Fitness trackers have a lot of benefits, but they won't get you in shape all by themselves.(Photo: yacobchuk, Getty Images/iStockphoto)
Fitness trackers seem to be everywhere. I see the different tracker bracelets on high school students wearing them as well as shoppers when I am out in the community. Depending on the type, trackers can count steps or mileage, measure heartbeat and keep track of how much you sleep. People connect them via apps to log a history of their workouts, but do fitness trackers improve their health?
According to the latest research, that answer is no. A study published by the Journal of the American Medicine Association last fall found that people wearing fitness trackers who followed a low-calorie diet plan and exercise plan did not lose as much weight as those study participants following the same diet and exercise plan, but did not wear fitness trackers.
That does not mean you should toss your FitBit, Jawbone or other wearable device. These devices do offer some benefit, but losing a lot of weight is probably not one of them, especially if you are not following an exercise and diet plan.
Since all devices are different, they do not all have the same features. If you have a wearable fitness device or are thinking about buying one, here are tips to get the most benefit from it:
Set a daily goal and aim to beat it. Most health experts recommend people take at least 10,000 steps a day. That is a good goal to begin with. If that goal is beyond what you can handle, set a lower number and look to raise it over time.
Movement tracker: Some devices can detect how long you have been sitting and will vibrate if you have not moved for a certain amount of time. If yours has that option, go ahead and use it. It will serve as a good reminder to get up and get moving.
Track heart rate. Please note these devices do not provide an accurate heart rate reading, but they can provide you with a good idea of how much your workout is raising your heart rate. If you raise your heart rate to 50 percent of your maximum, an estimated 85 percent of your calories burned will come from fat. Exercising at a lower intensity also burns fat, but not as quickly.
Track your sleep. Many trackers can log how much you sleep get each night. For some, this is an eye opener since it turns out they spend more time tossing and turning than actually sleeping. Once you have a clear idea of how much sleep you are getting, you can change your habits so you can sleep more soundly.
Track your routes: Many fitness trackers have built-in GPS so you can use it to easily track your running, walking or cycling routes. It will provide you with an exact distance and your speed. If you do the same route regularly, it will easily allow you to compare different workouts to see if you are getting faster.
Wearing a fitness tracker by itself will not improve your health, but you can use it to keep track of your activities and then use that information to make some positive health changes.

LA Fitness member claims club hot tub gave him a disease – New York Post
Fitness Comments Off on LA Fitness member claims club hot tub gave him a disease – New York Post
A Long Island man filed a $2.5 million suit against gym chain LA Fitness Monday, claiming a dip in one of their hot tubs left him battling Legionnaires disease.
LA Fitness member Earl Stewart says he was hospitalized for a week with the aggressive form of pneumonia after lounging around the spa area of the Garden City Park LA Fitness branch in Nov. 2016, according to papers filed in Brooklyn Federal Court.
The Deer Park resident says he remains sick and disabled, following his innocent use of the facilities.
After Stewart was diagnosed, the Nassau County Department of Health descended on the fitness center, and discovered it was crawling with legionellathe bacteria that causes Legionnairesforcing health inspectors to shut down the spa, jacuzzi, and pool indefinitely, the complaint states.
It remained unclear if the facilities had re-opened, as an employee from the Garden City Park branch hung up on a Post reporter.
Stewarts attorney did not return a message.

An Indianapolis man was sentenced to more than 30 years Monday for his involvement in an attempted murder at a Lawrence gym.
Bryan Fearman pleaded guilty to attempted murder earlier this month, according to a news release, and received a 35-year sentence for stabbing his ex-boyfriend in the back with a kitchen knife at an L.A. Fitness in July 2015.
Lawrence police were dispatched to the gym in the9900 block of Pendleton Pike, where they found the man without a pulse, the knife's handle still sticking out of his back.
Fearman fled the gym on foot, but was eventually found by police. He told officers he did not care whether his ex-boyfriend lived or died, according to court documents.
Court documents also detailed several previous incidents involving Fearman and the ex-boyfriend, including a protection orderfiled by the ex-boyfriend in the summer of 2014.
The request for a protection order details how Fearman allegedly broke windows at theman's home in March 2013, bit him and attempted to stab him with a broken bottle. Then, in July 2014, Fearman allegedly broke windows at the man's grandmother's home while the family watched TV.
Fearman also made threatening phone calls and sent threatening text messages, threatened a Domino's employee who previously had a relationship with the ex-boyfriend, smashed the windows of a van belonging to a family member of the ex-boyfriend and was allegedly involved in an attempted arson at the house where the ex-boyfriend was staying, according to court documents.
Despite the protection order, Fearman told police, the pair continued to see one another. He had gone to the gym that day to discuss a $700 charge on Fearman's debit card, which he told police the ex-boyfriend had done while he was in jail on felony intimidation charges, according to court documents.

Taberski explored some of the darker theories in his podcast, but in the end concluded that, based on all the information he had, Simmons' longtime house keeper and friend Teresa Reveles, who had been the subject of many of the rumors, "is just doing her job. Moreover form what I hear now she seems to be doing it well."
Catalano, Simmons' older brother Lenny, and others interviewed for the podcast also said Simmons was doing fine, Taberski said, although they may not know or understand the reasons behind his decision to suddenly stop attending classes at his well known Simmons Studio in Beverly Hills in February 2014 and never return.
During the last episode of the podcast, Taberski also spoke with LAPD Detective Kevin Becker, who paid a welfare visit to Simmons a few months ago. Becker said Simmons was "fine" and seemed healthy and Reveles was "nice" and cooperative, Taberski said.
Simmons' studio closed in November, and while the final class was attended by Taberski, he said, it was not attended by the Slimmons' founder.
Asked why Simmons would skip out on the closing of the studio he was once so dedicated to, Catalano said it would have been too emotional.
"You know for Richard, who wears his emotions on his sleeveless tank top, it would have been too much for him," he told Taberski.

H4G fuels fitness hunger – Stanly News & Press
Fitness Comments Off on H4G fuels fitness hunger – Stanly News & Press
According to Chris Watson, fitness instructor for the new Albemarle fitness group H4G, the key component to fitness is not a gym membership or a special diet, a particular workout routine or a new app to download.
The key is hunger, Watson said. Hunger to be better and to grow, to want to move up and step out.
That is the idea at the heart of his new fitness group, H4G. Short for hungry for gains, the group started about seven months ago and now averages about 15-30 people a session.
Most of those members are new to fitness, Watson noted, but whether getting started or toning up, everyone has a driving desire to improve, Watson noted.
Thats what I love, Watson said. I love to see people work hard.
That driving desire to push forward is not always easy to maintain, though. As a multi-sport athlete who graduated from Stanly County Schools in 2010, Watson said it is nearly impossible to do that alone. It takes a team.
In fact, he started H4G as a way to keep his own family gnawing after a healthier lifestyle.
My dad and his girlfriend wanted to get in shape, Watson explained. They asked me to help them with it.
So he started leading their trio in exercise routines at the Albemarle High football field. Before long, friends were joining them on a regular basis. People walking by would stop join in.
Watson rolled with it.
Talking with the principals at both AHS and Central Elementary, he secured their facilities on a regular basis for the group (AHSs football field for good weather, Centrals gym for cold or wet weather).
H4G now meets 6:30-7:30 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday and 9-10 a.m. Saturday.
Its more cardio than anything youll find in a gym, Chris Armet said at a recent workout.
With temperatures below 30 degrees that morning, the crew met at Central Elementary. The workout began with sprints and lunges and then rolled into curl-ups and planks, with only one short break in between.
And this is an easy day, Armet said.
On warmer days at AHS, the warm-ups usually involve dashing up and down bleachers and sprinting up hills, he explained.
He knows how to push, Arnett said.
However, the routines are never routine. Sometimes members are holding a plank position while their partners jump back and forth over their legs. Sometimes they are doing curl-ups with dumbells before jumping into burpees.
Its always different and its always challenging, Jennifer Stokes said at practice.
But nobody stops.
Like an athletic practice, exercises are done as a group and completed as a group. Attendees call out encouragements around the room and urge their partners on in pair exercises with keep goings and almost theres.
Watson, an ever-present coach, makes circuits of the room, occasionally modifying exercises for people who are struggling, but more often getting down on the floor to do the exercise with them as encouragement.
Thats his style, Mark Thompson said. Its not boot camp. Hes not yelling in your face. He motivates you by making you feel good about what youre doing.
For Crystal Stanbeck, that has been essential for success.
Struggling to maintain an exercise routines for years, her weight fluctuated so much she had stopped buying smaller clothes for fear of wasting her money.
It wasnt until Watson, who saw her exercising alone one afternoon, invited her to join H4G that she has kept the weight off.
When Im struggling on the track, (Watson) comes and runs with me, Stanbeck said. When he sees me at the store, he comes over to check in with me... He holds me accountable.
In the four or five months with the group, Stanbeck has lost 50 pounds. She has also bought some new clothes.
I know Im going to keep it off this time, Stanbeck said.
To put an emphasis on that kind of hunger for success, Watson takes a picture of the group at the end of each session. The picture is pasted to Facebook later that day as a little reminder of why they are there.
Stay hungry, Watson said.

Cancer survivors find fitness, support at East Bridgewater YMCA program – Enterprise News
Fitness Comments Off on Cancer survivors find fitness, support at East Bridgewater YMCA program – Enterprise News
Members of the Old Colony YMCA Livestrong Program in East Bridgewater have started a 12-week program to reclaim their health.
EAST BRIDGEWATER After months of intensive chemotherapy, John McLaughlin was a shadow of himself. The lyrics of a Pink Floyd song echoed in his head.
There's someone in my head and it's not me.
That's the way I felt for a good five months, McLaughlin said. For five months all I would do is go to chemotherapy, come home, sleep and maybe watch a half an hour TV with my wife and then go back to bed.
McLaughlin and six other cancer survivors are ready to get their lives back.
The group is embarking on a 12-week Livestrong fitness program at the East Bridgewater YMCA, designed specifically for cancer survivors.
The group will meet twice a week for an hour and 15 minutes each day, working with fitness instructors and other specialists, at no cost to the survivors, to regain what cancer has taken from them.
We help them find their new normal because cancer changes their life forever, said Helen Byrne who is a healthy living specialist at the East Bridgewater YMCA and leads the Livestrong fitness class. Their life is never the same. Theyre completely new people.
The survivors know all too well what its like to feel like strangers in their own body after cancer treatment.
Clustered around a table in the Livestrong group fitness studio at the East Bridgewater YMCA during their first session on Tuesday, March 7, the survivors shared stories of their own cancer struggles and hopes for a healthier self at the end of these 12-weeks.
The radiation: I call it my out of body experience, I wasnt even me during that time, Lois Sullivan of Halifax said Its like it wasnt me, I was looking down on that person... I was a different person.
Before the cancer, McLaughlin enjoyed working out and took pride in staying fit.
This cancer thing has knocked me on my ass, McLaughlin said. I want to get back to where I was.
To help survivors regain a level of normalcy and physical ability, Byrne and her team of fitness instructors lead them through a 12-week evidence based program that helps strengthen participants both physically, mentally and emotionally.
Its not just about fitness, its their entire emotional well-being, said fitness instructor Courtney Sullivan. Its an opportunity for them to be able to connect with one another on a different level than, say, with someone who hasnt gone through cancer.
Often times, its that personal connection that cancer survivors need most, according to David Sheedy who is a graduate of the Livestrong program and a member of the East Bridgewater Board of Selectman. Sheedy credits the Livestrong program with playing a major role in his cancer recovery in 2012.
You really connect with people going through the same things youre going through, Sheedy said. The bonds that are created at the end of those 12 weeks are so special. Its really a lifesaver for people.
Sheedy is one of many Livestrong graduates from past years that volunteer their time to come back during new sessions and help participants through what they know, first-hand, can be a difficult 12-weeks.
Its like a family, another Livestrong graduate named Dick Wallace of East Bridgewater, who is also an employee at the YMCA, told the newest batch of participants. Im here to tell you, if you ever need anything, Im here.
The Livestrong program is part of a national YMCA initiative that was first launched on a trial basis in 2011 at YMCA locations across the U.S. including East Bridgewater.
At the start of the program, participants measure their personal fitness with pre-assessment tests. Fitness instructors assist participants in simple tasks meant to measure their balance, flexibility, arm reach, leg strength, and how many walking laps theyre able to complete.
By the end of the program, participants are always impressed with how far theyve come.
They gain confidence, and you can see it, fitness instructor Jen Mangelson said. Theyre so proud of themselves by the end because they can see the progress they made despite their disease.
Watching these cancer survivors progress is nothing short of amazing, fitness instructors can agree.
Its so interesting to watch them from day one because they transform as people, said Lauren Cucinotta, one of the original Livestrong trainers in East Bridgewater, They get stronger physically and emotionally they find support within each other and the Y.
Every day, Im inspired in ways I cant even describe, Byrne said.
The Enterprise is following six East Bridgewater cancer survivors in their 12-week journey through the Livestrong program.

Fitness Comments Off on Marco Fabian looks to regain fitness with Eintracht Frankfurt – ESPN … – ESPN FC
Marco Fabian is committed to Eintracht's turnaround.
Mexico midfielder Marco Fabian has said that he wants to focus on the run-in of the Bundesliga season with Eintracht Frankfurt, explaining his absence from his national team.
The 27-year-old at the weekend played his first full 90 minutes after missing large parts of 2017 with back problems.
The playmaker returned to the Frankfurt team last week, coming off the bench in the defeat at Bayern Munich. On Saturday, he made his first start this year when Eintracht drew 0-0 with Hamburg.
The draw saw Frankfurt drop to seventh in the Bundesliga standings, and after only winning seven of a possible 24 points in the second half of the season, Eintracht could miss out on qualification for a European competition.
However, Fabian has not given up on playing in Europe next term. He told reporters that he cancelled his trip to play in Mexico's World Cup qualifiers against Costa Rica and Trinidad-Tobago so that he would continue improving his fitness and help the Bundesliga side turn their season around again.
"I asked to be omitted from the national team. It's been cleared with the national team coach [Juan Carlos Osorio]," Fabian said about his absence from the squad for the March 24 and 28 matches.
"I want to fully focus on Eintracht and do everything I can physically to be able to help the team in the best way possible during the run-in."
Fabian was one of Frankfurt's key players during the first half of the season.
Osorio told reporters on Monday that the decision to keep Fabian and Jesus Corona out of national team play over the next week was taken before their return to weekend action with their respective clubs.
"I exchanged WhatsApp messages with Jesus and it is worth mentioning that [Corona] along with Marco were fortunate to be able to return for their clubs, but we had already decided with the clubs that we were going to give them both a chance to rest so unfortunately they won't be with us," Osorio said. "We will play our game with the players we have, all of whom are doing well at the moment. We must focus on those who are here with us and not those who are missing."

Right exercises slow aging – Lima Ohio
Exercise Programs Comments Off on Right exercises slow aging – Lima Ohio
Lace up those sneakers. Exercise specifically high-intensity interval training slows down the aging process.
A new study published in the journal Cell Metabolism noted that any kind of exercise is better than none, but its the high-intensity interval training that does best in reversing age-related changes at the cellular level. Though this works for people of all ages, it seems to offer more benefits to older people.
HIIT, as it is commonly known, requires short bursts of intense aerobic activity, intermixed with longer stretch of moderate exercise. Participating in this kind of training encourages cells to make more proteins to fuel the energy producing cellular mechanism. This, in turn, arrests the aging process.
The study found that younger people participating in HIIT showed a 49 percent increase in mitochondrial capacity and the older group saw a 69 percent. (Mitochondria are the cells powerhouses, responsible for producing the molecule that transports chemical energy within cells.)
Based on everything we know, theres no substitute for these exercise programs when it comes to delaying the aging process, Dr. Sreekumaran Nair, senior author of the study and a diabetes researcher at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, told Medical News. These things we are seeing cannot be done by any medicine.
The study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, used two sets of volunteers: the younger set ranged in age from 18 to 30 and the older ranged in age between 65 and 80. Those studied were then divided into three different supervised exercise training programs that lasted three months. The mixed-age HIIT group did three days a week of cycling, with high-intensity bouts alternating with low-intensity pedaling, and two days a week of moderately difficult treadmill walking.
A strength training group did weights for lower and upper body muscles two days each week, while a third group cycled and lifted weight five days a week, but always less strenuously than the two other groups.
Not surprisingly, the researchers found that strength training was most effective for building muscle mass and for improving strength important because both qualities decline with age but the group that participated in HIIT earned the best results at the cellular level. HIIT seemed to reverse the age-related decline in both mitochondrial function and muscle-building proteins.
So how should you plan for your exercise week? If people have to pick one exercise, Nair said, I would recommend high-intensity interval training, but I think it would be more beneficial if they could do 3 to 4 days of interval training and then a couple of days of strength training.
A recently published study found that high-intensity interval training, which combines short bursts of intense aerobic activity with longer stretch of moderate exercise, is best to reverse age-related changes.
