A Leeds health and fitness therapist has seen a 50% increase in its number of clients during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Fitness Fusion has not only seen an increase in clients from Yorkshire but has also treated people across the UK via Zoom.

The company said that uncertainty, redundancies, fear of becoming ill, and the grief of losing loved ones have caused an increase in mental health issues during the pandemic, with that number predicted to increase if lockdowns are reimposed.

Anna Ferguson from Fitness Fusion uses a technique known as brain working recursive theory (BWRT), a method of psychotherapy which is rooted in neuroscience, with the aim of helping people to reduce binge eating triggered by the anxiety of the pandemic.

Anna commented: With all the uncertainty around coronavirus and the impact its having on our day to day lives, Im seeing an increase in the number of people coming to me because their emotional eating monster has taken over their lives and is making them miserable.

BWRT was created by UK author and psychotherapist Terence Watts, who said: The therapy works on the hindbrain that controls the fight or flight response we experience when exposed to danger.

If it recognises a pattern that triggers anxiety, it automatically prompts the release of hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, which can trigger our need to snack, amongst other things.

Caregiving does not cause depression. However, caregivers often overlook their own self-care because they are diligently trying to provide the best possible care for their loved ones.

Because depression is often seen as a sign of weakness, or because of embarrassment, caregivers might hide their feelings from others and continue to ignore the condition, and their mental health will suffer. Untreated depression can inhibit the caregivers ability to provide care to his or her loved one and affect physical health as well.

Caregivers should learn to recognize the signs of depression, such as feelings of sadness, hopelessness or helplessness; difficulty sleeping; feeling exhausted, overburdened or overwhelmingly stressed all the time.

If you have these feelings, that could be an indication you are suffering from some depression.

Studies have shown that caregivers, regardless of age, suffer from excess depression, medical illness and even mortality compared with noncaregivers.

Depression is typically diagnosed when signs and symptoms are consistently occurring throughout the day, every day, for an extensive period.

Individuals experience depression in various ways that can change over time. Pay attention to symptoms such as: fatigue and loss of energy; weight loss or weight gain; changes in appetite; anxiety and irritation; trouble concentrating; memory impairment; feelings of worthiness; guilt and self-blame; unexplained physical ailments; and even suicidal thoughts.

Oftentimes, caregivers set unrealistic expectations on themselves and their caregiving roles, and they lean toward perfection or compare themselves to other caregivers. These expectations can cause undue physical and emotional stress and strain, leading to depression.

Caregivers can reduce the risk of depression by enlisting the support of family and friends, participating in support groups or by using respite services that can give them a break.

Additionally, practicing self-care, such as implementing a routine of physical exercise, a healthy diet and keeping a regular sleep schedule, can be effective strategies in warding off the symptoms of depression.

Activities, including meditation, yoga and creative expression, and taking time out to enjoy community or cultural events, as well as socializing with friends can also reduce the risk of depression.

Further, being more informed and finding resources about Alzheimers disease will help the caregiver with tips and strategies for caring for his or her loved one, which can reduce the stresses of caregiving that leads to depression.

For the caregivers health and the health of his or her loved one, its important for the caregiver to see a doctor to get a proper diagnosis. Whether the caregiver is assessed by a primary care provider, a psychiatrist, psychologist or other mental health professional, an accurate diagnosis can open the door to receiving treatment and counseling and put you on the road to a healthy recovery and a better sense of well-being.

Questions about Alzheimer's disease or related disorders can be sent to Dana Territo, the Memory Whisperer, owner of Dana Territo Consulting, LLC, at thememorywhisperer@gmail.com.

News

You can vote now for the winner of the 2020 Health Hero challenge.

You can start voting right now for the winner of the 2020 Be Well Philly Health Hero Challenge.

Were thrilled to announce that we now have our three finalists for the 2020 Be Well Philly Health Hero Challenge presented by Independence Blue Cross. Here at Be Well Philly, we constantly strive to highlight people who are helping others in the greater Philadelphia area live healthier and better lives. The Health Hero Challenge is our way of honoring the incredible and often unseen work that people do every day, even in the most challenging of circumstances.

We set out at the beginning of this challenge looking for medical providers, nonprofit leaders, entrepreneurs, teachers, anyone really whos making a difference in our community from a health and wellness perspective. And, you all delivered. You shared powerful personal stories of the heroes making a difference in our community, which led to to the nomination of these three finalists. Now, its time to choose the winner.

Name: Asasiya Muhammad (@thepeoplesmidwife), womens health advocate and midwife at Inner Circle Midwifery (@innercirclephilly), a private home birth practice based in Germantown.

Nonprofit of choice: Maternity Care Coalition. Since 1980, Maternity Care Coalition has assisted more than 135,000 families throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania, focusing particularly on neighborhoods with high rates of poverty, infant mortality, health disparities, and changing immigration patterns. A familys needs change as they go through pregnancy and their childs first years, and MCC offers a range of services and programs for every step along the way.

What motivates you to try to make Philadelphia a healthier place, and what policy would you institute if you could? I cherish Philadelphia as the place where I have had my most life-shaping experiences, some high such as graduating college, becoming a mother, and raising a family and others low. Ive had experiences that have left me feeling isolated, lost, and voiceless. As a Black mother, I have faced the feelings of fear and uncertainty many Black women in Philadelphia face, because of the haunting statistic that we are two times more likely to die during pregnancy, or within a year of giving birth due to pregnancy-related complications. As a midwife, I understand that the majority of these complications are preventable, and therefore have made it my mission to build a community-based a practice that is committed to diminishing this disparity in Philadelphia. My practice is unique in that it has a wraparound care component that bundles nutritional counseling and fitness classes into standard midwifery care.

I would institute a policy that expanded the use of and access to community-based providers and particularly related to those specializing in natural health and food access. This would look like expanding insurance access to providers like midwives, doulas, nutritional counselors, and fitness experts so that these services are both normalized and accessible to a larger part of the population. This would further look like creating sustainable food cooperatives in neighborhoods that are distant from larger markets and who now rely on stores that mostly carry processed foods.

Name: Vicky Borgia, a local doctor who utilizes Direct Primary Care (DPC), an alternative payment model for healthcare services. She specializes in reproductive health, LGBTQIA health and integrative medicine.

Nonprofit of choice: Womens Medical Fund. Racial justice and reproductive justice issues are intertwined. In 1976, Congress banned federal Medicaid coverage for abortion through the Hyde amendment. Then, in 1985, Pennsylvania prohibited state Medicaid coverage for abortion. Since then, Womens Medical Fund has provided funding to thousands of individuals struggling to get by and enrolled in Medicaid. Womens Medical Fund has expanded their mission to include advocacy and community organizing.

What motivates you to try and make Philadelphia a healthier place, and what policies would you institute if you could? I believe that healthcare is a human right. I serve communities that have historically been medically disenfranchised because I can use my skills and education to make changes in a system rife with health inequities. I center access, inclusion and equity in my direct primary care practice, which enables me to take the time I need with my patients and give the care they deserve.

Since it is well-established that racism and other forms of systemic oppression are major factors in increased morbidity, mortality, and generational trauma for all, my policy recommendations focus on dismantling systems of oppression in Philadelphia. This includes reprioritizing city investments from policing and instituting PILOTS where big health and educational nonprofits would volunteer a portion of their revenue to the general fund. These resources could be then be used to fund education and invest in communities by improving access to services, opportunities, food, and healthcare.

Name: Christy Silva, cofounder of Aidans Heart Foundation, a nonprofit committed to providing awareness, education, and support to the communities of the southeast Pennsylvania region and its surrounding area to create heart-safe communities for youth regarding the prevention of, or response to, tragic instances of Sudden Cardiac Arrest.

What motivates you to try to make Philadelphia a healthier place and what policy would you institute if you could ?

My motivation for wanting to make Greater Philadelphia a healthier place actually comes from a tragedy in my family. In September of 2010, my seven-year-old son Aidan, who had no prior health conditions, died without warning from sudden cardiac arrest, or SCA. I had never even heard of SCA prior to his death. As I struggled with my grief and tried to understand why my seemingly healthy child collapsed one sunny Saturday, I plunged into research. I learned that, nationally, approximately one out of every 300 youth has an undetected heart condition that could cause SCA. The American Heart Association quotes that more than 7,000 children under age 18 are struck by SCA each year. This equates to one young person, nearly every hour, every day, every year. Its a little known fact that Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is the leading cause of death in student athletes on school grounds. As a result of what I learned, I became determined to still be Aidans mom and try to prevent SCA from taking more young lives in our local communities. Im motivated by these facts to do everything possible to decrease the number of preventable deaths in young people in Philadelphia and its surrounding suburbs. I co-founded Aidans Heart Foundation shortly after Aidans death. To date, we have placed 89 AEDs in youth based sports facilities, trained 6,100 youth on how to perform CPR and how to use an AED, and we have partnered with pediatric cardiologists to provide 2,100 free heart screenings to kids and teens in efforts to detect heart conditions through a simple, non-invasive ECG exam.

If I could institute a policy to make Greater Philadelphia a healthier region, it would center around protecting hearts. Annual electrocardiogram exams at every well-child visit, particularly for young athletes; CPR and AED training for all teachers, coaches, instructors, etc. who work with physically active youth; and AED devices available in all schools, child care centers, dance, martial arts, gymnastics and other studios where kids are active, in addition to AEDs being prominently placed on every athletic playing field. These arent impossible tasks, but they do take the awareness of the public, particularly parents, to urge our community leaders and policymakers to implement these measures. We owe it to our kids to keep them safe at play.

Vote now to select your 2020 winner. Remember: the winner will be named the 2020 Health Hero and will receive a $15,000 donation to her charity of choice, and the two runners-up will each receive $2,500 donations to the charities of their choice.

Vote HERE now. (Remember, you can vote once a day until November 16th!) Stay in touch with @bewellphilly and @phillymagevents.

Global Health and Fitness Club Market Growth Rate and Opportunities By 2025 With COVID-19 Outbreak, Top Players: Original Temple Gym, Metroflex Gym,...

A personal trainer works with a client, as seen through the window of a downtown London fitness studio.

London's top doctor unveiled a list of modifications to new rules meant to limit the spread of COVID-19 within the city's sport and fitness community that are set to take effect this weekend.

The changes affect a sweeping new set of guidelines issued by the London-Middlesex Health Unit earlier this week, that imposed strict changes to the way health and fitness centres, such as gyms, spin and yoga studios and other fitness studios operate.

The modifications presented by Medical Officer of HealthDr. Chris Mackie Friday represent a slight loosening of the rules in some cases, but he emphasized that the intent remains the same to prevent the kind of super spreader event at a downtown Hamilton fitness studio earlier this month from happening in London.

"Spinco was following all the rules," Mackie said. "From a public healthcare perspective, this is a public health disaster. The main goal of our order around fitness facilities is to try to avoid this situation."

The incident at SpinCo in Hamilton infected a total of 80 people, even though all of the people participating in the high intensity workout were spaced two metres apart.

Mackie told the virtual town hall Friday that a total of 48people were initially infected directly by participating in the class, including 46 patrons and two staff, who then spread the illness other settings, resulting in 26 secondary cases, affecting 15 homes, eight schools, six healthcare facilities and 22 workplaces, resulting in hundreds of people being tested for the virus.

"We're not willing to wait until we have cases here before taking reasonable actions to prevent them. The fact that these things are dangerous somewhere else means they're dangerous here and we need to put limitations in place to prevent that risk."

The new, modified set of rules presented in the virtual town hall Friday affect all gyms, health clubs, community centres, arenas, exercise, danceand yoga studios in the London region and include:

Mackie said it's important for people who play team sports to physical distance when they aren't on the playing surface, to ensure a reduced risk of transmission of the virus.

"That's where you see those very large outbreaks," he said. "People sitting on a bench breathing heavily contributes significantly."

"We are not going to allow the kind of super spreader conditions that allowed the situation at SpinCo."

Mackie said the reason health officials are focusing so much on sport, and not places such as malls or large retail outlets where larger numbers of people are permitted, is because of the heavy breathing and increased cardiovascular activity associated with sport increases the risk of transmission.

"In all those settings people are wearing masks," he told the virtual forum. "Second of all, they're not involved in intense activity. You don't get people doing heavy breaking. Heavy breathing Contributes spectacular to the spread of COVID."

The new rules take effect Saturday at midnight and will affect all sports and fitness activities scheduled in the London region this weekend.

Health and Fitness club Market Expanding at 7.7% CAGR to Hit USD 87.64 billion by 2026 - Illadel Graff Supply

BOSTON, Oct. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --The International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association (IHRSA) released first-of-its kind data from a new national survey* of Americans with gym memberships that addresses their physical and mental state throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The full results from the study, which was conducted in collaboration with leading international insights company Kelton Global, a Material Company, are published in "The COVID Era Fitness Consumer" IHRSA report and delve into how Americans feel about the pandemic overall, what effects it has had on their overall health and fitness, how the virus has shaped their personal wellness outlooks, their overall comfort levels returning to the gym and more.

As gyms closed due to COVID-19 in March, members were forced to change up their routines. While some got creative with at-home workouts, others struggled to find a comparable fitness solution. The study overwhelmingly found that gymgoers look forward to returning to their gym and at least one aspect of physically being in their gym (95 percent), plus the routines and sense of community they associate with it as they push to reach their personal fitness goals. In fact, when asked what they missed most, the only thing Americans miss more than going to the gym (59 percent) is visiting their loved ones (65 percent) more so than going to concerts or games (55 percent), bars or restaurants (51 percent) or even seeing movies in theaters (46 percent).

Not only do gym members feel positively about returning to the gym many feel ready and motivated to do so they look forward to enjoying the physical and mental benefits of working out at their gym again, from building strength and their immune system to releasing mood-boosting endorphins. Notably, exactly half (50 percent) of gym members express dissatisfaction with at-home fitness efforts and changes to their routine, primarily because those new routines are less challenging (54 percent), less consistent (53 percent) or just simply worse (51 percent) than their gym-going routines.

The study reveals a number of additional insights regarding how people feel about going to the gym amidst the pandemic, including:

"The data confirms the essential role health clubs play in promoting and maintaining the wellbeing of consumers," said Jay Ablondi, executive vice president for global products for IHRSA. "With 70 percent of members relying on their gyms to maintain their overall health, Americans are looking at getting back to, maintaining and even improving their exercise habits and noting nothing but confidence in their gyms to be safe, comfortable and clean. Clearly, there's no replacement."

The full results from "The COVID Era Fitness Consumer" IHRSA report study and report are available at IHRSA.org/the-covid-era-fitness-consumer.For additional details on the study and how the fitness industry is committed to keeping its members safe, healthyand moving, visit IHRSA.org.

*Online survey conducted by Kelton Global, a Material Company, to 1,171 people aged 18+ in the United States who currently have a gym membership, or recently canceled their gym membership due to COVID-19. The survey was conducted online during the period of August 24-28, 2020, and has a margin of error of +/- 2.9 percent.

National Study Reveals The Current Fitness Habits Of The American Gymgoer - PRNewswire

Impact of COVID-19 on Wireless Health and Fitness Devices Market Overview with Detailed Analysis, Competitive Landscape & Forecast To 2025 -...

Garmin's latest product is aiming to help esports athletes and gamers track their bodies during gaming.

Gaming is something that entertains people for hours, bringing us all sorts of emotions, from joy to stress. During times like these, our bodies tend to go through a surprising lot. That's why Garmin, known for its excellent smartwatches, is introducing a new smartwatch called the Instinct Esports Edition. This new edition is programmed specifically with esports athletes, streamers and gamers everywhere in mind.

To begin, the Instinct Esports Edition has everything that a normal smartwatch would. These include things like notifications if synced with a smartphone and GPS tracking. But the main focus of it is to help gamers monitor their health with a focus on competitive play.

How do they do it? The short answer is through body metrics tracking. This data is taken from monitoring your body's responses to both daily life as well as intense or more casual gaming experiences. The Instinct Esports Edition is equipped with a heart rate monitor that lets the wearer know what their heart rate is while at rest and how hard their heart is working during specific gaming moments. In addition, there is a sleep monitor that gives detailed reports about their sleep cycles. This gives the user precious data, especially considering many have late-night grind sessions!

The Instinct uses this data to evaluate variations in heart rate to track stress levels. Though games are fun, the competitive side of them makes people get invested, and in tense moments, quite stressed. Stress management, as we know, is key to staying on top of the competition. There's also a body battery energy monitor that takes all the info compiled about sleeping habits and daytime heart rate to help users know when to rest after a long day of the grind. With these metrics, wearers can figure out when to relax and keep the mental edge.

To use the tracking features during their games, users simply have to activate the esports activity on the watch. Then the watch will take note of all those data metrics outlined above. Once the user is done playing, they sync their activity to the Garmin Connect app, which stores all of their data to see how they react in gaming situations and long term trends.

Another neat feature of the Instinct Esports Edition is something called STR3AMUP! This PC software is for streamers that want to broadcast their metrics to their audience. With this program, streamers can show their audience things like their heart rate, stress and body battery. Besides just being an interesting thing to see, it'll help streamers and pros show viewers the physical and mental demands of competitive play.

Finally, there are 30+ apps that users have access to that are for the physical side of things. These are preloaded with activity profiles to help people keep fit, even if they have low physical activity lifestyles. In the days of COVID-19 and being stuck inside, these types of apps can be great for staying healthy.

Those interested in the Instinct Esports Edition smartwatch can buy one on Garmin's website for $299.99.
