Last week was the first full week of January and for most of us the first full week for our New Years resolutions.

So how did you do? Did you do well or not so well? If you did well, thats amazing! Well done you. If you didnt do well ... so what?

We are now in a new week, number two of 52, so whether last week went well or badly it was only a small piece of the jigsaw.

You have plenty of time to achieve your goals and one bad week doesnt mean failure. Consistency is everything and it is about finishing the month with more good weeks than bad ones.

Use each week to learn. What did you do well? What worked for you? What didnt work so well? What needs a little more work?

Keep doing that each week and over time you will build a lifestyle you can sustain for the rest of your life. Its a process, not a quick fix, and it needs to work for you.

Fortitude Fitness is on the Poulton Industrial Estate, Beacon Road. Visit http://www.fortitudefit.co.uk for more details.

Orangetheory Fitness launches 100th virtual studio in Canada on the strength of its Orangetheory Live platform – Canada NewsWire

Posted: at 4:53 pm


without comments

Orangetheory Live brings real-time coaching from a local, certified coach to an intimate group setting. Using the new platform, coaches offer real-time feedback and motivation, akin to a private personal training session, with the added benefit of connecting members to their local studio community before, during and after each workout.

As the pandemic continues to impact Canada, many businesses have been forced to reclose, including nearly all Orangetheory locations across the country. But that hasn't stopped the brand from pivoting and innovating to keep up with changing member needs.

"We recognized early on in the pandemic that we would need to innovate to keep our members active and engaged," says Blake MacDonald, President, OTF Canada. "While there are a multitude of at-home workouts available to Canadians, both free and paid, every one of these offerings fail to deliver on the most critical component of a successful fitness routine the accountability and motivation that can only be delivered by a live local coach. Our goal is to deliver world-class interactive, coach-led training to our members, regardless of the government timeline to re-open studios. It took a herculean effort from our team to expedite the launch, and we're excited to see our studios and members are quickly adopting and loving the new technology."

In October 2019, the international chain reached a major brand milestone by opening its 100th studio in Canada. This was a testament to Canadians' passion for the workout a unique trifecta of science, coaching and technology. While a strong growth mindset was in place, by March 2020, Orangetheory made the hard decision to shut its doors to help flatten the COVID-19 curve and was the first national fitness studio to do so.

The brand began rollout of the new platform in October 2020, starting with its Quebec studios. As of today, 95 per cent of Canadian studios have started offering Orangetheory Live, making it available in all eight provinces where the brand currently operates.

"Now more than ever, it's critical that Canadians invest in their health and fitness and are not deterred by the temporary closures of fitness facilities," MacDonald adds. "Exercise is proven to be an integral component in supporting positive physical and mental health. We want to do our part by providing Canadians an outlet where they can focus on themselves during these unprecedented times and Orangetheory Live is our solution to that problem."

More information about Orangetheory Fitness is available at http://www.orangetheoryfitness.com.

About Orangetheory Fitness Orangetheory Fitness is a scientifically designed, one-of-a-kind, group personal training workout broken into intervals of cardiovascular and strength training. Backed by the science of excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), Orangetheory's heart-rate-monitored workouts are designed to get participants within the target-training zone of 84 per cent to 91 per cent of their max heart rate, which stimulates metabolism and increases energy. Led by highly skilled coaches, each Orangetheory Fitness workout incorporates endurance, strength and power elements through both their Orangetheory workout at-home or through a variety of equipment including treadmills, rowing machines, TRX suspension training and free weights in their physical locations. The result is more energy, visible toning and the 'Orange Effect' where participants keep burning calories for up to 36 hours post-workout (the Orangetheory Fitness 'afterburn') for an average of 500+ total calories burned per every 60-minute workout.

From remote working to better health programs, these are the workforce trends in 2021 – WXYZ

Posted: at 4:53 pm


without comments

(WXYZ) During the height of the pandemic, the unemployment rate for southeast Michigan approached nearly 25%.

While many of those jobs have come back, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says the unemployment rate for the Detroit-Dearborn-Warren metro area is still at nearly 9%.

The personal finance website WalletHub released a survey highlighting the strongest local job markets in the U.S., comparing more than 180 cities across 32 key metrics.

According to Robert Half & Associates, 51% of companies plan to expand in 2021, especially in the legal, technology and creative marketing sectors.

Keith Marchiando used to commute from Michigan to New York for his job, but he found a great new opportunity. He's an executive with a Keego Harbor biotech company. He said when deciding on his next opportunity, it wasn't just a company's ability to operate remotely, but the ability to operate well.

"Everybody is doing it, but does the company have the tools, and has it modified its culture enough to be able to allow people to work effectively from home?" he asked.

Carrie Schochet of Purple Squirrel Advisors says that's just one question shaping the workforce trends in 2021. She said employees are placing a high priority on physical safety and emotional security.

"Employees overall are really focused on and wanting to know that they're cared for as a total person, versus just the work product that they're going to produce," she said.

That has companies beefing up wellness initiatives and employee assistance programs, both to care for current employees and to attract new ones.

Even with the vaccine rollout underway, don't expect virtual working to disappear overnight. Many believe schedules will be more flexible.

Google may have come to that realization. The company plans to keep 200,000 full-time and contract employees working remotely until at least July of this year, and that opens up new opportunities for workers here in Michigan to work remotely or let Michigan natives bring those big salaries here.

The workplace trends for women are mixed. More women than men are expected to drop out of the workforce.

It's all part of the pandemic challenges women face around childcare, work-life management and inequality.

But, even in the face of those challenges, Allbright said more than 60% of women are considering a complete career change, and 1 in 4 are launching a new venture, with the most popular being publishing and health and fitness.

Cardio Fitness Lowers Risk of Heart Disease | Heart Disease Risk and Cardio Fitness – Runner’s World

Posted: at 4:53 pm


without comments

As runners, we already know that high levels of physical activity, including logging long runs, can improve our cardio fitness and has a slew of health benefits. And new research published in PLOS Medicine further supports you getting out there for a daily run or walk. Researchers found that the more active you are, the less at-risk you are for cardiovascular disease, with no threshold to the benefits. This effect was particularly pronounced in active people, such as runners.

Researchers gathered data from accelerometers worn by over 90,000 participants, which tracked their physical activity over the course of seven days. People were then divided into four groups from least to most active. Those who were most active (in the top 25 percent) had an average reduction of 48 percent to 57 percent in their risk of cardiovascular disease, Aiden Doherty, associate professor in the Nuffield Department of Population Health and the University of Oxford told Runners World.

Join Runners World+ today for more health and fitness news!

This estimated benefit is greater than what previous studies using questionnaires to measure physical activity have obtained and suggests physical activity might be even more important for health than previously anticipated, Terrence Dwyer, AO, MD, Emeritus Professor of Epidemiology at the University of Oxford, told Runners World.

WHO Updates Physical Activity Guidelines

While the exact reason for this correlation is unknown, part of the protective effect is probably from lower levels of obesity, lower risk of diabetes, better blood lipid profile (particularly with triglycerides), and lower blood pressure. However, some of the effect might be directly related to a fitter heart that is not as readily damaged when problems arise, Dwyer said.

As the research was done with research-grade, Fitbit-like fitness trackers, typically you wouldnt use these during workouts or know how to properly interpret the data, so the results cant be directly replicated in your day-to-day workouts. However, the results suggest there is considerable benefit from increasing physical activity from the lowest levels, where people are sedentary for most of the day, to just a little physical activity.

Beginners Half Marathon Plan

In another study I was involved in, we used pedometers, which provide simpler data for those who are thinking of this in terms of how far they might walk or run. In that study, we found benefit seemed to start as people increased steps from 2 to 3,000 steps per day, even by 1,000 steps or less than half a mile Dwyer said.

And, these findings further emphasize the new World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines on physical activity which recommend at least 150 to 300 minutes of moderate to vigorous aerobic activity per week for all adults.

Researchers arent sure exactly why more cardio fitness correlates with a lower risk of heart disease. One explanation might be that an increase in total energy output as physical activity increases might provide continuing improvement in the risk factors (such as obesity or high blood pressure).

Really, though, this should not be surprising as we might expect that if you do something that is good for you, then benefits might increase as one does more, Dwyer said.

And though data generally suggests you can benefit from more physical activity, be sure to check in with your doctor before drastically changing up your routine.

How can organizations offer health and wellness benefits in 2021? Ask HR – USA TODAY

Posted: at 4:53 pm


without comments

Johnny C. Taylor Jr., Special to USA TODAY Published 7:00 a.m. ET Jan. 12, 2021

Your employee assistance programs may offer virtual fitness programs during the COVID-19 pandemic.(Photo: Maxpetac / E+ via Getty Images)

Johnny C. Taylor Jr., a human resources expert, is tackling your questions as part of a series for USA TODAY. Taylor is president and CEO of the Society for Human Resource Management, the world's largestHRprofessional society.

The questions are submitted by readers, and Taylor's answers below have been edited for length and clarity.

Have a question?Do you have an HR or work-related question youd like me to answer?Submit it here.

Question: My office will not be reopening for the foreseeable future. Before we shut down, the office gym was popular among employees. Since it's no longer open, how can my company provide more health and wellness benefits? What are some examples? Anonymous

Johnny C. Taylor Jr.: Your question is spot on. A major part of creating a positive workplace culture is ensuring employers are supporting their workers both physically and mentally.

As we welcome a new year, there are several things employers can do to provide health and wellness benefits and the good news is, they are likely already in place. After all, 58% of organizations offered general wellness programs in 2019.

How to work out in 2021: Some back at the gym, but many use fitness apps, online classes

Step one is to look at your health insurance and employee assistance programs. Even in these strange times, I imagine there are plenty of virtual wellness options to choose from. While you mentioned your office gym is closed, employee assistance programs may offer exercise and wellness classes like virtual boot camps or yoga as well as cooking and nutrition classes.

If you and your colleagues are missing the office camaraderie, like so many of us are, you could also suggest fun, health-focused activities like a step contest or a healthy cooking competition.

Going further, I cannot highlight the importance of access to mental health services enough. Employee assistance programs often include resources that connect employees with a provider for their mental and emotional health needs. With 41% of workers feeling burned out as a result of the pandemic, these resources can help employees navigate these incredibly challenging times through additional psychological services.

If your employer doesn't or can't provide such a program, ask your HR team if they can compile resources and information from your local health department to share with employees.

If you really want to make your health and wellness program unique to your workforce, survey those who know it best: employees. An employee poll can reveal what sparks their interest.

Im willing to bet youll get plenty of responses to help you determine the kind of benefits best suited for them. Some may even have recommendations and referrals you might have overlooked.

Whatever you decide, dont forget to measure their engagement to help you refine your program throughout the year. Good luck on what Im certain will be the start of a healthy journey for your organization!

Informational interview: How do I ask for one without sounding awkward? Ask HR

Discrimination: Is my workplace being ageist? Ask HR

A record 4,085 COVID-19 deaths were reported in the U.S. on Jan. 7, according to Johns Hopkins data. USA TODAY

Q: Our company policy is that everyone must wear a mask while in the building, even at your desk.I have one supervisor who pulls his mask off while at his desk and has his nose uncovered when walking through the office. As the HR Manager, I have spoken to him about the need for the personal protective equipment.This seems to only last as long as HR is in the vicinity. How should I handle this situation? Anonymous

Taylor.: The answer is in your question its your companys policy to wear a mask when inside the workplace. Unless there is a legitimate health or safety reason, or a sincerely held religious belief, everyone at the worksite should comply.

As an HR Manager, you know this: Organizations must provide a reasonably safe environment for their workforce. But we cant create a hazard-free workspace if theres no follow-through. The policy is therule for a reason, and if employees arent getting the message, employers may need to reinforce measures to ensure a healthy worksite, up to and including disciplinary measures.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission says employers can mandate employees to wear masks or other protective clothing, such as gloves and gowns, during a pandemic something many employers are considering. In fact, 86% of organizations are implementing or considering the required use of personal protective equipment.

Masks are also recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and certain states and municipalities have their own mask requirement laws.

There are, of course, exceptions to the rule. Accommodations may be necessary under the American with Disabilities Act for employees with disabilities or sincerely held religious beliefs that prevent them from wearing a mask.

It sounds like youve already taken the steps to speak to this employee. Continue to respectfully, but firmly, stress the importance of wearing a mask at the worksite. Its not just a single employee that could be impacted, but the entire organization. The HR team can continue to communicate your companys policy on masks through emails, signs around the office, and verbally during meetings.

You mention that this person is a supervisor, but supervisors must lead by example. When leaders refuse to wear masks, it sends a message to the whole team that it might be acceptable when thats not the reality of your company.

May your team remain safe in the new year!

Global Connected Wearable Device Markets 2021-2026 in Healthcare, Wellness, and Fitness by Device Type, Use Case, and Application -…

Posted: at 4:53 pm


without comments

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Connected Wearable Device Market in Healthcare, Wellness, and Fitness by Device Type, Use Case, and Application 2021-2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This report evaluates the current state of the wearable technology ecosystem including devices and applications within the medical, wellness, and fitness markets. The report addresses key challenges, market players, solutions, and the future of wearables in healthcare and related industries including fitness and well being.

The report also provides an outlook for the future of wearable devices in medical, wellness, and fitness with forecasts for the period 2021-2026. This includes application analysis and forecasts by physiological activity and the role of wearables in elder care and assisted living.

There is great demand in the healthcare industry for remote monitoring and diagnostics. Driving factors include healthcare cost inflation coupled with a rapidly aging global population within the developed countries. For example, 23 percent of United States residents are projected to be age 65 or older by 2030.

Wearable devices for medical, wellness and fitness purposes are many and varied, consisting of various form factors depending on the purpose and placement of the human body. Wearable devices can be worn and/or integrated into apparel to become less intrusive. Sensors (biomechanical, motion, etc.) may be placed at specific parts of the body to communicate with an overall Body Area Network system.

Improving supply factors include improvements in electronics miniaturization and innovation leading to reduced device cost. R&D in wearable healthcare devices is leading to enhanced functionality, form factor improvements, and frictionless integration with the Internet of Things (IoT) systems and solutions.

Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication enables wearable healthcare devices to communicate autonomously with monitoring systems for both real-time decision making and data gathering for future analysis. Secure M2M-enabled data transport and IoT system connectivity facilitates the integration of healthcare info with data analytics solutions.

One of the core reasons for wearables in healthcare is to transmit information for medical support from a licensed professional. However,there is also a market for "quantified self" in healthcare, which refers to the incorporation of technology into data acquisition on aspects of a person's daily life. This enables a "Do it Yourself" (DIY) tool for consumers to self-monitor and self-report important wellness items such as blood pressure. The alternative is to allow medical data to transmit to a trusted entity.

Advanced healthcare data management solutions, supported by artificial intelligence, are capable of processing massive amounts of healthcare information, including unstructured data acquired from many different sources and contexts. One of challenges for the healthcare industry is tying these systems into healthcare devices in a manner in which data is leveraged while simultaneously preserving device security and end-user privacy.

Walking vs. running: Weight loss, heart health, and more – Medical News Today

Posted: December 16, 2020 at 12:55 am


without comments

Walking and running are both suitable forms of exercise for weight loss and heart health. The benefits and risks depend on a persons goals and current level of health and fitness.

While both activities allow a person to burn calories, lose weight, and lower their risk of heart disease, there is much debate over which is better.

Read on to learn more about the benefits and risks.

Cardiovascular exercise is also known simply as cardio. It often uses major muscle groups in the body, gets the heart pumping faster, and increases breathing rate.

Walking and running are both types of cardio.

Cardio exercises offer numerous health benefits, including:

One study examined the benefits of exercise for mental health and found that 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity, such as brisk walking, was enough to reduce anxiety and depression, alongside its other health benefits.

Walking and running provide similar health benefits, but running has a calorie-burning edge over walking.

According to the American Council on Exercise, a person who is 160 pounds burns approximately 15.1 calories per minute while running. In contrast, a person of the same weight burns around 8.7 calories per minute walking.

The number of calories a person burns while walking and running depends on several factors, including:

Running burns more calories per minute than walking. However, walkers can still burn the same number of calories by doing so for longer.

However, depending on a persons goals, walking and running can still offer the same benefits.

Both walking and running are suitable for losing weight, boosting mental health, and improving overall health.

One study published in the journal Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology concluded that walking and running reduced the risk of hypertension, high cholesterol levels, coronary heart disease, and diabetes.

However, the study did not directly address whether walking or running could benefit heart health and cardio.

Another report by the American Heart Association states that brisk walking at least 150 minutes per week is associated with a lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.

Studies have found that storing a lot of fat in the midsection is associated with the risk of diseases, such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

Whether choosing walking or running, exercise can help a person reduce their belly fat.

One study found that regular aerobic exercises, such as walking, reduced belly fat and helped people manage obesity.

Walking and running help burn calories in the body, but they also help reduce belly fat, depending on the intensity of the exercise.

However, running may help reduce belly fat more effectively. One study in 27 middle-aged females with obesity found that those who participated in high-intensity exercise training lost significantly more belly fat than those who did low-intensity exercise or no exercise training for 16 weeks.

Scientists need to perform more research comparing the effects of walking and running on belly fat reduction.

For example, a 2018 review found that low-intensity exercise was more effective in reducing abdominal fat, while high-intensity training had a bigger effect in decreasing overall body fat.

People who want to lose belly fat should consider speaking with their doctor, who can help them determine the best exercise program and diet for their needs.

While running and walking offer various health benefits, including maintaining a healthy weight and improving heart health, they may also come with risks.

There is a higher risk of injury with running than walking. This is because running is of higher intensity and puts more stress on the body the joints in particular.

One study found that walkers have a lower risk of injury, while runners have a high risk.

Some of the most common injuries associated with running include:

For runners, it is crucial to take steps to reduce the risk of running-related injuries.

If a person has concerns about exercise-related injuries, they could consider walking instead, which offers similar health benefits to running, with a reduced risk of injury.

Those with arthritis, heart disease, or other chronic health conditions who are considering running should consult their doctor first.

Depending on a persons goals, walking and running are appropriate forms of exercise. Both can help people maintain a moderate weight and improve their heart health, mental health, and more.

No matter which form of exercise a person chooses, they will see positive results with regular participation.

For those starting a fitness journey, walking might be a more suitable choice since it involves low or moderate intensity. However, for people whose goal is to burn more calories, running may be more appropriate.

Get to the root cause of tooth pain – Daily Herald

Posted: at 12:54 am


without comments

Your teeth are just a few tiny little parts of your body, but they have a giant impact on your quality of life.

When you dont want to eat food that requires a lot of chewing because it might cause pain, or you avoid hot and cold beverages due to sensitivity, sometimes your dietary options can become limited.

In some cases, tooth pain might even disrupt your whole day and interrupt sleep at night.

If you are experiencing tooth pain, its time to get to the bottom of what might be causing it. Dont brush your pain under the rug and assume its just something you have to deal with. Figuring out the root cause of your discomfort can get you on the right track to fixing it.

Here are some of the things that might be hurting your chompers:

If your gums start to recede, you wont just notice the new look it gives your teeth. Over time, you may begin to experience tooth sensitivity and pain. Receding gums provide more opportunity for plaque and bacteria to damage your teeth.

Bacteria in your mouth can create acids that wear away tooth enamel and allow cavities to form. Tooth decay can cause pain, sensitivity and surface stains on the teeth. Good dental hygiene is crucial to prevent tooth decay. Brushing and flossing regularly helps keep sugary and starchy foods off the surface of the teeth, and fluoride helps with enamel repair.

If your teeth hurt as a result of decay, do not ignore the pain, says Scott Morely, dietary manager at Cedar Crest Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. Without proper care, tooth decay can lead to loss of teeth and make it more difficult to eat healthy foods.

You may not be aware that you are grinding your teeth, but if you wake up with a headache or sore jaw, theres a good chance it is the culprit. Tooth grinding, or bruxism, is often the result of stress or tension, and it can happen during the day or night. It can wear down the surface of the teeth and cause pain or even broken teeth.

A broken tooth can be just as bad as it sounds, especially if a person experienced trauma such as an accident. It can also be as minor as a small crack. A fracture is a break in the enamel of the tooth, and more serious fractures can cause pain when the tooth pulp is exposed to food and bacteria.

An abscessed tooth is about as much fun as getting a root canal. The pulp in your tooths root can become infected and cause swelling in the gums, and you might notice pain while you eat. When this happens, its time for the canals to be cleaned out and sealed also known as a root canal.

Tooth pain is not a minor issue. It can put a real damper on your quality of life and can even lead to serious health issues. Talk to your dentist and figure out an action plan if you have tooth pain that just wont go away.
