Walking with a spouse or a partner can be one of the most enjoyable activities couples can do together. However, there may be some drawbacks. This week on Indy Style, WISH-TV News 8’s medical reporter, Dr. Mary Gillis, D.Ed., discusses new research about both the physical and psychological health benefits as well as drawbacks associated with walking with a partner.
For more from Dr. Mary Gillis D.Ed., you can follow her on Facebook.
If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to get moving and fit. Here’s a new trend in fitness. It’s called Animal Flow. WISH-TV’s Mckinzie Roth caught up with Mike Fitch, fitness educator and movement coach of the workout plan.
Animal Flow is a ground based, body weight workout designed to improve strength, power, flexibility, mobility and coordination for all levels of fitness enthusiasts internationally. Fitch has over 18 years of experience in the fitness industry.
With many people still hesitant to go back to the gym and unable to attend workout classes, Animal Flow is a unique exercise that can be practiced at home (no equipment required) and is a great way to add a fun and different element to your workouts!
It features a range of floor-based movements and combinations called the “six components,” each designed to elicit a specific result. The six components can be mixed and matched, allowing you to incorporate one, some, or all of them into your workouts.
For more information, follow Fitch on Instagram.
One of the biggest misconceptions when it comes to getting in shape is that it requires hours at the gym. Today, Tim Griffin, Carmel Firefighter, joined us with a “21-minute no equipment cardio workout” that you can try for 21 days to help build your healthy habits and keep your New Year resolutions going.
Watch the video above to see what moves it entails.
