New Yorkers haven't been able to go to the gym infive months, and while it's been a huge shift in lifestyle for many, it's also a threat to smallfitness businesses. That's whygyms and studios have had to get creative lately and take their equipment outdoors.

Last week, Governor Andrew Cuomo double-downed on keeping gyms closed for the foreseeable future.

"We know gyms are highly problematic, not from our experience because we havent opened them, but we know from the other states,"he said in a presser on Wednesday. "[They have] opened them and they've had to close themI don't think that it's the time to open. Were precariously perched. And again, I applaud New Yorkers because they're the ones who have found this perch in the sea of spread, but it's only a function of our intelligence and our discipline."

New York City, as it does, has risen to thechallenge, takingits "highly problematic" gyms to the great outdoors, where officials have deemed it safe enough to gather in small groups with social distancing and masks.

Now, these New Yorkers'ingenuity has captured some attention, including BYKlyn Cycle's pop-up outdoor studio near the Barclays Center, and BK Fit Studio's outdoor gym.

BYKlyn Cycle's outdoorstudio at 421 Dean Street, which opens officially on August 12, has sun sails to provide shade, recycled astro turf complete with old soccer lines, 18 bikes spread six feet apart as well as a "battery of safety protocols," and aSoundOff music system, much like a silent disco, to provide music.

"This is the scrappiness of small businessthats who we are at BYKlyn Cycle and who Brooklyn is," says owner Amy Glosser. "Small businesses don't have the big resources to open gloriously. We have to do things on a shoestring, and we were able to do that."

When the studio closed its doors in March, it had 250 members, but just 70 of them committed to their memberships through the summer, which was enough tohelp Glosser and her team rent the empty lot for the pop-up, she said.

"The community came out for us, now were giving back to our community," she added. "Not only will we have hopefully 40 classes a week but we're planning to have community events in the yard, with Covid safety at all times. We're working with artists to do an open-painting event, poetry readings, and tango and salsa classes. We hope to use this space to create a safe place to gather and have experiences, because that is what New York iswe all live in this city because we like to be with one another."

BK Fit likewise had to pull together after losing 80 members over the summer, despite renting out its equipment and taking classes to the park. When Phase 3 hit NYC in July, the gym took training to the street and found an outdoor spot in East Williamsburg where it couldwork with its members at a safe distance.

"[When the shutdown first happened], we were like, OK, this wont be long-lived," co-owner Adam Sturm said. "There's massive contraction in the industry, where trainers are looking at it and it's not viable in the longterm. Wedecided we really needed to lead with our heart but make safe business decisions. We re-doubled our efforts. We're fortunate, but we want to make sure we're compliant [with safety protocols]."

BK Fit's outdoor curbside classes are currently available at its three locations, and its outdoor facility at East Williamsburg will be joined by a second one soon, Sturm says.

Yoga Agora's ownerNick Velkov has taken his classes outside at Astoria Park, and on one of the Open Streets in Astoria, since the outdoors have been deemed safe.

"We made a decision in early July to hold yoga classes outdoors because at that point we felt there was enough evidence to suggest that the risk of virus transmission was relatively low when outside and observing mitigation efforts," he told us. "Being outdoors gives everyone more room to spread out and still provides an experience of human connection."

Salsa In Queens, while not a gym,has also aimed to provide a much-missedphysical experience by taking its classes to the street. On Saturdays, it teams up withgastropub Katch Astoria for a sort of block party on Newtown Avenue.

"Salsa In Queens has built a strong community, and the opportunity to get our students together once again was a nobrainer," it said in a statement to Time Out New York. "The challenge was starting again bothsafely and smart, and for that we built a three-phase plan."

Each phase will expandupon the number of classes as well as class size, granted the pandemic is still under control and students feel comfortable enough to join us, they said.

"To help build trust and comfort with our students, we have strict guidelines for classes that include mandatory masks, sanitizing before class, keeping 6 feet apart via marked floor spots, no cash transactions and more."

Tamara Jackson, a longtime fitness trainer at the New York Sports Club in Harlem was without a job when the shutdown occurred and switched over to Zoom classes. She went from 26 classesevery week to three live, in-person boot camp-style classes and seven online. Now, after getting 15 bikes, she's able to do multiple classes a day at thecorner of 131st Street andFifthAvenue.

So far, the pivot to full outdoor studios (not just holding classes outside) is working, owners say.

"Training outdoors is the only way I would train a live workout,"Jackson said. "We know that Covid doesn't transmit as easily outdoors and people, especially people who are more susceptible to the coronavirus, need to exercise."

Glosser at BYKlyn said that if she didn't have the outdoor studio, she would be "wallowing in what my future is."

"We have heard and continue to hear that New York isnt coming back and everybodys moved away," she said. "I lived through 9/11 and Hurricane Sandy and I believe that New York is going to come back and theres nothing I'd rather invest in than a brand and our community herethat is very much what New York is: it is gritty, we show up, and we support local business. It might take a year or two, but I believe in my heart to never bet against New York."

Perhaps at any time or context, health and fitness are crucial factors.

"Who would have thought that the simple kid from the suburbs of Westerville Ohio is now slowly becoming a key personality in the fitness industry?" he asked.Over the years, Stanley has applied his knowledge in psychology to relate to his clients.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -- Keeping kids happy and healthy has been harder this summer than previous summers due to COVID-19. That's why the Santa Barbara Public Health conference last Friday featured guest speaker Suzanne Grimmesey from the county behavior wellness.

During the presentation Grimmesey said kids need school and sports to be mentally stimulated. Moderate exercise of at least twenty minutes promotes better sleep and helps them better focus immediately afterwords on school work. It also helps them stay engaged and avoid irritability.

Also during the presentation Grimmesey gave parents pointers on how to prepare for virtual school from home. She suggests keeping a similar schedule to school to continue the same learning routine. And also continue the same school traditions like back to school shopping, first day of school pictures and showing excitement for a new school year.

One local club that's been able to get kids playing sports is the Santa Barbara Soccer Club. And they've done so over at Girsh Park with the aid of health officials.

Justin Wilkins is the executive director for Santa Barbara Soccer Club. He said, "Nothing replaces getting out and being active physically, having, you know, contact with your coaches, having contact with your teammates even if it's ten, twelve feet apart, it's better than sitting home, sitting home alone."

Players said they've seen an improvement in their health mentally and physically, running around with their friends and teammates at a distance.

Evyn Miller and Zeina Matni are heading into seventh grade and players in SBSC. They're enjoying being back out on the pitch with their teammates.

"It does make me happy just being with them and finally getting back out there after being quarantined for a little while," said Miller.

"Besides just seeing them all again it's good to get back on the field and like start playing again," added Matni.

Grimmesey said parents should lead by example when it comes to exercising. Make it part of the weekly schedule. And walks around the neighborhood can be a good substitute if group sports aren't available.

Sadly too many business owners today fail to see the connection and more importantly the benefit between physical and mental fitness. However, accepting that a healthy body will lead to a healthy mind is as important to business success as is paying attention to the numbers and hiring the right employees.

Staying fit is not an easy task for todays business owner given their busy schedule, poor eating habits, high stress, sedentary life style and lack of exercise.

Understanding these things is not the issue but doing something about them is. Smart business owners understand that business success is greatly enhanced by being physically fit and mentally alert. Many also understand that the two work very well together. However, the smart ones follow a regimen for their physical/mental health just as they follow a plan for their business.

What follows are four habits that business owners can use to stay physically fit thus enhancing their mental alertness:

Develop and follow an exercise program

All business owners understand the time crunch that comes with leading and growing a business. Setting aside time for regularly scheduled workouts can be difficult, and blocking out two hours at a fitness center is next to impossible. So the answer can be interval training workouts where you have a short but high intensity exercise regimen like running, walking, biking, weights, swimming or any combination of these for 40 to 60 minutes 3 to 4 times per week.

Remember that the best exercise you can do is what you will do.

Get the proper amount of sleep

In order to make the best business decisions, it is important for business owners to be well rested. Getting a good nights sleep is vital to your emotional state and to your thinking process thus enhancing your creativity, confidence, leadership and decision making.

Have a healthy diet

Here, it is important to remember that you cannot exercise off a bad diet. Eating right is not about dieting, but instead, it about staying away from the wrong foods. The right foods include proteins, vegetables, fruits, nuts, grains, eggs, natural fats and healthy oils. There are a lot of recommended diets from which to choose for a healthy lifestyle.

It is equally important to stay hydrated with water. Getting your nutrition intake right is very important to your overall health and physical appearance. The old saying is true "we are what we eat."

Recharge your brain through meditation

The rest your brain will experience during meditation, or creative daydreaming, can give you a spike in your energy level. This actually can lead to a decrease in your anxiety, fear and stress levels. This can be particularly helpful during those times when you have to make a critically important business decision.

Everyone will agree that the healthier we are the better we feel about ourselves, our job and our company and the better we feel the more effective we can be.

It isnt enough for business owners to want to be healthy just to achieve business success. Business owners should want to be physically and mentally healthy so they can better enjoy the fruits of their labor and life in general.

Are you tired of trying diet after diet and never seeing results? That's probably because your eating plan isn't leaving you satisfied long term, and likely because you aren't getting enough fiber on a daily basis. Fiber actually plays a significant role in weight management for people long term, and yet, people still aren't getting enough of it.

According to the USDA, adults are recommended to get at least 25 (for women) to 38 (for men) grams of fiber a day. Yet while this sounds small, it's not nearly as small compared to what the average American typically gets now, which is only 10 to 15 grams a day.

Ten grams may not seem like much, but when looking at how decreasing proper fiber intake will affect the body over time, the results are pretty severe. Not just in terms of gaining weight and obesity, but it's even linked to a myriad of autoimmune diseases.

In order to better understand fiber, we did the research and spoke with two professionals on what fiber does to the body, including the major repercussions that take place when a person doesn't get enough of it.

Fiber is actually indigestibleit goes right through your system. Fiber is part of the carbohydrate found in plant cell walls, which is why common items that come from plants have it like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, legumes, avocados, leafy greens, and more.

"There are two types, soluble and insoluble," says Amy Goodson, MS, RD, CSSD, LD. "Soluble fiber is the type that can help your heart health by helping lower total and bad cholesterol. Insoluble fiber aids in gastrointestinal health, acting like a 'broom' to help push stuff through."

Because of the way it moves through your body, it actually revs up your metabolism and helps you to feel full for longer periods of time.

"When you digest food, your body expends calories," says Tanya Zuckerbrot MS, RD, and founder of the F Factor Diet. "Fiber is indigestible, fiber has no calories, but your body attempts to break it down, So in that attempt, your body tries to break it down, and we call this thermogenesis. Thermogenesis is anything that increases your body's internal temperature which ultimately impacts your metabolism. So the more fiber you eat, the faster your metabolism gets."

Not only that, but fiber can actually attach itself to toxins in the bodyas well as the calories and fat cells that you take inand flush them out.

"Fiber acts like a sponge in your stomach, and in your intestines," says Zuckerbrot. "It combines with cholesterol and estrogen and toxins and ushers them out of the body. In addition to all of those things, fiber can actually combine with fat and calories. When you eat fiber with foods with calories and fat, the fiber binds up with a percent of those calories and fat and ushers them out of the body. So rather than 100% of those calories and fat entering into your bloodstream where they can ultimately land at your thighs and your hips and your belly, a percent of those calories can combine with the fiberwhich can not be digested because it gets evacuatedand those calories and grams of fat end up in the toilet bowl."

Because of this process, studies show that getting a sufficient amount of dietary fiber can significantly reduce the risk of weight gain. Because the body feels full from the fiber, people are less likely to overeat in the long run, creating a caloric deficit over time.

"For weight loss, fiber is helpful because it helps you get full faster and stay full longer," says Goodson. "This can help people take in fewer calories at meals and ideally stay satisfied for a longer period of time before they go looking for something else to eat."

Here'sWhat Happens When You Don't Eat Enough Fiber.

Not only does fiber help with weight management, but it plays a significant role in reducing inflammation in the body and the risk of autoimmune diseases.

According to Zuckerbrot, it all starts with your microbiome. Without fiber, the gut wall lining in the microbiome starts to thin. The bacteria that gets close to your gut wall will enter your bloodstream, which produces cytokine. Cytokine causes inflammation and according to studies, it is linked to all kinds of autoimmune diseases including psoriasis, alopecia, Crohn's, colitis, Parkinson's, MS, obesity, certain forms of cancer, and more.

"The roll that fiber plays in gut health is fascinating," says Zuckerbrot. "You can repopulate your microbiome with a high fiber diet, that's why you hear so much about prebiotics and probiotics."

Your microbiome has microflora, which is a collective bacteria that helps you to digest food.

"Think of the microflora as little PAC-MEN," says Zuckerbrot. "When the fiber passes, they chomp on it, and then they can repopulate. And then that repopulation, that's when the gut wall thickens, and that's what you want."

Zuckerbrot quickly mentions the Hazda tribe, an African tribe that has been heavily researched in the past because of their diet, which consists of 100 to 150 grams of fiber a day. In one study on their feces, researchers found a healthy variety of microbes compared to those who eat a typical Western diet.

Here's The Best Way to Eat for Your Microbiome and Improve Gut Health.

Make simple swaps. Eating a high-fiber diet doesn't require you to diet it all, it just means you can make a few simple swaps in order to get your daily recommended intake. "I would say swapping a cup of watermelon to a cup of raspberries. You know a cup of watermelon is 1 gram and a cup of raspberries is 8. Switch from lettuce to kale, that takes you from 1 gram to 3 grams. Switch from [one slice of] white bread to whole wheat bread, so that takes you from 1 gram to 5 grams. Switch from Special K or cornflakes to All-Bran, that's 13 grams," says Zuckerbrot. Check out our list of high-fiber foods for some assistance.

Strive for 5 grams of fiber per meal, or more. Goodson says that if you try to incorporate at least 4 to 5 grams off fiber in all of your meals and snacks, you'll get close to what you need. "Focus on eating 100% whole grains, vegetables, fruits where you can eat the skin, beans, lentils, nuts, and seeds can help ensure you are getting enough! Incorporating a variety of those foods into all your meals and snacks can add variety and fiber," says Goodson.

Ease it in slowly. You'll likely experience some gas at first, but as Zuckerbrot says "this too shall pass." She points out that her stomach is flat and not gassy even after eating 60 to 80 grams of fiber a day, and says that it will pass. "I would say introduce fiber slowly, 10 grams. Then work your way up to 20 grams and then 30," she says.

Water is essential. "It is so important when adding fiber to your diet is to up your fluid intake. To eat a lot of fiber without proper hydration, the fiber can harden," says Zuckerbot. "So you want to make sure you are drinking plenty of water. I recommend for every 10 grams of fiber [to drink] 1 liter of water. So if you're getting 30 grams of fiber, it should be 3 literswhich equals about 12 cups of water a day."

A healthy diet should include plenty of protein, good fats and carbs in order to help you feel energised throughout the day.

Eating plenty of fibre via vegetables and fruit will also help you to feel fuller for longer, as will protein.

But while its important to make the right choices for what goes onto your plate, there could be another element thats missing from your diet.

Your body is made up of two-thirds water, and hydration plays a key role in helping your body function at its best, explained Dr. Naomi Newman-Beinart, nutritionist and specialist in health psychology.

READ MORE:Colson Smith weight loss: Corrie star's 10 stone weight loss wows fans

It can sometimes be tricky to know the difference between feelings of hunger and thirst, Dr Naomi warned.

If you are often hungry and find that you are overeating, you may not be aware that you are actually dehydrated.

It sounds simple, but studies have shown that staying hydrated can make a difference to the number of calories you eat each day.

Researchers in America found that women who drank a glass of water before meals consumed between 75-90 calories fewer from their meal, and were more likely to lose weight than those who did not drink water before meals, Dr Naomi said.

Overeating is one of the primary causes of obesity, with research showing that Britons eat as much as 1,000 more calories a day than the recommended daily intake.

Its suggested that women should consume 2,000 calories a day, while men can have slightly more at 2,500.

But to lose weight, you need to create a calorie deficit - by burning off more calories than you eat.

Drinking water is therefore essential - not only as it can affect appetite, but because its calorie-free - meaning you wont be adding extra calories without realising by staying hydrated.

Dr Naomi recommended setting a reminder on your phone if youre not a big drinker - in the healthy sense - so that you sip enough throughout the day.

But if water doesnt spark your fancy, you can stay hydrated and reap the weight loss benefits in other ways.

Vegetables and fruits such as cucumber, watermelon and carrots are delicious when made into a fresh juice, and also really good to boost your vitamin and mineral intake, advised Dr Naomi.

Fruits and vegetables also contain water, so consuming them fresh or whole will up your hydration.

Alternatively, you can add slices of lemon, orange or lime to a glass of water to give it a twist.

A diet that allows you to indulge in red wine and dark chocolate would grab your attention immediately, right? Well, thats precisely what the sirtfood diet does, and still promises to help you burn fat and lose weight. This is also the diet that Grammy-winning singer Adele reportedly used to lose weight recently, and it has become globally popular ever since. Heres everything you need to know about this trendy new diet.

What are sirtfoods?

As a study published in Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity in 2013 explains, sirtfoods are basically sirtuin-activating foods. Sirtuins are proteins that regulate metabolic function, inflammation and lifespan, and certain foods have the capacity to increase their levels in the body.

Although some research about sirtfoods can be found before 2016, it was in this year that the sirtfood diet was popularised by two British health consultants, Aidan Goggins and Glen Matten. What the sirtfood diet essentially does is combine the consumption of sirtfoods with calorie restriction, beginning with a three-week period.

How the diet works

Some of the most easily available and popular sirtfoods are kale, red wine, strawberries, onion, soy, parsley, extra virgin olive oil, dark chocolate, matcha green tea, buckwheat, turmeric, walnuts, mejdool dates, capers and coffee. According to Goggins and Mattens plan, the diet itself is divided into two phases.

Phase 1: Restrict your diet to 1,000 calories from one meal of sirtfoods and three green juices for the first three days. During the rest of week one, consume two green juices and two sirtfood meals per day.

Phase 2: During the next two weeks, one green juice and three sirtfood meals make up the daily meal plan.

If youre wondering what a green juice is, its a blend of kale, arugula, green apple, celery, matcha green tea, parsley, ginger and lemon.

The idea after this jumpstart period is to continue with a diet made of sirtfoods for as long as possible. The creators of this diet insist that following it precisely activates the skinny gene and leads to quick weight loss while also maintaining muscle mass and protecting you from chronic diseases.

Is this diet effective?

Despite these claims, the fact is that very little research is available on sirtfoods currently to back the claims. The afore-mentioned study, for example, lists all the benefits of including sirtfoods in your diet - including the fact that these foods are packed with bioactive compounds, polyphenols and phytochemicals. It also explains how calorie restriction combined with sirtfood consumption can help prevent obesity, chronic diseases and early-onset ageing.

However, there is no data yet to prove that the sirtfood diet is any better than other calorie-restrictive diets, or even a lifespan-increasing diet like the Blue Zones diet.

Debra Messing felt pressure to lose weight during her time on 'Will & Grace'.

The 51-year-old actress starred in the long-running series as the titular Grace Adler, and has said she struggled with her weight after landing the role in 1998, because at a size 8, she was too big to fit into the costumes provided by the wardrobe department.

She said: "When I started 'Will & Grace' I was a size 8, and what happened was, every time I would go in for a fitting, I couldn't fit into clothes. Eighty percent of it I couldn't fit into, and I would just leave hating my body and hating myself. I loved my costume designer, she would always say, 'Don't worry,' and she would talk to her assistant and say, 'OK, can you call over and get a larger size?' And that was sort of the thing that was always on repeat all the time."

Debra began to think her "life would be so much easier" if she lost weight.

She added: "So of course, I thought, 'My life would be so much easier, and it would be easier on everybody trying to do their job, if I just lost weight. So I started doing yoga every single day and I did one of those meal delivery services. I started to get smaller and then I was a 6, and they were like, 'You're losing weight, you look amazing!' "

The actress was happy at a size 6, but after attending award shows and meeting other actresses, she recalled feeling "fat" and "ugly", which prompted her to lose even more weight until she was a size 2.

She told Jameela Jamil for her 'I Weigh' podcast: "I was way too skinny. But, you know, going in for those fittings, I fit into everything. And all of a sudden, I literally could fit into anything that was high fashion. So all of a sudden, everything seemed to open up for me, because I was a 2.

"For awhile there, I was maintaining that, and then I got sick. My body just could not hold out. My adrenals crashed, I was exhausted and it just became clear to me that I couldn't be healthy and a size 2 at the same time."
