Hi Friends, My son is 15 years old, he is very adamant to go to gym. I have tried my best to explain, but I really want some proof to show my son. I have myself been a fitness freak, but I think he should wait for another 3 yrs or so. Read many reviews like the one Zumba Reviews, there they have given good information. I think I should show my son some reviews like that first. Friends kindly do guide me Confused Father Topic: Fitness and Exercise / Fitness News |

Long gone are the days when the idea of “games for health” meant exergaming. The mobile and social world has virtually exploded with a wealth of productivity apps, interactive personal trainers and beyond — to say nothing of the complex effect the gamification movement has had on the concept of digital games that can help people feel better and do things better. Portable phones now come equipped with GPS and accelerometers that can help people keep track of fitness goals, and reward-oriented game design shows promise in helping people engage with their health goals. But Ben Sawyer, founder of the games for health conference, says there are even more big things about to happen that can create opportunities for game developers. “You’re seeing this whole cadre of people rethinking software-based health,” Sawyer tells Gamasutra. “They’re getting very interested in games, and you’re seeing this gamut from apps and apps with gamification through things that are true games.” A happy side effect of current venture capitalist interest in game mechanics has been a stronger, business-oriented push into the field. They may be coming from the busines world, “but they’re bumping into people who have been working on games for a while,” Sawyer explains. The upcoming Games for Health conference, set for June 12-14 in Boston, will convene health, gaming and business professionals looking to explore these synergies. Keynote speakers include Constance Steinkuehler Squire, senior policy analyst for the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy; Bill Crounse, MD, senior director of worldwide health for Microsoft, and SuperBetter Labs’ Jane McGonigal. “You’re seeing people who aren’t grant-based, not research-based, but product people looking at this mass opportunity in health and wellness, and they know games are going to be part of it,” Sawyer says. “That’s why you see this quick glom-on to gamification… then they have to figure out how to go further.” It’s game developers that can take intrigued health and wellness companies beyond the sort of participation that comes from imitation or a sense of obligation and into meaningfully-fun experiences that can help people improve their health. A number of wellness and productivity apps — take the popular Runkeeper for example — are making APIs available for developers to use, too. In particular, Sawyer is interested in a future for biometric sensors: “I think it’s going to be a significant opportunity. It’s still one of those things where you can see the pieces of it, but you haven’t had that kind of ‘aha’ moment.” Right now, the tech — sensors like Nike’s Fuel band, which provide detailed feedback on fitness and body performance and interface with interactive software — is a little too cost-prohibitive to create a ton of mass market opportunity, but “it’s going to happen,” Sawyer says. “If I were [a sensor company], I’d be talking to developers already, saying over and over, ’this is a big opportunity.” When you get those costs down, what’s going to happen is if we can show that people who wear these bands get healthier because they change their behavior ever so slightly… then the large health companies might step in and start saying, ‘okay, we’re going to subsidize this.’" The gamification movement is useful in that it offers a starting point for companies from well outside the world of games — but it can only do that, Sawyer warns. Without a strong, engaging infrastructure, layering game-like qualities on top of things will provide health companies only a temporary blip — with the downside being that the minimal response might put them off games altogether, or make them believe gaming is a “box” they’ve already checked. Goal-setting or reward apps are only the beginning, not the sum of the whole. Topic: Fitness and Exercise / Beyond fitness: New frontiers for improving health through video games |

The best green tea is Japanese matcha. It a powder green tea. Once the water reaches to boiling, set some water to the side. Let it cool to 175 degrees F. Then pour in the green tea, add a small teaspoon of honey. There is no bag, since it is a powder. It dissolves and gives this wonderful earthy taste. Depending on where you live, you have to go to a tea store, Asian grocery store or buy it online. If you live in the states, it is best to watch the movie “All that Tea” in netflix. It is a great documentary about green tea, tea process. Lots of delicious new teas to try as well! |

6 to 7 is a proper time to have a good and sound sleep. If we follow this regular manner we can stay fit. Most of people use to sleep more than 9 hr. It’s a wasting of time and fitness same time. But during 6 to 7 sound sleep is necessary for mental relaxation. Topic: General Health / Sleep for health ? |

As misssandy suggest you go through the walk and lose some weight. Coz 180 Kg is almost a critical weight for normal height body. Try to eat fat free food’s like fruit’s, vegetable’s and then stick with walking in regular manner. Don’t try to lose weight in short time coz it may harm your body too. |

I appreciate that you lose 15.5 lbs within 2 weeks but what ever the reason mentioned amount of weight lose in short period is not good at any view. Loosing weight is a hierarchy and we should follow this. Suddenly weight lose is harms your internal body part’s. So please do it in manner so that it doesn’t harm you. |

Hello all. I was wondering if anyone has some suggestions for organizing my current supplement intake. I’m not taking them strictly for muscle building and my experience in this area is very little. Here is what I currently have: -Zinc (50mg) I generally take most of them at night since the rush of vitamins makes me a bit nauseous even with a meal. I take the Tribulus and DHEA before a light workout in the morning or in the evening. Some of these are probably unconventional for this crowd, but I’m hoping someone will have some suggestions on how to get the most out of these. Thanks.

so, i have been on a diet for not even 2 weeks now, and I have lost 15.5 lbs. I started May 6th at 262 and now today May 19th, I weight 247 lbs. Is this normal? I am not starving myself and I eat regularly throughout the day. I am just surprised at how fast I shed these pounds. I thought my scale might be wrong but then I got my mother to step on the scale and her weight was correct. So i believe this is too good to be true. |

I’m a huge fan of DB and have been using it for at least 2 years. I was thrilled when you added the ability to pull in weight and body fat from my Withings scale. It would be an even more useful site, if it could import my workout data from my Wahoo iPhone app. Wahoo Fitness sells a chest strap that works with the iPhone that records your heart rate, miles ran/cycled and GPS details. All of this automation saves me time from having to manually enter this information. The Wahoo iPhone app (which collects the data on the iPhone) currently exports to Runkeeper, Garmin Connect (my two favorite) and 7 other sites. DB should get added to this list so that it can be the “one-stop-shop” for all my nutrition and health-related activities. Topic: General Discussion / Integration with Wahoo iPhone App? |

Carbs are very useful in losing weight.They provide energy for the entire body. And for those men looking to lose weight, restricting the amount of carbs in a diet forces the body to break down fat for energy instead of carbs. This in turn can lead to greater weight loss and reduce appetite while Protein allows men to build strong muscles and bones and is key for growth and immunity.
