ADIDAS Runners Captain ANKITA GAUR tells MUSBA HASHMI her experience of participating in marathons during pregnancy, how safe it is and her association with Hi-Energy Challenge

What do you expect from a five-month pregnant lady? Definitely not running marathons. Meet Ankita Gaur, a Bengaluru-based engineer, who is redefining the terms of pregnancy.

From running a 10K marathon in December last year to now becoming a part of ADIDAS Hi-Energy Challenge with a seven-month pregnancy, running comes naturally to Gaur. Running is not a big deal. It comes naturally to everyone, one just have to explore it, she says.

Not that Gaur was always interested in running. Swimming was her first love. My sister and I were always encouraged by our parents to take part in sports. I was initially into swimming. My sister was district level athlete, but I was never into running. It happened nine years back when my friend, who is now my husband, introduced me to long-distance running. He used to guide me as I was clueless about the sport. I was into a corporate job and hence, wanted to live a healthy life without having to invest too much time or money. That is when I thought of taking running seriously because it involved no expensive equipments and was easy. And like I mentioned before, it comes naturally to everyone. If you can walk, you can run too, she says.

It was in 2014 when Gaur ran her first race in Bangalore and finished podium that triggered her love for running. It was like a motivation for me. I have been running since then and theres no looking back, she says.

Running during pregnancy, contrary to the popular beliefs, she says, is healthy. If you have been a runner all your life, then running during pregnancy is healthy for you. I have been seeing my friends abroad who were runners and delivered healthy children. So, before participating in TCS World 10K Bengaluru, I took my doctors advice and she said if I am doing something for 10 years, I shouldnt stop it because it is like a part of my life. All one has to do is to cut it down or bring it down to a point where you are comfortable with it. A lot of doctors now suggest that pregnant women should do yoga or some kind of exercise because it is healthy for the child, Gaur tells you.

She adds that the only thing one has to keep in mind is to not be competitive. I told myself dont see it as a competition instead see it as a part of your daily routine. I was a marathon runner so I can easily run 42 km, but now keeping in mind my body, I have cut it short to 5 km. Also, I take breaks in between and start walking to not push myself beyond a certain point, she tells you.

It took Rai some time to convince her family and friends that running wont cause her any harm. My mother was apprehensive about it initially and told me that it was not a good option. My in-laws were also not sure about it. There were people on social media who asked me why I am not resting it out. But I explained to them that it was safe and I have been doing it under my doctors supervision. It took some time to finally make them understand that it was safe and was a part of my fitness routine. But the good thing was I got so many messages from women who were inspired and they told me that they will try to be fit as well, she tells you.

Ask Gaur, how she tide over days when she doesnt want to run even a single mile and she is quick to answer my friends convince me to come. There are days when I just dont have the motivation to go for a run, but here comes the role of my friends from the running club. They insist that I should join them for a while and once I do, I start enjoying it. Also, when you make friends you start looking forward to meeting them. That also helps, Gaur, who is given the title of ADIDAS Runners Captain, explains.

She tells you that they were the first people to start a run club in Bangalore in 2015. It was not ADIDAS Runners back then. We just started a club where people would join us for a run and slowly the community grew. In 2016, I was officially given the title of Captain, she tells you.

The Hi-Energy Challenge, she says, is about a virtual run where runners from all around the world can join and participate. The challenge is on till February 13, 2021. It requires people to walk or run for 120 minutes over the course of 14 days. If you are successfully completing this, then for every minute you run, ADIDAS India will donate `1 product to the young amateur athletes. This is our way of helping the talent of India in achieving their goals and making the country proud, Gaur, who has also participated in over five international marathons such as Berlin (three times), Boston and New York, tells you. For the remaining days of her pregnancy, Gaur plans to cut the distance to less than 5 km and focus more on walking instead of running and testing her will power.

RUN INTO FITNESS - Daily Pioneer

Google male CrossFit instructor, and you might get an idea of what Austin Begiebing looks like: tall and fit, sporting some stubble and some joggers. Its obvious he prepared to become a fitness instructor for a while before becoming one. What he wasnt prepared for like many others in his trade was teaching fitness during a pandemic.

But under the right circumstances, Begiebing like many other fitness center owners thinks he can operate indoors safely. This is despite directives from the state and county saying he cant.

If were going to lock down for a few months to eradicate this virus to prepare for the surge thats going to come, Im all for it, Begiebing said. But the longer it drags on, we have to look at risk versus reward.

Adding to the confusion: the county recently lifted its stay-at-home order after it reported increased ICU capacity at its local hospitals. The move has led to a patchwork layout of opened and closed businesses across county lines. While the shift to the purple tier has been welcome news for dozens of local businesses, indoor fitness centers remain excluded, and in the dark.

Governor Gavin Newsom is facing increased scrutiny after his many directives aimed at fighting the COVID-19 pandemic have been fraught with mixed messages and poor communication. Conflicting data has led to mass confusion and a massive backlog in vaccine distribution.

This has all led in part to a growing movement calling on Newsom to loosen restrictions on indoor fitness activities. Currently, the state and county have mandated that gyms and fitness centers move their operations outdoors.

Buying an adequate tent, faux grass mats, and other outdoor equipment has cost Begiebing over $1,500. Thats already on top of paying rent while less revenue comes in, federal aid notwithstanding.

Things were looking up in the summer of 2020, however: Santa Clara County gyms were finally given the OK to reopen in July. But just a day later, the state reversed course with its reopening efforts in response to a soaring COVID case count, which meant CrossFit Milpitas had to close yet again.

Gov. Gavin Newsom. Source: Los Angeles Times.

This took the wind out of our sails, Begiebing said. I was burnt out emotionally, spiritually just drained.

County leaders have pointed to the regions concerning COVID-19 numbers to justify mandating outdoor-only activities for nonessential businesses, saying Santa Clara County is experiencing very high rates of COVID-19 transmission, per a January 25 statement from County Health Officer Sara Cody.

As long as Santa Clara County remains in the Purple Tier of the States Blueprint, gyms and fitness facilities cannot operate indoors, a county spokesperson said in a statement.

But look closer, says former United States Surgeon General Richard Carmona, and fitness centers might not be the superspreader businesses most states believe they are.

California and Oregon are currently the only states that have not lifted their restrictions on indoor fitness centers. The 48 other states have mostly reopened indoor gyms, with many states mandating social distancing in them.

The science and data have demonstrated that indoor fitness can reopen safely and that the industry is of critical importance of mental and physical health, Carmona stated in his California State Fitness Plan.

Smash Gyms outdoor setup. Photo courtesy Rudy Ott.

But its data, Rudy Ott of Smash Gyms said, that has fallen on deaf ears.

I know we can be safe. We were saying this to the state and county since April, Ott said. Especially gyms like CrossFit gyms, martial arts gyms, and fitness centers like Smash that are group-instructor led. We have control over the environment.

With less equipment and clients than a traditional gym, fitness centers like Smash and CrossFit Milpitas say its unfair theyve been grouped with all fitness centers.

Rudy Ott, owner of Smash Gyms Milpitas. Photo courtesy Rudy Ott.

While indoor fitness centers still remain closed, both Ott and Begiebing have pledged to do whatever they can to keep their customers coming back. Thats if their reserve funds and mental health allow them to do so. For Begiebing, fitness is all hes ever known. And doing it in person, he said, forges a bond with clients that cant be replicated virtually.

If this continues, I might shift to an all-outdoor venue. Or buy some GameStop stock, he joked.

Local fitness centers struggle with COVID regulations - The Milpitas Beat

The response to the first-ever Wall Street Journal Fitness Challenge has been enthusiastic. Since its Jan. 19 launch, tens of thousands of readers have signed up for the six-week program. Havent signed up yet? You can join here.

A number of readers wrote in to ask if we could review the basics of the program. Here they are in a nutshell:

After signing up, you receive a welcome newsletter asking you to test in by seeing how many steps you can take up and down in 20 seconds, leading with your right foot and then your left foot. Up, up, down, down counts as one step. For an idea on what it should look like, check out this video.

Arnie Kander, the NBA sports performance coach who developed the workout, suggests using a step around 7 inches in height. One reader wrote in saying the stairs in her home are 8 inches high, too high for her knees. Does this mean I have to invest in a step platform? she asks.

Seven inches is what Mr. Kander suggests for a baseline height, but if that feels challenging, go lower. Anything that raises you off the ground and is stable will work, including a sidewalk curb or a low step stool. A lower height might skew your step count compared with other participants, but this program is about improving your movement patterns more than trying to beat other step counts.

Liams List Feb. 5: Guide To Fitness, Food, Fun, Staying Connected While Social Distancing - CBS San Francisco

Vets reached out to FitOps Foundation for social support, guidance, and recommendations for referral to mental health providers.

An organization for veterans partnered with an online coaching platform that allows vets who are now fitness trainers to connect to clients virtually and to monetize their coaching platform during this unstable economic time.

FitOpsFoundation is now working with Verb, an accountability platform that, through machine learning and AI, helps people cope with everyday life.

The clients are connected to coaches that publish physical, mental and emotional support programming to provide a holistic approach to fitness.

Currently there are over two dozen FitOps graduates coaching on the Verb platform.

Mason McGuff, FitOps graduate and CVFO (Certified Veteran Fitness Operative), said,Verb has given me a platform to continue my personal training during these difficult times and generate income, in a safe, remote, and effective manner. Im grateful to FitOps Foundation for continually looking for ways to support their graduates, and finding innovative solutions."

The partnership will be sustainable as long as there are veterans graduating the FitOps program. Verb has committed to hosting every FitOps graduate, at no cost, on itsplatform.

The generated revenue, which is owned completely by the graduate, depends on the amount of time and commitment made to the platform. Coaches range from earninga few hundred dollars a month to the top coaches on Verb making over $15,000.

FitOps goal of helping veterans find purpose through fitness aligns perfectly with Verbs mission, and demonstrates just how powerful fitness and wellness can be, said Vincent Miceli, Founder and CEO of Verb. For the 200K+ veterans who leave the military each year, the path forward can be daunting and uncertain. Our accountability platform provides these American heroes a way to earn a meaningful income, while working remotely and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Verb coaches can also earn their own revenue, by up-selling their own personal programs and services and keeping 100% of the profit. Were proud to work with FitOps to give flexible, meaningful opportunities to veterans.

As FitOpsadapted to the pandemic, it was important for the organization to give graduates a tool to succeed and hold themselves responsible.

FitOpsis a nonprofitall-expense paid training camp that uses the power ofwellness to transform the lives of veterans, giving them hope and purpose after serving America.

Participants graduate with a personal-training certification, business management skillsand a lifelong support network and community.

John Martin, director of aftercare at FitOps, said,"Our findings suggest veterans who had pre-existing mental health difficulties prior to theoutbreak of COVID-19 may be at increased risk of experiencing common mental disorders as a result of thepandemic. Intervening to improve levels of social support and offering practical guidanceto better manage any additional stressors relating to the pandemic may provide strategiesto help reduce the burden of mental health symptoms. Our FitOps graduates access multiple weekly Zoom check-ins, individual support calls, and network with their brothers and sisters in arms to help each other as we all learn to live with this pandemic.

Many vets have found tremendous comfort in knowing their fellowFitOps graduates and staff are at the ready to assist them as they all navigate theseunprecedented times.

Coaches range from a few hundred dollars a month in their pocket to the top coaches on Verb making over $15,000. (Courtesy, FitOps)

Matt Hesse, founder ofFitOps Foundation, said,"What many people experience today during the pandemic is how vets feel every day. Many civilians aregoing through a transition creating uncertainty, insecurity and fear of what the future may hold.As we come out of this as a country, my hope is that those whove experienced the same kind of transitional struggle have a betterunderstanding of the challenges veterans face, more empathy, and create solutions to solve it like we have at FitOps."

Group teams up with online platform to help fitness trainers who are veterans monetize virtual coaching - Fox Business

Well, that patient was a load! Maybe if theyd do something other than sit around eating fast food, it wouldnt be so bad!

I cringe every time I hear this from an EMS provider, which is more often than Id like. I bite my lip so I dont say, Have you looked in the mirror? Sadly, unless things change, who do they think will be that load on the litter in a few years?

If youre new to EMS, or even if youre not, you will quickly learn providers are expected to be in the very best of health, physically, emotionally, and socially. The public does not care if you dont feel well or are tired; when they call 9-1-1, you are their only hope and help, so you want to make sure you are healthy enough to handle that call.

I have heard many excuses:

I work 12-, 16-, 24-hour shiftswhen am I supposed to work out?

I need to spend time with my family.

Im too tired to exercise.

Gyms arent open when Im done with work.

Im thin, I dont need to exercise.

If the EMS agency you work for does not have a wellness program, ask it to consider a wellness and fitness plan for its providers. Wellness plans can help employees manage stress, remain engaged, and feel cared for by their employers. They may mitigate depression, could help reduce the risk of injury while working, and even improve overall health! A simple fitness plan could include a health risk assessment upon hire and annually. The agency could supply equipment, such as free weights, cardio equipment, mats, and medicine balls and allow its crews to exercise while on duty.

Often providers may think they are too tired to exercise, but even a simple brisk walk can add energy and produce healthy benefits. Find ways to involve families, too; workouts do not have to be at a gym. Bike rides, hiking, swimming, and playing active games like tag, baseball, or throwing a Frisbee will make everyone feel better and give you invaluable family time making memories together.

If you still feel like you can only get a good workout at a gym, simply go on your day offyou owe it to yourself to stay healthy. There is a common misconception just because a person is thin, they dont have to exercise. According to Everyday Health, not only does your heart benefit, but exercise can reduce stress and anxiety as well as increasing bone density. Plus it may help you sleep better.

Along with fitness plans, agencies should consider offering help with nutrition. Many times people look for a quick fix by following the latest diet craze, which could be harmful. Significant weight gain doesnt happen overnight or in a few weeks, so you cant expect to lose that weight in that time frame or maintain what you lose. Agencies could offer classes, provide healthy snacks in the vending area, have a wellness board that includes healthy recipes, encourage a healthy recipe exchange with samples, or even plan healthy potluck lunches. Some agencies sponsor weight loss and fitness challenges.

Another aspect of a wellness program should include smoking cessation. Some providers rely on tobacco to relieve stress. Companies can offer smoking-cessation support groups, reinforce the benefits of quitting, pay for medications needed to quit, or even offer a monetary incentives. According to a study by the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and Wharton School, employees who were financially compensated to quit were three times more successful than others who were not.

Lets talk about stress: Dealing with the things we do every day, we are bound to find some stress in our lives. Whether its the last call you just cleared, your boss giving you a hassle, your coworker talking nonstop, even family who dont understand why we arent home by 6:30 when our shift ended at 6. All of these could lead to physical problems like high blood pressure, stomach issues, eating disorders, mental health conditions like depression, and sleep deprivation. Since our work schedules are very different from the common 85 job, it is extremely important we get our rest. Agencies should also offer services that help deal with these issues as well.

As EMS providers we see the effects of poor physical fitness, bad nutrition, stress, and smoking. We should be role models to the people we serve. Being unhealthy isnt fair to your patients, your coworkers, and your family, and it is really unfair to you. In EMS we are taught to care for ourselves first, then our crews. Isnt it about time that happens?

Sandy Roth, EMT-P, CPT, is a paramedic with Wellspan Ephrata Community Hospital Advanced Life Support Unit in Ephrata, Pa. She is certified as a personal trainer, childrens fitness specialist, and Silver Sneakers and group exercise instructor. She teaches high-intensity interval training and Silver Sneakers classes as well as fitness classes for EMS and fire personnel specialized to the tasks they do on a daily basis.
