In the clubs drive to reduce single use plastic, plastic coffee cups, snack containers and wet swimming kit bags have been eliminated.

Lewis Banks, catering manager at the club, said: "So I took it upon myself as I am aware of the impact that it has.

"The worlds waste has to go somewhere and it gets swept up on someone else's doorstep so it isn't fair. "The action we have taken will affect our future and it is up to us to make sure it is the best that it can be."

The health and fitness club has also curbed its reduction in plastic with plastic free coffee cups, plastic straws and has installed spin dryers to dry swimming costumes instead of plastic wet kit bags.

These days, we all feel strapped for time. And not having enough hours in the day seems like a good enough excuse for skipping a training run or two, right? Well, what if it turned out that you probably have more time to prioritize exercise than you think? According to new research published in Preventing Chronic Disease, Americans do.

Researchers asked over 32,000 Americans to disclose how they spent a 24-hour period to determine free time, which was defined as any discretionary time a person had during their day not taken up by responsibilities such as caring for family members or self-care.

On average, people reported having more than 300 minutes (over five hours) of free time per day. Of that free time, most of it was spent as screen time. Men spent an average of 211 minutes (over three and a half hours) of their free time looking at screens, while women spent 175 minutes (almost three hours).

The rest of it, unfortunately, was not spent exercising. The researchers found that men reported they spent an average of just 24 minutes and women only spent 14 minutes sweating per day. However, these estimates are not precise and may not reflect pure moderate to vigorous physical activity, study author Deborah Cohen, M.D., M.P.H. at RAND Corporation in Santa Monica, California, told Runners World.

The results highlight the large amount of time Americans spend with electronic media, which is replacing time they could spend engaging in other pursuits like physical activity that produce better health outcomes, Cohen said.

The American Heart Association recommends that adults get 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity per week and spend less time sitting to combat a slew of health problems including obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Recent research also found that everything from walking your dog to taking a few laps up and down your hallway (maybe on a commercial break) can all contribute to your daily requirement.

If youre thinking these free time estimates are crazy, and you dont possibly fall into the five-hour free time category, this research also showed that no group reported having less than four and a half hours (270 minutes) of free time per day. This research shows that a lack of free time is not to blame for low levels of exercise among Americans.

Its tough to compete with electronic media, but we need to start, or Americans health will likely decline, said Cohen. The media should acknowledge its role in promoting sedentary behavior and take some steps to mitigate the associated harms.

If youve really been feeling attached to screens lately, try moving your Netflix binge of The Office to the treadmill, or performing a bodyweight workout in your living room during your favorite Disney+ show. Most phones and apps (looking at you, Instagram) also have screen time limits you can set and reports you can look at in order to better manage your own time in front of the screens.

In New York City, its possible for many worldshowever seemingly disconnectedto collide at once. If the metropolis acts as a testing ground for two things, theyre surely fashion and fitness, considering it houses a massive populated deeply invested in both. And thats what makes the launch of AARMY, a new boutique fitness studio from Akin Akman, Angela Davis and Trey Laird, seem so natural and so timely.

From left, AARMY co-founders Angela Davis, Trey Laird and Akin Akman.Aarmy

After experimenting with a trial pop-up in September of last year, the trio officially launched its new concept today with a temporary facility in New Yorks Soho neighborhood. A permanent space is expected in spring 2020. AARMY, a name reflecting Akin, Angela and the army of followers theyll undoubtedly bring to the new space, aims to create a new category of training steeped in community and team-building. The intended effect is to establish an inclusive environment to promote a higher standard in our physical, spiritual and emotional state, the new company said in a press release.

The AARMY training experience revolves around four customizable modalities: high-intensity cycling for endurance and cardio training; a range of boot camp classes for overall conditioning; team lifting circuit classes for strength training; and stretching programs for recovery. All of these will be available at the NYC flagship location, and a second pop-up will open in West Hollywood early next year.

The focus on community and spirituality fused with a tough-as-nails regime might be what best sets AARMY apart from its competition. We dont have teachers, we have coaches, Akman, a former model and professional trainer, told Robb Report. We dont have classes, we have practices. We speak to mental conditioning as well as motivation but we speak to it when we teach you the foundations. Its more of a practice for life.

But that unique melding coupled with its ample style makes sense given its founders. Both Akin and Davis grew up training to become professional athletes before formally coming to the world of fitness, gaining a strong celebrity following along the way. Davis, a former member of the USA Track and Field team, has trained Oprah and Beyonc, and Akman counts Karlie Kloss and Jake Gyllenhaal among his fanbase.

Tying them together is Laird, one of fashions most in-demand branding and ad experts, who has spent decades working with clients such as Calvin Klein and Tom Ford. His inclusion in the leadership might appear unusual at first glance, but for Laird, its perfectly logical. Fitness is now a major cultural force that touches every part of our lives, but surprisinglywhen it comes to content, the category is incredibly dated, he said. Everything looks like a formulaic infomercial. Why cant it have the same level of visual sophistication, style, energy and emotion as the best creative in music, fashion or art?

A new study suggests infants are more vulnerable to measles infection than previously thought.

The findings debunk notions that most babies are protected for much of their first year by maternal antibodies passed on through pregnancy.

In fact, Toronto researchers from the Hospital for Sick Children and Public Health Ontario say the vast majority of 196 infants they studied were susceptible by three months of age.

Story continues below advertisement

And none of the infants were immune at six months.

Babies typically dont receive the measles vaccine until they are 12 months old. That results in a wide susceptibility gap that the studys senior author called quite alarming.

Shelly Bolotin, a scientist at Public Health Ontario, said the findings underscore the need for everyone to keep their immunization up-to-date to protect the most vulnerable members of the population.

This is really troubling because measles is a serious disease, and it can be quite serious in infants, said Bolotin, also an assistant professor at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health and the Department of laboratory medicine and pathobiology at the University of Toronto.

It can be absolutely devastating and we need to make sure that we are protecting our most vulnerable members of our population infants.

The study was published online Thursday and appears in the December edition of the American Academy of Pediatrics journal, Pediatrics.

It found that 20 per cent of one-month-old infants had antibody levels below the protective threshold and 92 per cent of three-month-old babies has levels below the threshold.

Bolotin said researchers already knew infant immunity declines in the first six months of life, but they did not expect such a rapid drop.

We were surprised to see that waning or that lack of protection start earlier, said Bolotin, who collaborated with lead author Dr. Michelle Science, infectious disease specialist at Sick Kids and also an infection control physician at Public Health Ontario.

She said the assumption that babies are protected longer is based on studies conducted in places where measles remains prevalent. In those regions, mothers have more robust antibody levels to pass on to their child because their immunity comes through natural infection and is repeatedly boosted by continual exposure to measles.

In contrast, most Canadian women of child-bearing age are immune through vaccination because Canada eliminated measles in 1998. Although vaccination rates are high here, immunization through vaccine is associated with lower antibody levels than natural infection.

Bolotin said the Toronto study is unique in measuring antibodies at each month of an infants life from birth to 12 months. Previous research has focused on measuring immunity levels among babies at birth or those older than six months.

A companion paper written by two other experts that also appears in Pediatrics raises the question of whether its time to consider changing the vaccine schedule. It concludes theres no reason to vaccinate earlier, despite ongoing outbreaks in the United States.

Story continues below advertisement

Bolotin acknowledged this is a challenging question for policy-makers who must weigh the risk of infection against the best time to vaccinate children, whose immunity system is still maturing.

Infants between six and 11 months who travel to regions where measles is endemic are encouraged to receive an early dose of the vaccine in addition to their regular 12-month dose, but otherwise, all provinces in Canada recommend the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (MMR) at 12 months of age.

The schedule for a second dose of the vaccine varies across the country.

The Pediatrics commentary suggested early vaccination may actually hinder the efficacy of a later dose, resulting in lower levels of the antibody compared with children who first get the vaccine at 12 months.

Early vaccination may also alter response after revaccination, leading to lower levels of the antibody compared with children who are vaccinated for the first time during the second year of life, they state, citing one study that looked at immunity in children aged five to 10, and another published earlier this year that looked at short- and long-term impacts on children in the Netherlands.

As of late last week, Bolotin said Canada has seen 112 cases of measles this year, the vast majority of them imported or import-related.

Measles can cause severe complications including pneumonia, encephalitis and death.

As a society, we have been conditioned to have the least empathy for Black women when it comes to mental health. It is widely theorized by professionals working in the mental health space that the state of being a double minority makes Black women particularly susceptible to suffering from anxiety-related conditions. Sadly, research has shown that among Black women suffering from anxiety disorders, only 13 percent seek treatment (Neal-Barnett & Crowther, 2000). While a variety of different factors can be attributed to that low figure, without a doubt, a major prohibitive factor is the negative attitudes displayed toward us when we need help. Were either judged harshly for our condition or people straight up dont believe us. Take Summer Walker for example.

The Playing Games singer has been an open book regarding her diagnosis with social anxiety disorder. So much so that last week she announced that she would be canceling 20 dates on her Over It tour as a result of her battle with the condition.

Unfortunately Im not going to be able to finish this tour because it doesnt really coexist with my social anxiety and my introverted personality, Summer explained in a video post. I hope that people understand and respect that at the end of the day Im a person, I have feelings, I get tired, I get sad. Its just a lot. I dont want to lose myself for someone else. I want to give yall what I can, so Im going to keep making music and Im going to do a few shows, but I cant finish.

In the video caption, she went on to promise fans a full refund for canceled dates and expressed that she hoped that they would be understanding of her decision.

I truly appreciate all the support and love. As you know, I have been very open about my struggle with social anxiety. I want to continue to be healthy and to make music for yall, so I have decided to cut down some of the dates on the tour, she wrote. I hope you all can understand. Im grateful for every single one of you, and I hope that you understand that wellness/mental health is important. All canceled dates will be refunded asap. Thank you.

Unfortunately, in this country, we have issues when it comes to believing Black women, so even after Walker went as far as to cancel dates and lose out on potential earnings as a result of said condition, people decided that this was their cue to start dissecting her life and building a case against the singer in an effort to prove that she is being dishonest about having social anxiety. More often than not, their arguments centered around the flawed logic that people with social anxiety are incapable of enjoying themselves in public settings and thus any sign of Summer being playful or having a good time was used as proof that she must be lying. The outright attacks on Walker were revelatory of two sobering truths:

The most disgusting behavior took place following Sunday nights Soul Train Awards after the 23-year-old struggled through her acceptance speech for Best New Artist. A quick scroll through the singers Instagram page that night revealed a mixed bag of problematic and degrading comments ranging from She playing yall like a fiddle to You so f-cking weird and its starting to make me not like you as an artist. Some even went as far as to question how she was capable of attending an after-party with her friends if she couldnt make it through a speech. Like I said, complete trash.

Eventually, Summer decided to sound off on her critics in a separate post, essentially blaming their ignorance and vile comments for the reason that so many members of our community with mental disorders especially children go undiagnosed and untreated.

1. Bareface & beautiful

2. You know the scariest sh-t Ive been witnessing is that most of the women leaving negative comments like its an act, I dont have the right to act like this b/c Im famous, b-tch you slow or just flat out making fun of me for being vulnerable. HAVE CHILDREN, these women have children. It makes me feel soo bad cause its clear that if the children are developing or struggling with any type of mental disorder such as anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, itll be brushed to the side and will never receive any treatment because itll just be an act. These parents are probably so ignorant that instead of reading up on symptoms they just whoop the child sad, my sh-t started at 6 so yes kids have it too.

Im sure people will continue to justify their disbelief regarding Summers disorder. Today, theyll use a twerk video. Tomorrow they will use her past as an exotic dancer. Next week, it will be something else. But the Summer Walker conspiracy serves as a mirror reflection into a larger societal problem when it comes to Black women and girls and our mental health. The numbers dont lie. Just last month, we reported that the suicide rate for Black female teens is on the rise. In 2017, they were 70 percent more likely to attempt suicide than their white counterparts. We should not have to prove that were not okay. Lifestyle choices do not negate the presence of mental illness. If we say that were struggling, believe us the first time.

Sam Hobbeheydar finished 48th in the Freshman-Sophomore race in 17:38.5. Clayton Guthrie took 84th in 17:56.9, while Carter Howell was 176th (18:40.7), Charlie Smith 263rd (19:38.8), Kellen Hottell 284th (19:57.9), Ethan Lax 290th (20:01.3), Luke Chandler 355th (21:40.8) and Dylan Sluys 372nd (22:34.7).

The Seymour football coaching staff say Brendan Smith and Ethan Corwin were key members of the Seymour football team this season.

Smith was named Seymours most valuable offensive player and Corwin received MVP honors for the defense during the Seymour football awards program attended by 335 persons Wednesday night at the Pines Evergreen Room.

Smith quarterbacked the Owls for most of the season and saw some action at running back. He completed 54 of 121 passes for 940 yards and 10 touchdowns. Smith rushed 114 times for 558 yards and seven touchdowns.

He accepted me right away and I enjoyed every minute I worked with him, offensive coordinator Jeff Richey said.

Heading into his third season at the helm, head coach Mike Kelly said he knew he was going to get a lot of effort and leadership from his quarterback.

He is pretty quiet, he doesnt say much," Kelly said. "I appreciated his effort and his leadership.

Defensive coordinator Brian Balsmeyer, in presenting Corwin his award said, He was a team captain and a hard worker and took over the defense as a leader.

Kelly remarked at how much Corwin changed himself for the betterment of the team.

As a junior we didnt think he was going to get on the football field," Kelly said. "He changed positions and made a big improvement. He loves football and is a student of the game.

This fall Corwin had 37 tackles, 64 assists, one interception and he recovered three fumbles.

Cameron Barr received the mental attitude award.

In many sports you get knocked down," assistant coach Jeff Klakamp said. "Cameron would fight even harder after getting knocked down. He will be successful in life in whatever he does.

Jake Roberts was named the most valuable lineman.

He is the most confident player Ive ever met, assistant coach Steven Wolfsberger said in presenting his award.

Jacob Rotert was named the most improved defensive player, Jalen Scales was announced as the most improved defensive player and Caleb Elliott was named the most valuable special teams player.

Klakamp introduced the freshman team and said that squad had a record of 6-2. Assistant coach Zach Ruble introduced the junior varsity players.

As we go through the season we have goals," Kelly said. "We want to win the first game, stay undefeated at home, win the Jackson Bowl, win the conference and advance in the tournament. Those goals are never going to change.

The Owls reached the first goal, and started the season 4-0, but lost their final six, including the first round of sectional at Franklin. The Owls lost each of their final five regular season games by seven points or less.

We were a whole lot more competitive this year than in recent years," Kelly said. "The seniors bought into the program.

We put in a new offense and a new defense and were progressing to the next level. We learned a whole lot about our strengths and weaknesses and were continuing to buy in to have success.

His message to the returning players was: Invest in the little things. Be the best you can be.
