Katie Norwood, a trainer at Wilcox Wellness & Fitness in Bangor, instructs a virtual training session via Zoom on April 8, 2020. Norwood instructed the class from the empty gym, where only she and one other trainer, who was giving a private virtual training session, were present. After demonstrating an exercise, Norwood watches her clients for proper form and gives encouragement as they go through the workout.

Maintaining your health is about more than just not contracting a deadly disease even during the pandemic. But as the stay-at-home orders have dragged on, many of us have let our daily physical activity slide, which compromises our physical health in other ways. Its time to change that.

Almost all chronic diseases are related to inactivity, said Jay Polsgrove, associate professor and coordinator of the Exercise Science Program at Husson University. When you do exercise [and] elevate things for a specified period of time for a short duration, thats when you get the health benefits.

But while that might have meant turning to the gym in the past, thats not possible right now in many cases. On May 11, some gyms and fitness centers in Maine could reopen for one-on-one personal training and outdoor fitness classes with fewer than 10 participants. But gyms in general wont reopen until June 1, during Phase Two of Maines reopening plan.

Polsgrove and James Graves, professor of exercise, health and sport sciences at University of Southern Maine, agreed that the best thing anyone can do when it comes to exercise is keep exercising regularly, even if you have fallen off of your usual fitness routine. After all, it is harder to get back on the fitness bandwagon the longer you wait between workouts.

Heres how to start incorporating exercise back into your life.

Seriously especially if you are working from home, the beginning to being healthier could be as simple as standing up and walking around the house or down the block every hour.

Try to find ways to be more active in your day, Polsgrove said. If you can build time into your day that you can get the body moving and blood circulating, that does have a big benefit.

Whether its running, rollerblading, jumping rope or doing yoga, find some sort of physical activity that makes you smile while you do it.

If you dont enjoy doing it youre not going to stick with it, Graves said.

Similarly, if the work out doesnt make you feel good because it is too intense, ease up and adjust to make sure you are still enjoying your daily workouts.

If you exercise at an intensity that is uncomfortable, youre less likely to do it again, Graves said. Make sure youre having fun, [though] its ok to push your limits a little bit.

A woman jogs down Free Street in Portland on Monday. The temperature touched 60 degrees in the city.

A variety of workouts will help you maintain good physical fitness. Graves referred to the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines for the recommended quantity and quality of physical activity in healthy adults, including 30 minutes of aerobic kinds of activity 5 days a week, some strength training to build and maintain muscles mass and exercises for flexibility.

We know that physical activity is important for everyone, Graves said. Youve got to mix it up. Do something for muscles and bones, and a little bit of flexibility and balance. Its important to participate in a well-rounded exercise program.

Polsgrove said he plays a game with his week of workouts, where he sets a rough outline of his workout goals for the week and lets the weather decide what the workout will be for the day. For example, if it is nice outside, he will jog; if it is cloudy, he will lift weights.

Think you dont have time to exercise? Graves said that inserting short bursts of exercise throughout the day is not only effective to maintain your physical health, but it can also help break up the long days in quarantine.

You dont have to do it all at once, Graves explained. We know that three bouts of exercise that last 10 minutes each is equally as beneficial as one bout of 30 minutes. You can break up your routine [with] things you enjoy doing.

If you dont know where to start, try your stairs.

Theres nothing wrong with walking some stairs, Graves said. Do that for 10 minutes, three times a day, and thats 30 minutes of aerobic physical activity. Im not going to walk up and down my stairs for an hour, but I can do that for 10 minutes.

Gabor Degre | BDN

Barbara Rowe, 89, of Brewer lifts weights over her head during the Bone Builders class exercise at the The Heritage apartments in Brewer Wednesday. Rowe has been participating in the class for 11 years and she credits the exercises to help her able to walk. The program is intended for area seniors to have a regular exercise routine.

Likewise, there are other ways to use what you have to stay fit even if you are in a small space or dont have stairs.

Just about anything that provides resistance or weight can be used in place in dumbbells or barbells, Graves said. You can fill milk [jugs] with water those weigh about 12 pounds each. There are a lot of instructional videos about that. There are [also] exercises that you can do using furniture in your house.

If your living quarters are especially cramped, try exercising outside (safely, of course Graves said to always bring a mask with you).

Science shows that rituals help with motivation. Polsgrove said that he has a ritual for setting up his in-home exercise environment, where he moves chairs out of the way, puts his mats down, sets weights up and puts on upbeat music.

It feels like youre transitioning to an exercise environment, he said. Make it a formal time of the day. If its informal, its easy to drift on to doing something else.

Setting a specific time and recording the activity you have done that day can also help set up the habit in your mind.

Sometimes people like journaling or keeping track of what they did, Polsgrove said.

Polsgrove and Graves both recognized that the lack of a social element is making working out extra challenging.

That social component is an important motivator, and thats especially challenging now because were being asked to avoid each other, Graves said. Given the requirement for social distancing its even harder now to get motivated to participate.

Finding a buddy to workout with you, even if it is virtually over video chat, will motivate you to stick to your plan to workout. Polsgrove said that he uses a similar tactic for his personal training clients.

When Im doing personal training with people I get them in a contract agreement [about] when are the days that you can exercise [and the] times of day, Polsgrove said. Create obligations that you and a friend are going to meet at a certain time.

Linda Coan O'Kresik | BDN

Katie Norwood, a trainer at Wilcox Wellness & Fitness in Bangor, counts down the time of an exercise for her clients during a virtual training session in April 2020.

When it comes to workout videos, Graves said that there are seemingly limitless possibilities online. He said that some yoga, pilates and other fitness instructors have moved classes online for a small subscription fee, but there are also a number of free resources.

Figuring out how to make exercise work for a sheltering-in-place is not only a good way to stay healthy now and for potential future lockdowns, but also to incorporate fitness back into your daily life in general.

It gives us strength and resolve for the future, trying to become more organized and have a better understanding of what exercise means to us, Polsgrove said. Creating a home routine that you can have when you arent able to go to the gym is meaningful [to have] for the future.

How the Big Ten is making mental health a growing priority – ESPN

Posted: at 9:42 am


without comments

Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren is taking the lead on mental health and making mindfulness for student-athletes a priority.

Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren speaks of mental fitness with the intent and enthusiasm of a motivational speaker. The message is powerful -- the message inherent in his decision to deliver it even more so. The first major public initiative of Warren's tenure as only the sixth Big Ten Conference commissioner is directed toward neither money nor academics, the poles that hold up the intercollegiate athletic tent.

It is the Mental Health and Wellness Cabinet, a group of 31 experts gathered from the league's 14 institutions, plus affiliate members Johns Hopkins and Notre Dame.

"This was one of my key pillars, even when I interviewed for the job," Warren said. "We just want to empower our student-athletes. This is all about the student-athletes, to tell how much we love, admire, respect, appreciate them, to give them the resources, that we're here, they can talk about it."

The conference that gave us the Ten-Year War, that produced Bob Knight and Herb Brooks, is now promoting mindfulness. And not without reason. The scourge of mental illness on American campuses has not spared student-athletes. Take the maelstrom of growing up in the social media age, blend in self-images that equate competitive failure with personal worth, and add relentless demands on time and energy.

2 Related

The issues are not unique to the Big Ten. It may not be the death knell for the win-at-all-cost ethic that has defined American sports since Red Grange was in knee pants. But the campaign to champion mental fitness is a more tangible, less cynical reminder of the difference between intercollegiate athletics and the pros. The student-athletes whom we celebrate are not yet grown men and women.

In loco parentis, a phrase meaning "in the role of a parent," once was applied universally to colleges. The actions that universities took in loco parentis had a more disciplinary cant, such as single-sex dorms or curfews. The Big Ten mental fitness campaign hearkens to those simpler times, but with a motivation more compassionate than disciplinary.

Warren recalls what it is like to be young and adrift. He saw it among his fellow student-athletes when he played basketball at Penn and Grand Canyon. Actually, he experienced it long before he went to college. An automobile struck 11-year-old Kevin Warren when he was riding his bicycle.

He spent six weeks in the hospital. He spent seven months in a body cast.

"Not one time did anyone talk to me about my mental health, how did I feel," Warren said. "My sister stayed at the hospital many nights with me... She was telling me recently that I was having these night terrors throughout the night. I was just in the hospital, would scream at a level, they were so concerned. Even then, I never met with a mental health professional."

A generation later, there hasn't been enough change. Warren's son Powers plays football at Mississippi State.

I've heard too many stories of my son's friends, of college athletes around the country who've had issues," Warren said, "who've raised their hand, who sought out help on campus, and they were told, 'We can get you in six weeks from now.' We can't have 'six weeks.' You might as well tell someone, 'Call me in a year.' That can't happen."

The ubiquity of the Calm app, waiting when needed on a phone, will solve that issue, or at least provide a bandage until the psychic wound is tended. The conference purchased the use of the app for all 9,600 of its student-athletes, as well as league coaches and administrative personnel.

That isn't the cabinet's only strategy, just the first. There are plans afoot for a newsletter. Warren is smitten by the Bandana Project on the Wisconsin campus. Students with green bandanas tied to their backpacks are trained in the knowledge of mental health resources available on campus. The green bandana signifies not only a resource, but unspoken support. Warren learned about it in a cabinet session.

"We're all doing great work," Warren said of his league's institutions. "But we were doing them in silos. Now we're able to collaborate with each other, come up with best practices."

In the intercollegiate athletic world where so much is measured by money or metric, Warren said there are no such milestones for mental fitness. No one will be monitoring how many gymnasts or swimmers or tight ends use their Calm app. "It would be worth it if one person said, 'You stopped and made me think. You stopped and made me recognize that maybe I do need to go get some help,'" Warren said.

As intercollegiate athletics gropes its way blindly through the coronavirus pandemic, the Big Ten is seeing how its student-athletes and coaches really live. The conference once known for "three yards and a cloud of dust" has modernized its approach. The Big Ten hopes to learn how to be present.

Taking a look at 6 of the best health apps – Feed Leader

Posted: at 9:42 am


without comments

Forecast to exceed 22.8 billion by the end of 2020, the UKs fitness/wellness industry is booming. Although the market is mostly made up of gym memberships, sports equipment and supplements, health apps are also starting to have a role, with many people using their mobile devices for more than just calls and texting.

With data from 2018 showing that around 29 per cent of Britons committed to losing weight, with over half giving up after a month just what are some of the apps available to help keep us motivated to health improvement?

Although this app wont work for you until after lockdown when gyms open, we thought it should still be included on the list because of how useful it is. Is the gym where you feel motivated, but you dont want to sign up to a contract? Then download Esquared. This app works in the same way as Uber in the sense that it allows you to find gym sessions and one-off classes in your area. The benefit of this app is that its non-committal and there are no subscription fees. Currently, its only available in London and Sydney, but keep an eye out in case it expands into an area near you!

Alongside vitamins like joint supplements, nearly everyone who has wanted to improve their health and fitness has heard of the couch to 5k challenge. Its ideal for those who dont particularly have the fitness levels to take on marathons but want to increase their physical ability. Presented by Public Health England, it builds you up gradually with a mix of running and walking so that within nine weeks you should be able to run 5 kilometres (3.1 miles). Theres also a choice of five virtual trainers to help you on your fitness journey and keep you motivated.

We know what youre thinking Pokmon is a game. But, this game is also useful for getting people active. The popular game works by individuals needing to be active in the community to progress in the game. According to Sport England, one in three kids in England take part in less than 30 minutes of physical activity each day. This was described by Sports Minister Mims Davies as simply unacceptable. With games like Pokmon Master, this is a great way to get kids active and taking part in an activity theyd enjoy. It was even found that the original Pokmon Go was also helping to bring families together as parents and children were competing with one another as to who could catch the rare monsters.

Similarly, the Harry Potter version can also do so. For those who arent particularly a fan of the Pokmon franchise, this take based on JK Rowlings creation could be just the thing. It works by users having to complete a certain number of steps in order to open up treasure chests for more loot. Also, as magical creatures and characters spawn on the map in-game, you need to physically travel to move your character across the map. However, unlike the Pokmon take, this game will be able to track your activity without even running the app. Therefore, youll be able to track your steps without being synced to the game, and those who like to wear a Fitbit will more than likely agree that this can become a game in itself!

GP at Hand, an NHS app, gives you the option to chat with an NHS GP 24/7 via a video appointment. Usually, youll be seen within two hours once you make your request, meaning that you no longer have to wait weeks for an appointment or attend a walk-in surgery. It allows the doctor to discuss your symptoms and, where necessary, you can show them your issues on camera. Ideal for lockdown, too!

Its important to remember that we shouldnt just be focusing on our physical health. Mental health has, rightly so, become a major topic of interest. Campaigns such as Its Okay Not to Be Okay are bringing our mental well-being into the forefront of the attention via the media. However, in the UK, approximately one in four of us will experience a mental health problem each year. Depression and anxiety are two of the most common issues. This American-based app helps anyone who feels isolated discuss their concerns and issues thanks to it connecting you instantaneously to one of its 160,000 trained volunteer listeners and licensed therapists. Its anonymous, free, and confidential. It also allows you to participate in guides chats through group support discussion rooms.

Although in lockdown it might be easy to slip into a routine of scrolling through social media, smartphones can be used for much better things! So download one of these apps and improve your health.

Cities with the highest (and lowest) uninsured rates – Lincoln Journal Star

Posted: at 9:42 am


without comments

At the state level, Texas has the highest uninsured rate in the country at 17.7 percent, about twice as high as the national rate. Other states in the South and Southeast, including Oklahoma, Florida, and Georgia, also have high rates of uninsured residents. At the other end of the spectrum, Massachusetts has the lowest uninsured rate in the country, with just 2.8 percent of its residents lacking health insurance.

To determine the cities with the highest and lowest uninsured rates, researchers at Self Financialanalyzed the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureauand the CDC. The researchers ranked cities according to the share of residents without health insurance. Researchers also looked at the uninsured rate for individuals below the poverty line, the number of uninsured people, the number of uninsured children, and the percentage of adults reporting good physical health.

To improve relevance, only cities with at least 100,000 people were included in the analysis. Additionally, cities were grouped into the following cohorts based on population size:

Don Walton: Coronavirus and the mail-in election – Lincoln Journal Star

Posted: at 9:42 am


without comments

The governor has aptly noted that highway deaths could be lowered to almost zero if speed limits were set at 5 mph, but that's not a choice that is made in living a normal life.

But it's also true that when we experience blizzards and floods and other danger, we close those highways until it's safe to proceed.

It's the governor's call and he remains in constant contact with UNMC.

My personal call will still be occasional curbside restaurant pickup, and I'm guessing that will be the majority call in Lincoln for a while.

* Following what appears to essentially be an extra-legal pardon of Michael Flynn for admitted crimes, it's obvious we need to rename the U.S. Department of Justice.

* The Ricketts administration has unveiled a series of new mother-friendly policies to assist state employees, including enhanced maternity benefits, designated rooms for nursing mothers, priority parking for expectant mothers and a pilot program to allow parents to bring children to work.

* When asked by Omaha congressional candidate Ann Ashford what advice he would give to a candidate during a conversation on Facebook, Bob Kerrey could not resist: "Learn how to answer a question other than the one that was asked."

Tauranga trainer helping women thrive with fitness – The Bay’s News First – SunLive

Posted: at 9:42 am


without comments

A Merivale mum is using an online fitness platform to connect with women and help them turn their lives around. Personal trainer Marisha Wilson, 29, launched Fitness for Females on Monday.

She says her online workout videos are attracting a hard to reach demographic of women from New Zealand and beyond.

Marisha, who is also a qualified social worker, says she integrates Maori health model Te Whare Tapa Wha into her videos to help members create balance in their life.

So far her newly launched group has about 300 members, and the public Facebook page Rish Fit Personal Training has accumulated almost 3000 followers.

Initially, Marisha posted live workout videos to her public Facebook page, but after noticing about 92 per cent of her following was female, she decided to move to a female only private Facebook group.

It came to my attention that I was starting to reach females who have been and are in vulnerable situations in life - who experience anxiety and depression.

She says a large portion of her followers are also Maori.

Maybe they are attracted to me because I am also Maori? Or maybe it could be that I am very real and genuine. I am myself always.

One Tauranga woman took to Facebook praising the work Marisha does, saying since she connected with the group her life has flipped right around.

Charity Thompson spoke of the struggles she faced after ending an 11-year addiction to methamphetamine.

The mum of four found herself gaining weight, feeling depressed and losing confidence after she came off the drug five years ago.

I gained 30kg in the first year of being clean. I went looking for a ladies group - I knew deep down I wanted support and only wanted it from females.

I found a lovely local group, which worked for a while, but it didnt give me enough as it was only a workout group.

Then I stumbled across Rish. And man, I am so grateful I did. Now, if I feel a little down, I know I have got the tools in my kete to pull me right back up.

Fitness for me is more than exercise - its my new way of life, my new drug. It gives me that good feeling, that happy feeling and from the results, I am driven to succeed more now than ever before in my life.

Marisha says its her mission to help her female audience sustain their health and fitness journeys for life.

The main foundation of the group is to create a way for females to connect, and unite together through using exercise as a tool.

Its for women from all walks of life, she says.

We are about supporting female independence, female freedom, and encouraging each other to keep chasing health and fitness goals, whatever they may be.

Chris Hemsworth has been one of the most visible celebrities in the fitness space over the last few years.

Most notably, Hemsworth released a comprehensive health and wellness app, Centr, to give his fans access to the same top-level instruction he has from his team of trainers and health coaches.

For Men's Health Fitness Director Ebenezer Samuel, C.S.C.S, creating the perfect eating schedule wasnt always easy.

Ive been strength training since I was in high school, but for a long time, I wasnt in control of my diet and didnt know what I was doing, he says. Once I learned that about five or six years ago, then I was able to make really good gains in terms of strength and the size I wanted.

Samuel keeps to a rigid eating schedule, making sure to fuel every 2 hours from the moment he wakes up. He also tracks how much he eats throughout the day. His preferred daily amounts are around 180 grams of protein, 120 to 180 grams of carbohydrates and 60 to 90 grams of fats.

"As long as Im awake, Im gonna eat. I want to be sure that I have some form of nutrition floating through my system so my muscles can constantly get a re-supply of nutrients." he says.

Samuel's day usually begins at 7:30 a.m., when he reaches for a shake. He likes to mix 1 scoops of whey protein, 1 tablespoon of almond butter, a greens supplement to get some antioxidants, and water to get his first food source of the day.

There is one catch: Its not necessarily the best tasting drink, Samuel says. But it also doesnt taste as bad as you may think. By 10:00 a.m., Samuel is ready for another shake to carry him through morning meetings.

When noon comes around, Samuel switches to natural sources of protein. A typical lunch for him includes six ounces of salmon, three ounces of brown rice, and two to three ounces of broccoli. That way, he gets a good green vegetable, a slow-burning carb to keep him going through the rest of the day, and a great go-to protein source. He repeats this meal at about 2:30 p.m. I dont need a lot of choices in my diet, he says, as long as its giving me the fuel I need.

At 5:00 p.m., it's workout mode. Before training Samuel tries to get in another meal. Because hes looking to bring a variety of natural protein sources into his food routine, he likes to have five to six ounces of a protein (either chicken, beef or pork), four ounces of potatoes, and a side of peppers and onions.

If he feels like he needs to add some fat into his dinner, then hell eat a spoonful of almond butter straight out of the jar. Hell repeat this again around 7:30 p.m. and by 10:00 p.m., he has his last fueling by eating some salmon and broccoli.

As for hydration, Samuel has a target of finishing a gallon of water a day. Although it might seem daunting (especially at work), he makes it easier by carrying around a large bottle of water everywhere, especially at meetings where he doesnt always need to speak.

I dont have to talk for every minute of every single meeting, he says. Meetings are a great chance to sit back when somebody else is talking and guzzle as much water as I possibly can.

Even though Samuels diet looks regimented, he does like to have a cheat day on Saturdays. He does have some caveats though: He respects his water intake, eating intervals ,and protein intake. But dont think he only likes to eat salmon and broccolihe does love some peanut butter cups and a slice or two of cheesecake.

So whats Samuels advice for someone looking to create their own eating structure? Find something that will work with you for the long haul and will give you the nutrients necessary for health and for building muscle. Find a way that works for you. Dont fall into the trap of going onto a restricted system. Build a system that you can maintain.
