Eating For Energy Review - Is Yuri Elkaim Program Good? - Video

I'm a big fan of the Withings line of personal health devices -- over the years, I've purchased one of their Wi-Fi Body Scales and a Blood Pressure Monitor. The devices are great, and it's nice (and sometimes frustrating) to see how your health is doing over time. But the stats that were provided did little to motivate me to really exercise more, eat less, and even care about taking my blood pressure daily. The completely new Withings Health Companion app (free) is designed to not only monitor your health, but motivate you to do something about it.

Unlike the previous WiScale app, which just tracked weight and BP and is the tool with which you take your blood pressure, the Withings Health Companion app lets you set goals and reminders. Upon launching the app, you see a "butterfly" with four wings -- one cyan, one orange, one magenta, and one green. Each wing is associated with a different health factor -- sleep, activity, heart, and weight. The idea is that you should try to eventually "fill" each wing with color, indicating that you're managing sleep, activity, your heart health, and your weight.

To do this, the Withings Health Companion tries to "turn long-term goals into small achievable targets, and monitor your weekly progress toward your goals." In my personal case, I am able to monitor my heart health (BP and heart rate) using the Withings Blood Pressure Monitor and add my weight to the app every day using the Wi-Fi Body Scale. For capturing activity, I have now set up RunKeeper to report my activities to the app. I wish that there was a way to send info from my FitBit, which I wear constantly, to the app.

The last item, sleep, requires input from other devices made by BodyMedia and Zeo. Once again, I'd prefer to have my sleep information sent to the Withings Health Companion app from the FitBit, which also tracks that info. There doesn't appear to be a way of adding my nightly sleep information to the app manually, which is somewhat irritating. Since I'm not exactly thrilled about having to spend a minimum of US$149 for yet another monitoring device, I'm hoping that FitBit and Withings will work out a way for the FitBit data to be used by the Health Companion.

Of course, I could use the FitBit website to monitor all of this, since I could get activity readings and sleep information from the FitBit and weight data transferred from the Withings scale, but there's no way to track blood pressure. Sigh -- it's like these companies all want to get you tied into their particular ecosystem and don't want to make it easy for you to choose the combination of apps and devices to track your health.

At this point, one of the "wings" of the butterfly will always be withered, since this app won't let me add my sleep information. I do, however, like the way that the app displays all pertinent health information on one screen and reminds me to take readings or to exercise.

Do you have a favorite app or mobile website for tracking your health and personal fitness? Tell us about it in the comments.

The annual 10TV Health & Fitness Expo is loaded with fitspiration. A kickboxing class? Yes. Free screenings for diabetes and high cholesterol? Yeah, theyve got that, too. A celebrity doctor who has helped many a lost, unhealthy celebrity? Step right up.

The expo, which is free to attend, features more than 100 exhibitor booths full of freebies and information covering a range of wellness topics from mental health to chiropractic care, vitamin supplements to prevention of overeating.

But the big draws are the three demonstration stages. Throughout Saturday and Sunday, local and national experts take the stages to talk about fitness, healthy cooking and weight loss. Here are four we think you should hit up.

A team of Vacaville citizens, led by fitness enthusiasts and instructors, are hosting a free rally on Saturday for residents as part of a countywide effort to encourage the city toward fitness and health.

Starting at 9 a.m., the event kicks off in the center of downtown Vacaville during the Farmers Market, in the parking lot of Gold's Gym. The rally will feature a Zumba workshop with a community of instructors, as well as an expo with more than 20 local fitness and health related businesses.

"Vacaville is a wonderful place to live, work and play," said organizer and Team Vacaville captain, Lisa Holdener. "And there is nothing more important than setting a healthy example for our children, by sharing fitness with our families and the community."

The rally is also an opportunity to register for the SoFitCity (Walk-Run-Party) event, a competition among the seven cities of Solano for the most finishers, and thereby the title and trophy for "most fit."

The race event supports the Solano County Library Foundation and the joint mission with the Solano Mall and SolanoFit Magazine to develop fit minds and fit bodies for a fit future. Residents can register now at http://www.SoFitCity.com/Vacaville.

Men's Health: tops the men's paid-for lifestyle sector with a circulation of 216,336

The two free distribution titles, Shortlist and Sport, continue to power ahead in terms of sheer numbers, at 529,010 and 305,676 copies a week respectively, in the six months to the end of June 2012.

The top paid-for title in the sector continues to be Hearst Rodale's Men's Health, with a circulation of 216,336 (down 2.2% on the period), indicating consumers' love of specialist fitness titles is here to stay and that they are now mainstream titles.

Alun Williams, group publishing director of Men's Health, said; "We are not a specialist health title. We have a lot more to offer. We have travel, sport and other content. We are a healthy lifestyle title."

Dennis' rival Men's Fitness is a smaller title, but also performed well in the period, up 5.6% to 65,201.

Simon Caney, the editor of Sport magazine, said: "In Sport, we don't do much fitness because Men's Health is doing so well, and we don't want it to be just a token thing."

Zoo and Nuts, meanwhile, continue to suffer a torrid time.

Nuts, which only four years ago was selling more than 230,00 a week, now has a circulation of just 90,314 a week, down more than 20% on the year.

While Nuts' publishers will point to the brand's digital offshoots, they must be concerned about the long-term survival of the printed title.

Nuts publisher Jo Smalley, said: "Print does play a significant part of our overall reach, but it's not the whole Nuts brand story."
