Seeking fitness despite broken elastic and junk in the trunk – Fergus Falls Daily Journal

Experts say that fitness isnt about diet or exercise. It is about health. Our goal should not be a number on the scale or a certain size of jeans. We should seek a body and lifestyle that are healthy.

What experts dont say out loud is that diet and exercise are synonyms for healthy. You cant reach healthy without the D and E words. Life isnt fair, and the bathroom scale doesnt lie. I found this out the other day when I pulled my scale my dusty scale out from under the bathroom sink, climbed aboard and discovered that either the scale was broken or I no longer fit into my jeans. The correct answer was B.

So, it was with great remorse that I crawled kicking and screaming back onto the fitness bandwagon. I gleefully fell off it about a year ago. For the last 12 months Ive let things slide. Its been a great ride, but now its time for me to get back to business the business of health. And that, my friends, includes those two favorite four-letter words: diet and exercise.

In order to exercise, one must have the proper gear. I have gear; I just had a hard time remembering where I put it, since it hadnt been used in over a year. I reached into the far corners of my closet and there right next to a forgotten black leather miniskirt, a pair of zebra-print Zubaz and a fanny pack were my sweatpants. Like my scale, they were a little dusty, and perhaps smelled a bit of mildew from sitting on the shelf for so many months. When I went to put them on, the elastic waist gave a weak crumbling sound as the fibers disintegrated beneath my fingers; it was a waistband that wouldnt snap back into place ever again.

Lucky thing, too, because the pants had shrunk since the last time I wore them. They were much tighter along my backside, and I didnt really need any elastic to hold them in place anyway.

When I exercise, I try not to employ any real calisthenics or moves that actual athletes might attempt. My goal is to get the benefits of exercise without moving too quickly or breaking a sweat. My movement of choice involves walking nothing more. This can be a taxing activity, aerobic, even. Especially if your walk includes inclines or hills. Mine does, so it is very vigorous for a woman with broken elastic in her sweatpants.

The one good thing about exercise is that you only have to think about it once a day. The D word diet is on your mind constantly. That is because eating is one of the most basic and simple pleasures of life. I dont think I could live without eating.

When it comes to food, there are healthy choices and there is junk; hence the term junk food. You know when youve chosen junk because your mouth will be filled with something that tastes good. It may even be a little greasy, creamy or cheesy. In the world of healthy diets, words like greasy, creamy and cheesy all mean one thing: junk.

Fried, frittered, frosted, battered, buttered or breaded are all to be avoided (junk). Anything that crunches and is not a fruit or vegetable is junk. Cheese is not your friend.

Meat should be white, but without any sauce that is white. Most fish is okay as long as it is broiled, boiled, broasted or baked.

Eat as much celery as you want. Chewing it burns more calories than it contains. You must not dip it in peanut butter or ranch sauce, though. Turns it into junk.

The whole diet thing certainly provides its challenges. Junk is rampant in my pantry, and you know what they say about too much junk in the trunk. At this point, I have my fair share.

Health can be pretty daunting. Lots of things (like cheesecake and walking uphill) can get in the way of fitness. But I am determined. I crunch another stalk of naked celery and think about tomorrow. I will not let the inclines get the best of me. Thoughts of chocolate will be banished. I can do this. I will. My sweatpants may be broken, but I am not.

Amber Johnston Reveals The Secret To Her Fitness Journey – The List

Johnston's 25-pound weight loss caught many of her fans' eyes. To that end, Johnston let everyone know exactly how she managed it in such a short amount of time by tagging her post"#optaviaworks."She was also quick to point out it definitely wasn't a sponsored post.

Additionally, according to US News &World Reports,Optavia ranked 27th out of 35 diets, as per their panel of experts. However, it came in second for weight loss overall.The magazine further noted that the diet is nutritionally sound and doesn't involve counting carbs, points, or calories, which is what worked for Johnston.

The Optavia diet is strict in general, though, which might prove difficult for certain people to adhere to, as the food is bars and powdered "just-add-water" products.Clearly, Johnston was determined to make a change, and theOptavia Dietsuited her lifestyle. They make their own range of products, similar to WW, which are also reasonably priced, comparatively speaking. Regular exercise is also required, with the main aim of the diet being to make users more confident and comfortable while making healthier choices overall.

HEALTH AND FITNESS: Make wearable fitness tech work for you – Charleston Post Courier

Wearable fitness technology is an important tool that many people use to monitor their activity, track their progress and stay motivated. From activity trackers and heart rate monitors to devices that do both and more, the newest wearables are sophisticated tools for recording your steps per day, distance you run and calories you burn. But using these devices to help you get fit, lose weight or otherwise improve your health requires that you use that information wisely.

This is especially true when it comes to losing weight. Thanks to a host of wearable devices and mobile apps, counting calories has never been easier. This matters because losing weight almost always means reducing the calories that you eat and increasing the calories that you burn. This concept of eat less, move more is the foundation of nearly every effective weight loss program and explains why some diets and exercise programs seem to work better than others, at least for some people.

Modern wearable devices and mobile apps allow you to track your weight, what you eat and your activity fairly accurately. Many apps can measure the intensity of exercise by using the GPS and accelerometer features of your phone itself and some include heart rate to make the estimates even more precise. Using this technology, you can count steps, measure how many miles you walk or run and estimate how many calories you burn.

Other apps can help you track what you eat. Whether you are counting calories or concerned about your protein intake, dietary analysis apps can show you what you are really eating. Most require you to enter the foods you eat and the app calculates calories, nutrients, sugar, salt and water intake based on standard databases. In order to get accurate results, it is important to estimate portion sizes accurately, something that is challenging even for experts. That said, these apps can be useful for tracking what you eat to help you learn about your eating patterns to develop healthier habits or meet specific goals, such as eliminating added sugar from your diet.

Activity trackers and exercise apps are especially popular for improving fitness and promoting weight loss. Both the physical activity that you do throughout the day and dedicated exercise are important for good health, physical fitness and weight control. This technology can help you know what to do, when to do it and how much you did at the end of the day.

While these tools can be helpful, it is important to emphasize the importance of developing healthy habits in order to improve fitness, lose weight or keep it off. A focus on micromanaging steps or calories may cause you to lose sight of the big picture changes you want to make. For example, you should strive to be as active as you can throughout the day, even if you have already met your step or calorie goal.

Keep in mind that there are very few people who fail to meet their fitness or weight loss goal because they didnt have the latest activity tracker or fitness app. Real success comes from making lifestyle changes to incorporate healthy eating and activity habits that you can maintain without constant reminders. While technology can help you make those changes, it does not replace the dedication needed to develop lasting eating and activity habits to promote good health. Finally, make sure to pick the device that meets your needs and your budget, as they can get expensive!

The Best Fitness Trackers to Help You Get Healthy in 2021 – NBC4 Washington

It's been called "The COVID-19," not referring to the virus but weight gain during the pandemic. If that's happened to you, youre not alone. A recent nationally representative Consumer Reports survey found that nearly a third of Americans have packed on some pounds over the past several months.

If it's time for you to get into shape, Consumer Reports recommends the best smartwatches and fitness trackers that can help.

The Apple Watch has long dominated CRs ratings, in part because its easy to pair with the iPhone and has a very accurate heart-rate monitor.

The new Apple Watch Series 6 Steel Case (GPS & Cellular) is no different, but its on the pricey side at $750. For a less expensive option, consider the Apple Watch SE (GPS) for $280, which is near the top of CRs ratings.

Are you an Android person? The Samsung Galaxy Watch3 (GPS) for $400 is a great option, but its also expensive.

If you don't need all those smart features, then a fitness tracker might be a good option to keep track of your step count and heart rate. CRs top-rated fitness tracker is the Garmin Forerunner 235 for $170.

Another option high in the ratings is the Fitbit Charge 3 for $100, which CRs tests found was easy to use with both iPhone and Android.

No matter which brand or type of wearable tech you choose, Consumer Reports has some important advice. A smartwatch or fitness tracker is a lot like a gym membership: Its only helpful if you actually use it.

Just in time for the new year, Apple has launched its new fitness streaming subscription, Apple Fitness Plus. The service is designed for people with an Apple Watch and offers guided workouts on demand that can be streamed across Apple devices.

And now, the 24-year-old diva is spilling some of her best-kept beauty secrets, including her quarantine skincare routine as well as diet.

Speaking to Harpers Bazaar, the model explained how she has clung on to her healthy eating habits.

"I tried a plant-based diet for two months during quarantine. I felt great and I had a lot of energy, but it was not for me. I don't eat a strictly plant-based diet and I do still eat meat. I just don't eat a lot of it. I've picked up more fish, greens, and lentils, she said.

"My skin feels the best when I've been in the ocean. Salt water is the best skin healer for me, and I've found that nature can be the most soothing for my sensitive skin, she went on to say.

About her struggles of staying consistent with her healthy life choices during quarantine, she said: "It was very jarring to go from a busy lifestyle where I'm constantly moving to complete standstill, so I gave myself a quarantine workout routine."

"I used to be a dancer, so I love Pilates because it really elongates and strengthens my muscles. That's probably my favorite workout. I also recently started to box for some cardio. I found that remembering the combinations and learning how move your body in boxing has been good for mental health, she said.
