As in just about every area of the health and fitness market, technology is increasingly infiltrating yoga, with startups and investors pushing to capitalize on the $80 billion market. Last year, Germany-based Asana Rebel raised more than $17 million from notable backers that include Greycroft to grow its virtual yoga platform, while New Yorks Mirror has raised sizable funding rounds for a connected mirror that delivers virtual fitness classes, such as yoga and Pilates.

Zenia recently entered the fray with a mobile app that leverages machine learning, computer vision, and motion tracking with the promise of helping improve your yoga poses. The company calls it the worlds first AI-powered yoga assistant, and plans to expand its technology to cover all areas of health and fitness.

Zenia was officially founded out of Belarus in May of this year by software engineer Alexey Kurov, and the company has secured an undisclosed investment from such notable backers as Misha Lyalin, CEO and chair of Russia-based game developer Zeptolab, and Bulba Ventures, a Belarusian venture capital (VC) firm that invests in AI startups.

Bulba Ventures is the investment vehicle of Yury Melnichek, a serial entrepreneur who cofounded mobile mapping service Maps.me and sold it to Russian tech titan Mail.ru in 2014. He was also a founding investor in Belarus-based computer vision company AiMatter, which created a popular funky photo-effects app known as Fabby. AiMatter was acquired by Google in 2017.

As an aside, Eastern Europe has been a hotbed of AI activity in recent years, withFacebook acquiring video selfie app startup Masquerade, which is also based in Belarus. And Russias Prisma gained widespread attention for its computer vision-powered art photo app, which was among the most downloaded apps globally for a while.

Zenia quietly launched its first app on iPhone a couple of weeks ago, and VentureBeat caught up with Kurov to see how it works and where the company will go from here.

After installing the app and creating an account, you can place your phone with the front-facing camera angled toward the space where youll be doing yoga. At launch, Zenia features four courses for beginner and intermediate levels and 14 guided practice sessions to build strength and improve flexibility.

Zenia can recognize 16 joints across the body, and a built-in voice assistant provides feedback on your yoga practice. The software also adapts to each users pace, and it monitors progress over time to offer metric-based feedback.

In an age when data privacy violations are rarely out of the news, Zenia is quick to note that it uses edge computing and that all of its processing takes places on the users phone.

Convolutional neural networks are at the core of our technology, Kurov said. We use an hourglass-inspired architecture that weve optimized to run on mobile devices.

According to Kurov, the company collected more than 200,000 yoga images as part of its training data and developed its own custom labeling tool for faster and more precise annotation. The training data set included both correct and incorrect asanas (yoga postures) so that it can better identify when a student is doing something wrong. Professional instructors were also used in the training process.

We worked with certified yoga teachers to define the parameters that could help machines to identify the level of execution of asanas, Kurov added.

Perhaps another major selling point for Zenia is its straightforward business model, which is based on hard cash rather than user data. The first month is free, but after that it costs $15 per month or $100 for the year.

Zenia is positioned at an interesting intersection in technology trends. There has been a marked increase in AI-powered features across the smartphone realm, tackling everything from categorizing photos to recommending new apps. And apps and services designed to help people work out from home have also been on the rise. Aside from Asana Rebel and Mirror, which we highlighted earlier, New York-based Peloton has raised bucketloads of investor cash for connected bikes that deliver virtual fitness classes and went public a few months ago.

While its too early to say whether Zenia will succeed, it has the advantages of entering a proven money-spinning industry and bypassing the need for human yoga instructors. But the bigger picture is perhaps whats most interesting here, as the underlying technology will likely be reapplied to other domains yoga just happens to be the first use case.

Kurov envisages a time when its platform could be used to analyze a runners posture, a weightlifters stance, a tennis players serve, and more.

Above: How Zenia could be used in the future

Some members of Zenias founding team also have backgrounds in physiotherapy, which hints at potential future applications in the medical sphere.

Above: Zenia could be used as a physiotherapy tool

Although Zenia works independent of human instructors for now, Kurov said that fitness or yoga instructors will in future be able to use it as a remote tracking tool to chart their students progress.

We envision Zenia becoming a platform that connects people who want to lead a mindful, healthy lifestyle, Kurov said. The app aims to go beyond the scope of regular training and become a personal assistant who motivates [you] to practice constantly.

In case you missed it, oil is no longer the worlds most valuable resource. According to The Economist, data is the new commodity fuelling growth and change across all industries. The health and fitness industry is one example that has been bombarded with enormous amounts of data, collected and uploaded in a constant stream from multiple sources.

Mobile apps, wearable technology, treadmills, and gym turnstiles all collect valuable data on consumer habits and preferences that can bring about tremendous change to the health and fitness industry. But all this data is useless unless it is mined and refined to identify trends, opportunities, and new information. To do so will take years, and weve only just started looking through the data to gather insights.

Heres how were seeing data mining start to impact the health and fitness industry.

Like all businesses, gyms and health clubs are also starting to benefit from data collection and mining. Customer feedback is just one way in which data can be used to improve revenue streams and increase the profitability of a fitness business. Mining customer feedback can present new opportunities for growth for a fitness institution by better understanding the behavior and lifestyle of its members.

In one real-life example, a fitness club owner surveyed his customers on their commuting habits to and from the gym. With this new information, he was able to better understand their availabilities and improved attendance to classes by amending the schedule. Having a deeper understanding of gym members and their behavior can help owners to tailor their programs and increase profitability.

Data mining can also help those in the fitness industry to increase membership. Leisure management systems keep a valuable record of data, from check-ins, classes attended, what time of day is most popular, how often members use the gym, and any purchases they choose to make. With this information, gym owners can segment their members and create separate advertising and marketing campaigns to increase attendance and generate more membership.

For example, with this data, a gym owner can separate those who frequently attend the gym from those who do not. Those who dont check-in often can be sent 2-for-1 vouchers to encourage attendance. Data mining can also help track consumer behavior to identify new opportunities for revenue streams beyond the core business objective. For example, a gym may choose to sell protein bars or breakfast smoothies if it is found that most people attend early in the morning and leave around breakfast time.

Data collected by leisure management systems can also help a gym to stay more profitable by illuminating when to make changes to fitness programming, staffing, retail products, and so on.

Wearable technology is constantly gathering hundreds of terabytes of information that presents an enormous amount of value to the health and fitness industry. Wearables like the Fitbit track everything from calories burned, steps taken, resting heart rate, sleep, BMI, blood pressure, and more. Theres never been such a large collection of data on users health and fitness, and that data has largely been sitting untouched until now.

Researchers and medical authorities have started mining through this immense data to find trends in an attempt to better understand the factors behind disease and health issues. Thanks to the constant stream being uploaded through fitness trackers, this is a world-first in understanding the minuscule daily habits that may factor in causing illness.

Wearables are also affecting health care on a personal level by giving consumers access to a timeline of their own health data. Those with health issues are able to reflect on a record of past health data, helping determine the causes of their health problems or providing valuable information to share with medical professionals.

Data mining leaves no stone unturned, trawling through valuable statistics to present new insights, trends, and opportunities for growth. With this valuable new commodity infiltrating across all industries, were going to see changes across all aspects of everyday life.

When it comes to the health and fitness industry, the projection is that data mining will increase personalization, insight into individual health and habits, and profitability for gym owners and businesses. There will be more merging of products and service offerings, and the lines between health and fitness will be increasingly blurred. Its still too early to predict exactly how the changes will unfold, but one thing remains certain, everything is changing in the new world of data that we live in.

A new change to the Supplemental Nutrition Program will affect many Quad-Citians.

On Wednesday, the Trump administration formalized a change that would limit states' ability to exempt work-eligible adults from needing to maintain steady employment to receive benefits.

The change, one of three that are set to come to SNAP, would limit states from issuing waivers unless a resident is in a city or county where the unemployment rate of 6% or higher. Those waivers would be good for one year and must be approved by the governor.

We want to encourage people by giving them a helping hand, but not an infinitely giving hand, U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said Wednesday.

In Scott County, 11,912 households use some sort of food assistance according to data from the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services. That translates to 24,431 individuals, an allotment of $2,889,508.

According to Iowa Workforce Development data, Scott County had an unemployment rate of 3.3% in 2018.

With some expats returning home for the festive period, its easy to lose focus and slip out of your training schedule.

Fitness routines are usually set aside during the second half of December, but why fall into this trap when you can spend a small part of the day doing something that will make you feel mentally sharper.

December is a great time to get a step ahead of the competition and keep yourself in good physical condition.

Heres our top tips to help you have a healthier end to the year.

EATING AFTER A NIGHT OUT

Cook your own food before leaving the house and try not to indulge on pizza or burgers at the end of a night out.

If you feel hungry then go for a light option that is easy to digest (ex: piece of toast or a banana).

PUT TOGETHER A FOOD PLAN

Enjoy your food but cut down on the bad stuff that will make you feel sluggish.

To save you feasting on large amounts of chocolate and crisps at various Christmas parties around the city, put together a simple food plan to keep you focused.

SHORT AND SHARP EXERCISE

If you cant get to a gym then try to include a 45 minute walk to keep the brain and heart healthy. There is no excuse for not spending a small part of your day doing some form of exercise.

BUY VITAMINS

With the weather changing, its easy to pick up the flu or a cold.

Purchase some vitamins from the shop as they will ensure your body is getting sufficient nutrients.

Pharmaton is the best brand and will help your body function optimally.

DRINK LOTS OF WATER

Hydration is essential and can prevent fluid loss and a drop in your bodys performance.

Start and finish your day by drinking 500ml of water and youll feel more energetic.

STAY ACTIVE

If you have days off over December dont sit around the house all day and be unproductive.

There are plenty of nice walks around Dubai and Abu Dhabi so bring a friend and get out and explore.

TAKE UP A NEW ACTIVITY

If youre bored of doing the same old thing, then try to take up a new activity during December to help keep your mind active and your body moving.

Seven top health and fitness tips in the lead up to Christmas 2019 - Sport360

Ross Moriarty is striving to be fit for the Dragons festive derbies after the virus he picked up at the World Cup caused him to drop around a stone in weight.

The Dragons are unable to give a return-to-play date for their 41-cap back rower, who played in all seven of Wales World Cup matches in Japan but has suffered badly with illness since.

He contracted a viral infection after grazing his forehead during a training session in the Far East and subsequently suffered a chest infection, a cold, loss of appetite and significant weight loss.

So serious was the hard-hitting No. 8 or blindside flankers condition that he had to see a specialist to find out what was going on.

Whether he returns over Christmas will depend on how quickly he is restored to good health and fitness and puts weight back on.

That is his aim and it is understood he is heading in the right direction.

But the Dragons won't use him until he's 100 percent right.

Director of rugby Dean Ryan told the RugbyPass website: Ross has had a viral infection and we are not going to rush him back or give a date when he is going to play, because we want to make sure Ross has got over this infection.

He lost weight during this period and its important to ensure that he is fully recovered before we think about getting him back.

Wayne Pivac will doubtless stay in touch, with fitness issues starting to pile up for Wales in the back row ahead of the Six Nations. Taulupe Faletau still hasnt returned from the collarbone injury that ruled him out of the World Cup, nor has Ellis Jenkins from his long-term knee problem.

Josh Navidi remains off limits from the hamstring problem he suffered in the World Cup quarter-final against France, while Scarlets James Davies has a back issue and Aaron Shingler is recovering from a damaged knee.

Throw in Moriartys health problems and the picture becomes concerning for Pivac.

The 25-year-old former Gloucester player is an asset because of his versatility and physicality, allied to his competitive spirit.
