Traveling? Staying home with the kids? Unable to afford a gym membership? No time to schlep across town? No problem: Fitness websites and apps are available wherever -- and whenever -- you are. For some users, they replace gyms and yoga studios altogether, and for others, they are a helpful complement.

Fitness instructor and personal trainer Yu Hannah Kim has always believed that fitness should be available to anyone. Now, with the launch of her new site, Yufit, she's making that dream a reality.

Yufit offers streaming videos for everything from cardio kickboxing and core burn workouts to yoga and stretching.

"I wanted to create something that people could use anywhere, anytime," Kim told TechNewsWorld. "I wanted to give people something that was inexpensive and easy to use."

Classes on the site run 30 or 60 minutes, and members can follow particular classes and interact with the instructor and fellow members through a news feed. Kim says that the site is particularly useful for people who aren't able to attend fitness classes at a gym.

"When they go on travel or on vacations, they find it difficult to keep up with their workouts," said Kim. "They can access Yufit anywhere they have an Internet connection. Some people use it instead of the gym, and others use it in addition to the gym."

Yoga for the Masses

For people who want all yoga, all the time, My Yoga Online gives access, for a monthly or yearly membership fee, to more than 1,000 videos in many different styles, including anusara, kundalini, power and vinyasa -- as well as pilates and meditation.

One key to the site's appeal, according to its CEO and cofounder Jason Jacobson, is the variety it offers.

"This replaces DVDs," Jacobson told TechNewsWorld. "Instead, it's many videos in one place -- and practice at home, while traveling, or at work."

For some users, it replaces yoga studios altogether, and for others it is a helpful complement to their studio practice.

"When we first launched, we thought we'd be competing with yoga studios," said Jacobson. "What we've found is that a lot of members look at this as a complement, a way to expand their horizons. This is a great way for people to expand into different styles of yoga, different teachers ... without leaving their home."

In addition to streaming videos, the company has an iOS/Android app called "My Yoga," which lets users access their favorite videos on the go. The site also features content such as articles about yoga and fitness, and it has a social component, allowing users to create profiles and interact with other users.

"It's making yoga available to more people and erasing the myth that yoga is a religious or isolated practice," explained Jacobson. "It's really making it open to the masses, especially people not in major cities who don't have access to quality yoga programs."

Getting Challenged

For those who want to set creative fitness goals for themselves, the recently launched Fleetly might be the way to go. The site and its companion iOS app allow users to participate in a variety of challenges, such as 100 workouts in 2012, 36,500 Push-ups in 2012, and a Winter 100 Miler. They track their progress, interact with friends, and use the service as motivation to achieve their fitness goals.

"Our mission is to make Fleetly the digital hub for fitness," explained Geoff Pitfield, Fleetly's founder, who was inspired to create Fleetly while training for his first triathalon. "By this I mean Fleetly is where people come to not only discover and track their progress, but also interact with others about their fitness through challenges, talk and content."

Fleetly works, in part, because of the fun factor, Pitfield said.

"We believe that providing a fun, immersive place where people can engage in a deep, meaningful way about their fitness -- and get encouragement and feedback on their progress -- provides great motivation," explained Pitfield. "[That's] essential to meeting their fitness goals -- whether that's training for an Ironman or just trying to get off the couch."

Fleetly's social component also keeps people motivated and engaged. When they're working out with their friends, they're more likely to want to keep doing it.

"We have a member from the Netherlands who wanted motivation to keep up his New Year's fitness resolution, so he created a challenge, and now over 6,000 people in the U.S. and abroad are participating," said Pitfield. "When you look at the chat stream, you see they are abuzz with all these people sharing their achievements, encouraging each other, giving and receiving advice, and having a good time with it. When people are this engaged with their fitness, they are motivated to stay on track."

Fitness to Go: Anywhere, Anytime Exercise Classes

When ticking off the benefits of physical activity, few of us would include intercellular housecleaning. But a new study suggests that the ability of exercise to speed the removal of garbage from inside our body’s cells may be one of its most valuable, if least visible, effects.

In the new research, which was published last month in Nature, scientists at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas gathered two groups of mice. One set was normal, with a finely tuned cellular scrubbing system. The other had been bred to have a blunted cleaning system.

It’s long been known that cells accumulate flotsam from the wear and tear of everyday living. Broken or misshapen proteins, shreds of cellular membranes, invasive viruses or bacteria, and worn-out, broken-down cellular components, like aged mitochondria, the tiny organelles within cells that produce energy, form a kind of trash heap inside the cell.

In most instances, cells diligently sweep away this debris. They even recycle it for fuel. Through a process with the expressive name of autophagy, or “self-eating,” cells create specialized membranes that engulf junk in the cell’s cytoplasm and carry it to a part of the cell known as the lysosome, where the trash is broken apart and then burned by the cell for energy.

Without this efficient system, cells could become choked with trash and malfunction or die. In recent years, some scientists have begun to suspect that faulty autophagy mechanisms contribute to the development of a range of diseases, including diabetes, muscular dystrophy, Alzheimer’s and cancer. The slowing of autophagy as we reach middle age is also believed to play a role in aging.

Most metabolism researchers think that the process evolved in response to the stress of starvation; cells would round up and consume superfluous bits of themselves to keep the rest of the cell alive. In petri dishes, the rate of autophagy increases when cells are starved or otherwise placed under physiological stress.

Exercise, of course, is physiological stress. But until recently, few researchers had thought to ask whether exercise might somehow affect the amount of autophagy within cells and, if so, whether that mattered to the body as a whole.

“Autophagy affects metabolism and has wide-ranging health-related benefits in the body, and so does exercise,” says Dr. Beth Levine, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator at U.T. Southwestern. “There seemed to be considerable overlap, in fact, between the health-related benefits of exercise and those of autophagy,” but it wasn’t clear how the two interacted, she says.

So she and her colleagues had lab mice run. The animals first had been medically treated so that the membranes that engulf debris inside their cells would glow, revealing themselves to the researchers. After just 30 minutes of running, the mice had significantly more membranes in cells throughout their bodies, the researchers found, meaning they were undergoing accelerated autophagy.

That finding, however, didn’t explain what the augmented cellular cleaning meant for the well-being of the mice, so the researchers developed a new strain of mouse that showed normal autophagy levels in most instances, but could not increase its cellular self-eating in response to stress. Autophagy levels would stubbornly remain the same, even if the animals were starved or vigorously exercised.

Then the researchers had these mice run, alongside a control group of normal animals. The autophagy-resistant mice quickly grew fatigued. Their muscles seemed incapable of drawing sugar from the blood as the muscles of the normal mice did.

More striking, when Dr. Levine stuffed both groups of animals with high-fat kibble for several weeks until they developed a rodent version of diabetes, the normal mice subsequently reversed the condition by running, even as they continued on the fatty diet. The autophagy-resistant animals did not. After weeks of running, they remained diabetic. Their cells could not absorb blood sugar normally. They also had higher levels of cholesterol in their blood than the other mice. Exercise had not made them healthier.

In other words, Dr. Levine and her colleagues concluded, an increase in autophagy, prompted by exercise, seems to be a critical step in achieving the health benefits of exercise.

The finding is “extremely exciting,” says Zhen Yan, the director of the Center for Skeletal Muscle Research at the University of Virginia, who is also studying autophagy and exercise. The study, Dr. Yan says, “improves our understanding of how exercise has salutary impacts on health.”

The implications of Dr. Levine’s results are, in fact, broad. It’s possible that people who don’t respond as robustly to aerobic exercise as their training partners may have sputtering or inadequate autophagy systems, although that idea is speculative. “It’s very difficult to study autophagy in humans,” Dr. Levine says. Still, it’s possible that at some point, autophagy-prompting drugs or specialized exercise programs might help everyone to fully benefit from exercise.

In the meantime, the study underscores, again, the importance of staying active. Both the control mice and the genetically modified group had “normal background levels of autophagy” during everyday circumstances, Dr. Levine points out. But this baseline level of cellular housecleaning wasn’t enough to protect them from developing diabetes in the face of a poor diet. Only when the control animals ran and pumped up their intercellular trash collection did they regain their health.

“I never worked out consistently before,” Dr. Levine says. But now, having witnessed how exercise helped scour the cells of the running mice, she owns a treadmill.

Washington, Jan 29 (ANI): Moderate exercise minimizes
supervisors' abusive behaviour towards their
subordinates, a new study has
suggested.

The work, by James Burton from Northern Illinois
University in the US and his team, shows that stressed
supervisors, struggling with time pressures, vent their
frustrations on their employees less when they get regular,
moderate
exercise.

Research shows that when a supervisor experiences workplace stress, his
or her subordinates feel they bear the brunt of that
frustration.

Burton and his team's study is the first to examine how
exercise can buffer the relationship between supervisor stress
and employee perceptions of abusive supervision or hostile
behaviour towards them.

A total of 98 MBA students from two universities in the
Midwestern United States and their 98 supervisors completed
questionnaires. Students rated their perceptions of how abusive
their current supervisor.

Supervisors answered questions about how often they exercised
and about their workplace stress, for example "working my
current job leaves me little time for other activities" or "I
have too much work and too little time to do it in".

The researchers found that, as expected, when supervisors were
stressed, their subordinates felt more victimized. However,
analyses also showed that when supervisors experienced stress,
but engaged in exercise, their subordinates reported lower
levels of abusive supervision.

Interestingly, only moderate levels of exercise were necessary
to minimize abusive supervision, such as one to two days of
exercise per week, and the type of exercise seemed to make
little difference.

"It appears that the simple act of exercising minimizes the
negative effects of supervisor workplace stress on
subordinates. Wellness programs, often inclusive of exercise
components, have been advocated to control workplace stress for
years. This study adds support to their specific relevancy in
smoothing supervisor-subordinate relationships," the
researchers said.

The study has been published in Springer's Journal of Business
and Psychology. (ANI)
