workout that has FINALY put together the old with the new. Wearable technology that broadcasts each individual in the class heart rate percentage to a screen in the room which allows the coach to help the member get to where their heart rate needs to be. Along side good old fashioned (updated and top of the line) treadmills, water rowers and strength training all in a less then a one hour workout. As a coach I am able to do what Im passionate about and thats changing lives. Being a part of someones journey. Not that I wasnt before but I get to actually see their progress in real time. Day after day. Help them push to levels I've not been able to do before because theres a difference between someones Perceived exertion and Actual exertion. I also get to put my knowledge and experience and passion into each class and not feel like Im killing my body to do it. Any instructor reading this knows what Im talking about. Carrying KT Tape, ice packs and Aleve in my gym bag after teaching 9 classes in two days. Like I said, do as I say not as I do. Im no longer an instructor. Im a Coach. Because at Orangetheory Im coaching members to reach their best. To push one more rep out. To increase their speed by 0.1 miles an hour to show them that they are capable of doing it. Which makes them capable of reaching the goals they thought were just too far out of reach to achieve.

Being with Orangetheory allows me to do what I truly love. Help change lives

It is so hard for a group x instructor to know exactly what people are actually doing in class when it comes to their exertion. Thats why we call it RPE or a Rate of Perceived Exertion. We still use that in Orangetheory but its in conjunction with the heart rate monitors. Teaching members what they should FEEL like at each level. Then we add EPOC. Thats the Excess Post Exercise Oxygen where Orangetheory Fitness members get to burn more 15%-20% more calories at rest for 24 to 36 hours after class. I tell my members its the magic pill weve all been looking for except it takes just under an hour to swallow. This is the first workout that I know of that has science backing it. HIIT or High Intensity Interval Training is one of the most poplar and effective systems a person can do. Adding a heart rate monitor to make sure you are where you need to be and at the right time isnt a colourful gimmick. Its the Game Changer. As you workout 3 to 4 times a week at Orangetheory and I get to watch the speeds of members on the treadmill increase because you see their heart rate is getting stronger is amazing. Working with groups of up to 14 people on the fitness floor doing strength training feeds my love of personal training and once again, allowing me to help them change. The water rowers are the thing that people love to hate. Its hard for so many and once again, Its part of the draw to Orangetheory Fitness. Because its the challenge members are looking for. They're looking for a change. That change is in themselves. They know its hard. But they also know that you are stronger with a challenge. They know that theyve already don't that comfortable thing. Its time for them to get uncomfortable.

I left big box freestyle fitness to join Orangetheory Fitness because its the way fitness is going. Its the way leadership in the fitness industry is going. I dont want to have my face on a DVD or infomercial. I want to be a part of someones journey. I want to see people smile when they know theyve done it. Orangetheory Fitness. With their pre-formatted workouts and constant monitoring of our members and their TRIBE like group of members and coaches are changing the world and I wanted to be a part of that. From what Ive seen so do the members. Theres a reason youre seeing Orangetheory Fitness pop up all over the place. IT WORKS!!! It works for members. It works for fitness professionals.

Just like change is hard for our members. It was hard for change in me. To give up what I had known in fitness for years. To leave making my own classes. My own playlists. It was hard. But I took the energy and effort in making the best classes ahead of time to making the best classes in real time. Being with Orangetheory allows me to do what I truly love. Help change lives. Not just others, but my own. I left big box to grow. I left big box to be the best.

Airport Fitness Studios Are Opening All Over and It’s Kind of Amazing – SELF

Welcome to This Week in Wellness! Once a week, we'll bring you the latest news from the wellness world that has SELF editors talking while sporting our favorite swimsuits .

Here's What We're Talking About

What this means, we think, is that it's time to bust out your favorite two-piece suit and strut your stuff, even if you just do it in your house. And if you don't own a bikini, put on a one piece (sound fancy and call it a maillot) and do the same damn thing because you should absolutely love your own body and wear whatever the heck makes you feel like a queen. Or consider National Bikini Day your excuse to check out some of our favorite affordable styles from Forever21 or a suit that won't fall down , no matter how active you getincluding that living-room strut. (Let these amazing body-positive women inspire you if you're still feeling a bit shy.)

Many international airports have their fitness studio game on lock, with in-terminal, tricked-out locations in destinations including Dubai, Munich, and Singapore. Just announced: This fall, Heathrow Airport will roll out its own gym, designed in partnership with FlyFit. The space will offer both instructor-led and interactive strength, restorative yoga, and cardio classes. Located at the London airport's Terminal Two, there will also be rental workout clothing, shower facilities, and healthy food options on site to ensure a trip (at least to your destination) full of fitness.

The trend is taking off stateside, too. (Sorry, had to.) While airports like Dallas-Fort Worth and San Francisco International both offer in-terminal yoga studios, ROAM Fitness just launched their second location in Chicago, after a successful airport fitness studio launch at Baltimore-Washington International, in the nation's capital. ROAM, like FlyFit's Heathrow facility, has a slew of classes, machines, showers, and even Lulu apparel to borrow. But you have to give it back. Bummer, I know.

Yoga can be served up all kinds of waysfloating in the pool , Harry Potter-style yoga, and goat yoga come to mindbut the latest trend to hit the L.A. yoga scene isn't one we could have expected. Toronto-based studio Yoga Modo is offering its cult-favorite hot-yoga classes set to live violins at its brand-new Echo Park location, according to the Los Angeles Times . Another studio is set to open in the beachside Venice neighborhood by the end of the summer, which has us wondering what kind of live music that studio will be seeingbecause you never really know what's gonna go down in eccentric Venice.

Have you ever sat down and thought about how much coffee you drank over the past ten years? Neither have we, though we have thought about how it affects our body . This weekend, one amazingly inspirational Friends superfan decided to tally up every single cup of each of the main characters drank in the 236 episodes aired on NBC, according to Food Beast . That's a lot of television watching. We're impressed. But Twitter user Kit Lovelace was insistent on completing his mission, and discovered that the biggest coffee drinker was Phoebe, clocking in with 227 cups, while Rachel was at the bottom, having consumed just 138 cups. Maybe that's why she was never a good waitress? Check out the work Lovelace did on Twitter below.

Power naps are the stuff of godsand experts back us up here! "The power nap is a godsend," James B. Maas, Ph.D., sleep expert, professor and past chair of the psychology department at Cornell University, told SELF in 2016 , as it helps with attention, concentration, memory, mood, and stress management. But when it comes to snoozing, Europe's got us beat on how to get some quick shut eye: napping bars. That's right, nap bars are now a thing in Spain, because, well, siestas. You can now visit Siesta and Go in Madrid, as reported by Well + Good, where you are able to rent QT in bed by the minute until you're refreshed. And with locations already in Brussels, London, and Tokyo, we just have one question: Can you please open one up in the States soon?

And just in case you weren't morose enough already to be back to the office after the July 4th holiday, take a look at this MESMERIZING hyperlapse video that Ina Garten posted last week that's giving us serious holiday FOMO. What's become an "annual tradition" to Gartenthe creation of a flag-inspired cakehas also become a social-media challenge, one that yes, our bellies are very happy with. Check out the video below, but only if you promise not to cry that you had to go back to work today.

Tune in next week for more wellness news!

Should your kids be screened for obesity? – Star2.com

With obesity still rising among certain groups of children, a US government panel is renewing its advice that all children and adolescents ages six to 18 be screened for obesity.

Screening is just the first step. Kids who are obese should then be referred to treatment programmes that use a variety of approaches to change their behaviour and help them slim down.

The recommendations were issued recently by the US Preventive Services Task Force, a group of experts appointed by the Department of Health and Human Services Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. The task forces advice influences healthcare providers and the coverage offered by health insurers.

The new recommendations, which were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, earned a B grade from the task force. That means the experts determined with moderate certainty that the overall benefit of obesity screening and treatment referral is moderate.

Here are more details about the new recommendations.

Is screening really necessary? Cant you tell if a child is obese just by looking at them?

You may not necessarily be able to tell if a child is obese just by looking at them. As extra pounds become the new normal, fewer parents are able to recognise when their childs weight is too high.

Besides, the medical definition of childhood obesity is pretty specific.

You start by measuring a childs height and weight, and using that to calculate his or her body mass index (BMI). Thats weight (measured in kilograms) divided by height (measured in meters) squared. There are online calculators to help you.

To determine if a child meets the criteria for obesity, you compare his or her BMI to the BMIs of other children who are the same age.

Doctors use growth charts from 2000 as a baseline for these comparisons. If a childs BMI is high enough to land him or her in the top 5%, he or she is considered obese. Today, about 17% of Americans ages two to 19 are in this category, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Whats wrong with having a high BMI?

Children with obesity are at greater risk for a variety of health conditions. These include asthma, high blood pressure, insulin resistance, high cholesterol, orthopaedic problems and obstructive sleep apnoea.

The task force also noted that obese children are more likely to experience mental health and psychological issues, as well as to be teased or be targeted by bullies.

What if its just baby fat?

Kids may not be able to just grow out of their baby fat phase. Tracking studies show that about 64% of pre-teens who are obese, grow up to become obese adults.

By the time kids become teenagers, the odds are even more stacked against them nearly 80% of obese teens go on to become obese adults.

Adults who are obese (defined as having a BMI of 30 or higher) are more likely to develop serious chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease as well as certain types of cancer.

OK, lets say my paediatrician tells me my kid is obese. Now what?

The task force advises doctors to help their patients find a comprehensive, intensive behavioural intervention. Thats a fancy way of describing a weight-loss counselling programme.

What am I looking for?

In clinical trials, the programmes that were most effective shared several features:

They included at least 26 contact hours with patients, spread out over a period of months. The ones with the best results had 52 contact hours, enough for one hour per week for an entire year.

They involved not just the child, but also his or her parents and siblings.

They included instruction on healthful eating, including steps such as how to read nutrition information on food labels.

They showed kids how to exercise safely and supervised some of their workouts.

They taught kids the value of reducing their access to junk food, limiting their screen time and steering clear of other triggers that could undermine their progress.

They helped kids learn how to set goals for themselves, monitor their progress and reward themselves when appropriate.

Where am I going to find that?

A programme like this can involve not just doctors, but also dietitians, psychologists, exercise physiologists and other kinds of specialists.

The task force acknowledged that some families would have limited access to programmes like this, but it didnt dwell on this problem.

Others did. In an editorial published recently in JAMA Internal Medicine, Drs Jason Block and Emily Oken of Harvard Medical School pointed out that in most areas of the United States, programmes like this simply arent available.

Among childrens hospitals, for instance, only 60% have something that meets the task forces criteria, and only 25% have a programme that lasts a full year.

Even if a child is fortunate enough to live near one of these hospitals, his or her family might not be able to afford to use it, they added.

Three other doctors from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine were even more critical.

In a JAMA editorial, Drs Rachel Thornton, Raquel Hernandez and Tina Cheng wrote that the task forces recommendations could wind up diverting resources from more practical public health measures that would probably do more to reduce childhood obesity.

Like what?

The trio touted efforts to keep junk foods out of schools and prevent companies from marketing sugary drinks to kids.

Drs Block and Oken mentioned some other policies that have been shown to improve kids eating habits, such as taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages or changes in the rules governing the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children.

Greater focus on policies that support healthful behaviours across all settings will be essential not only in ensuring the sustained success of treatment for established obesity, but also in preventing its onset, the Harvard pair wrote.

Cant the doctor just prescribe some kind of medicine?

The task force considered two medications that are sometimes used to help kids lose weight, orlistat and metformin.

Clinical trials have found that both drugs helped children lose about five to seven pounds (2.3 to 3.2kg).

But that wasnt enough to reduce their BMIs by even one point.

However, the drugs did cause side effects, such as vomiting, cramping and uncontrolled passage of stool, according to the panels report.

Overall, the experts concluded that the clinical benefit of these drugs was uncertain.

Didnt I hear that the childhood obesity epidemic had stabilised?

Thats true for American children overall its been around 17% for about the past decade, according to data from the CDCs National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. At the turn of the century, that figure was about 14%; in the 1970s, it was under 6%.

But some groups of kids are still getting fatter. For instance, obesity rates are still rising among African-American girls and Latino boys.

Also, the proportion of kids who are severely obese continues to grow. Los Angeles Times/Tribune News Service/Karen Kaplan

NSC: 8 Tips for Safe Driving this Holiday Weekend (and All Summer Long) – EHS Today

The Independence Day holiday weekend begins on 6 p.m. ET Friday, June 30 and ends at 11:59 p.m. ET Tuesday, July 4. During this period, the National Safety Council (NSC) estimates that 582 people will lose their lives in traffic accidents.

The estimate is the highest the NSC has released since 2006. The organization says an additional 66,900 people possibly could be injured.

"The Council issues these estimates to empower drivers to make safe decisions behind the wheel, because the only acceptable number of deaths is zero, said Deborah A.P. Hersman, NSC president and CEO in a statement. We hope Americans will spend their holiday safely watching fireworks and celebrating with families rather than sitting in an emergency room."

According to the NSCs State of Safety report, the number of preventable deaths on the roads, in homes, communities and the workplace are at an all-time high.

The organization recommends the following tips to ensure a safer holiday weekend:
