Chronic Disease Wellness: Disparities Among African American Agers

by Christine Conti & Nicole Gordan

Are you one of the 50% of people in the United States who suffer from chronic pain due to an illness or injury? Or are you the 1 in 4 adults with at least one form of arthritis or experiencing inflammation due to an autoimmune disease? Maybe you are a part of the 45% of people who have been diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes or the 12% that have at least 5 chronic illnesses?

According to the Centers for Disease Control, an increasing proportion of Americans are dealing with multiple chronic illnesses and are living in chronic pain. However, the good news is that our medical and fitness industry has been making some headway when it comes to promoting and educating the public on the power of exercise to prevent and reduce the onset of chronic diseases. With the growing number of specializations and medical fitness certifications, the number of fitness professionals who are highly trained to work with this demographic is quickly growing due to the help of the most recent research that promotes exercise as a way to prevent various diseases.

“You could really benefit from starting an exercise program.”

Do you have a doctor who understands the power of exercise? If so, that is a great start! Regular exercise such as: repetitive and exaggerated movements will activate and build muscle, which is valuable in restoring function, prolonging the effects of diseases, and improving neural pathways, muscle memory, & Neuroplasticity!

Exercise has been proven to help reduce pain, decrease the dependency on medication, and prevent diseases such as:

Heart Disease
Diabetes/Obesity
Metabolic Syndrome
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Stroke
Some Cancers

The benefits are seemingly endless, however, what about the people in the United States who lack the knowledge, time, money, or opportunity to implement and execute a fitness and wellness routine? What if YOU are a part of the active aging African American community who faces significant disadvantages when it comes to health and fitness due to a combination of systemic, socioeconomic, and cultural factors?

What Do You Know About Cultural Disparities?

Historically, African Americans have had limited access to quality healthcare and fitness resources, which has led to a higher prevalence of chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. Additionally, socioeconomic barriers such as lower income and education levels often result in reduced access to healthy foods, safe exercise environments, and preventive healthcare services. These disparities are compounded by cultural factors, including mistrust of the healthcare system due to historical injustices and a lack of representation in health and fitness professionals, which can discourage engagement in health-promoting behaviors.

Access to Healthcare and Fitness Resources: African Americans often have less access to quality healthcare and fitness facilities in neighborhoods where they reside. In addition, they have little to no access to parks, sidewalks, and in some cases, transportation.
Socioeconomic Barriers: Lower income and, in certain instances, education levels limit access to healthy foods, safe exercise environments, and preventive care.
Cultural Factors: Historical injustices and lack of representation in health and fitness professions contribute to mistrust and lower engagement. As a result, African Americans are disproportionately exposed to measurable physiological and psychological stress compared to those not of African American origin.

Some statistics are quite startling:

African Americans are 1.7 times more likely to have diabetes compared to their white counterparts (American Diabetes Association).
Only 23% of African American adults meet the federal physical activity guidelines, compared to 33% of white adults (CDC).
African Americans have a 50% higher prevalence of hypertension than their white counterparts (American Heart Association).
African Americans are more likely to die at an earlier age due to the earlier prevalence of chronic conditions or diseases such as: diabetes, heart disease, cancer, stroke, asthma, and HIV/AIDS. (CDC & The Office of Mental Health, part of the Department for Health and Human Services.)

Addressing Disparities in Health and Fitness

Health and fitness coaches can play a crucial role in addressing these disparities by implementing culturally sensitive and accessible programs. Firstly, coaches can provide education on the importance of regular exercise and balanced nutrition, tailored to the specific needs and preferences of African American Active Agers. This can include offering workshops in community centers, churches, and other familiar settings, making it easier for individuals to participate. Secondly, coaches should advocate for and facilitate access to affordable fitness options, such as sliding-scale gym memberships or community exercise programs. This ensures these programs are welcoming and inclusive helping to reduce the intimidation or alienation that many African Americans may feel in traditional fitness environments.

Culturally Sensitive Education: Tailored workshops and programs in familiar community settings.
Affordable Fitness Options: Sliding scale memberships and community exercise programs.
Inclusive and Welcoming Environments: Reducing feelings of intimidation or alienation in fitness settings.
Provision of Resources: Having a database of resources to help clients with areas outside our scope of work/care/expertise.

Additionally, health and fitness coaches can foster partnerships with local healthcare providers to create a holistic approach to wellness that addresses both physical and medical needs. They can also serve as advocates for policy changes that improve access to health and fitness resources in underserved communities. By building trust and providing consistent support, coaches can empower African American Active Agers to take charge of their health and improve their overall quality of life. This multi-faceted approach not only addresses immediate fitness needs but also contributes to long-term health improvements and reduced disparities.

The “Wild Wild West” Of Rhythm Ride Cycle

by Andrea Austin

In the late 1980s, indoor cycling emerged as a popular trend in health clubs. Big box gyms quickly adapted, creating dedicated spaces for this new group exercise. Specialized bikes were developed, featuring a weighted flywheel, a chain drive, and a resistance knob with a “push and hold” braking system.

Since then, indoor cycling bikes have evolved with various drive trains, including belt and carbon, and different resistance systems, such as knobs and levers. Despite these advancements, indoor cycling remains a specialized group exercise requiring unique certification and training to ensure instructors provide a safe, effective, and enjoyable experience. Several certifying bodies emerged to address this need, focusing on road-inspired certifications and workshops for aspiring instructors.

Initially, while music was a component of indoor cycling classes, it wasn’t the primary focus. As the fitness industry evolved, there was a growing demand for more dynamic, music-driven cycling classes. This led to the development of beat-driven indoor cycling, where instructors began incorporating upper-body movements like push-ups and tap-backs. However, this trend often occurred without proper certification, posing risks of acute and chronic injuries to riders. The fitness industry’s educators and certifying bodies generally disapproved of these unregulated movements due to safety concerns.

From the early 1990s to today, rhythm-focused classes have increasingly embraced a “wild, wild west” approach, with an emphasis on fun over scientific purpose. Although this style has garnered many followers, concerns persist about the lack of safety and scientific foundation behind these movements. Risky practices, such as performing upper-body movements at high RPMs, using exercise bands on the bike, and integrating dance-like moves, have become more common.

These classes, while enjoyable and mentally stimulating, often place riders at risk. Instructors may receive training from in-house programs lacking scientific rigor or follow social media influencers prioritizing popularity over evidence-based practices. This can lead to certifications being invalidated, exposing instructors, studios, and health clubs to potential liability issues.

This is where BeatBoss™ comes in. A decade ago, BeatBoss™ identified the need for a certification that combined traditional indoor cycling’s data and drills focus with beat-driven, upper-body movements. Approved by NASM, ACE, and AFAA, BeatBoss™ integrates road cycling with off-road inspirations (BMX and mountain biking) to create a safe, effective, and engaging experience for all ages. BeatBoss™ employs science-based principles, including understanding fascia health and optimizing body weight distribution and angles on a stationary bike.

BeatBoss™ offers flexibility, accommodating various levels of technology—from no metrics to advanced performance tracking systems like Watts and heart rate monitors. Its beat-driven methodology ensures a high fun factor, making classes enjoyable while promoting member retention and growth.

Whether you’re new to indoor cycling instruction or a seasoned pro, BeatBoss™ caters to all levels of fitness with a body-positive approach, from teens to seniors. Its “fits like a glove” format meets the needs of diverse riders with a fresh perspective.

Are You an Honest Observer?

by Greg Mack

“You see but you do not observe.”
—Sherlock Holmes to Dr. Watson in “A Scandal in Bohemia” March 18, 2020

Science (n.)
The observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena.
Such activities restricted to a class of natural phenomena.
Such activities applied to an object of inquiry or study.

Observe (v.)
To notice or perceive something and register it as being significant.

Perceive (v.)
Become aware of (something) by the use of one of the senses, esp. that of sight.

Honest (adj.)
Free of deceit and untruthfulness; sincere, morally correct, or virtuous; blameless or well well-intentioned even if unsuccessful or misguided.

It is not a far reach to conclude that as humans, and all that entails, we comprehend the vast majority of the things we think of as true or factual about our external world from what we receive from the sense organs: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin. Any understanding of our reality, and even language, imagination, and thoughts, derives from the things we observe through our senses. Reflecting on the definitions posited previously, it is clear that there are inherent relationships between what we call science and the ability to observe, and that the ability to observe is a function of perceiving significance, which is dependent on the ability to sense.

“Scientific theories are primarily tested against observation and accepted, rejected, or modified mainly because of observational data. Observation is thus generally considered to be the touchstone of objectivity in science; it seems to be primarily observation that provides an independent standard for the evaluation of theories and hypotheses. If it were not for observation, there would be little reason for choosing between scientific theories and fictional accounts, between science and pseudoscience, between warranted assertions and fanciful hopes …” “observation clearly cannot be maintained as infallible or certain. The existence of perceptual illusion, hallucinations, and other less dramatic perceptual errors proves that people can be deceived by their senses.”
–Martin, M., “Concepts of Science Education: A Philosophic Analysis”. Glenview, IL: Scott, Forseman. Pgs. 112-113, 1972.

From the perspective that human existence and its interaction with its environment is of a dynamic and progressively changing nature over time, it is inferred that no two experiences can ever be identical, because the experience of a first event and its conditions alters how an individual observer may experience the same event with the same conditions the second time. The implications of this statement are profound. It appears that an individual observer’s unique set of experiences and knowledge affects not only the ability to observe but also the process of observation itself.

“That a trained observer with certain knowledge and training can observe things that a person without this knowledge and training cannot observe.” Further, “a person’s background will influence what properties he [or she] visually attends to in a particular object, or indeed whether he [or she] attends to any properties of the object at all. Finally, the theoretical background of a scientist leads him [or her] to observe non-cognitively objects which the layman, because of his [or her] lack of theoretical background does not observe at all.”
–Martin, M., “Concepts of Science Education: A Philosophic Analysis”. Glenview, IL: Scott, Forseman, Pg. 107, 1972.

Therefore, by the definitions and descriptions above an Honest Observer is one who …

… seeks a deeper understanding of what is being observed.

… continually works and studies to increase the depth of knowledge regarding relevant subject matter.

… discerns what can and cannot be deduced by an observation.

… chooses the proper tools and measurements when making and recording observations.

… faithfully reports all of what is observed: even those aspects of the observation that do not support a hypothesis or pre-existing belief.

… is intellectually transparent and open to critical analysis of the process(es) that led to the observation(s).

… understands and fully discloses the limits of the tools, procedures, and measurements used to make an observation(s).

… acknowledges the presence and possibility of bias when making and interpreting observational information.

… acknowledges the inherent uncertainty in sense observation and the data collected from an observation.

… is dispassionate about observational data.

… submits to peer review accountability for any inferences and conclusions drawn from observations.

… seeks truth and validity even when it doesn’t serve egocentric goals and preconceived notions.

The Vital Role of Fitness Professionals in Teaching Seniors How to Safely Get Onto and Off of the Floor

by Deborah Rothschild, MS, NASM-CPT, ACE-CPT, AFAA-CGFI

As the population ages, the importance of promoting physical activity and functional independence among seniors has become increasingly recognized. One crucial aspect of senior fitness often overlooked is the ability to get onto and off the floor safely. Fitness professionals play a vital role in educating and guiding seniors to master this essential skill to maintain mobility and independence. This article will explore the significance of teaching seniors how to perform these movements safely, provide practical tips for fitness professionals to incorporate into their training programs, and offer a step-by-step method of getting onto and off the floor.

 Teaching seniors how to get onto and off the floor is an essential aspect of their overall fitness and well-being for several reasons:  

Functional ability: Getting onto and off the floor is a fundamental functional movement for everyday activities. It can help seniors maintain their independence and perform tasks such as picking up items from the floor, gardening, and sitting on the floor to play with grandchildren.
Fall prevention: Falls are a significant concern for seniors, and they can lead to severe injuries such as fractures, head trauma, and immobility. Knowing how to get onto and off of the floor safely can help seniors prevent falls that may occur when they attempt to do so without the necessary skills or techniques.

Mobility and flexibility: Practicing getting onto and off the floor can help seniors improve their mobility and flexibility. These movements can help maintain joint health and range of motion, essential for overall physical function and quality of life.
Muscle strength: Getting onto and off the floor requires a combination of muscle groups to work together. By incorporating these movements into their fitness routine, seniors can improve their strength, particularly in the core, legs, and upper body.  5. Confidence and independence: Mastering the skill of getting onto and off the floor can boost seniors’ confidence in their physical abilities and promote a sense of freedom. Feeling confident in their movement capabilities can encourage seniors to stay active and engaged in other fitness activities.

Tips for Fitness Professionals:

Assess and Address Individual Needs: Before teaching seniors how to get onto and off of the floor, it’s essential to assess their current abilities, limitations, and any existing medical conditions. You can tailor your approach based on their individual needs and physical capabilities.
Focus on Proper Technique: Emphasize the importance of maintaining good posture, using proper body mechanics, and engaging the core muscles when performing movements on the floor. Provide clear and simple instructions to help seniors understand and execute the movements correctly.
Use Assistive Devices: Utilize props such as chairs, walkers, tables, and couches to support seniors as they practice getting onto and off of the floor. These tools can provide stability and assistance while gradually building strength and confidence in performing the movements independently.
Encourage Regular Practice: To improve their skills and confidence over time, encourage seniors to practice getting onto and off the floor regularly. Incorporate these movements into their daily exercise routine to help them maintain their mobility and independence.

Understanding Why FDA-Approved Cleaning Wipes are Important

by Raymond Anderson

Keeping a space clean is essential for the health and safety of its users. Gyms are high-traffic environments where germs and bacteria can spread easily. Shared equipment, locker rooms, bathrooms, and wet areas like pools or saunas can harbor germs that lead to skin ailments, colds, or other illnesses. Maintaining cleanliness in all these areas helps prevent the spread of infections and ensures a healthy workout environment.

Types of Wipes and Their Uses

Not all wipes are the same. Knowing the differences helps you choose the right one for your needs. There are three main types of wipes available on the market each has a different purpose and level of cleanliness.

Cleaning Wipes

Cleaning wipes remove visible dirt and dust. They don’t kill germs but are great for general cleaning tasks where sanitization isn’t needed. These wipes help maintain a tidy appearance and usually contain deodorizers.

Antibacterial/Sanitizing Wipes

Antibacterial or sanitizing wipes are perfect for gyms, offices, and homes. They reduce the number of bacteria and viruses on surfaces, providing a safer environment. These wipes are often registered with the FDA, ensuring they are safe for use on hands and bodies. They use sanitizing agents like alcohol or QUATs (quaternary ammonium compounds).

Our Tip: For public areas such as gyms and offices FDA-approved sanitizing wipes are the safest choice. Our wipes are made of high-quality spun lace fabric that helps control bacteria and viruses, making the place safer for everyone. With FDA approval, you don’t have to worry about making contact with the skin, so you don’t need personal protection equipment (PPE).

Disinfecting Wipes

Disinfecting wipes are essential for healthcare settings or areas with high infection risks. These wipes contain stronger chemicals and need a short time to work effectively, ensuring surfaces are free from harmful pathogens. Quality disinfecting wipes are registered with the EPA.

The trade-off? While disinfecting wipes kill more effectively than antibacterial/sanitizing wipes, they come with the cost of being considered a pesticide by the EPA. It is recommended to wear personal protective equipment like gloves when using these wipes. This is great for prepared staff but they are not ideal for public places.

Why FDA-Approved Wipes?

FDA-approved anti-bacterial & sanitized wipes are tested for safety and effectiveness, making them a reliable choice for public settings. Here’s why they matter:

Safe for Skin: FDA-approved wipes are safe to use on your hands and body. This is important in public places where many people use the wipes.
Effective Sanitization: These wipes are proven to reduce germs, making high-traffic areas cleaner.
Regulated Standards: FDA approval means the wipes meet strict standards, ensuring they work as promised.

Why Spun Lace for Sanitizing Wipes?

This reliable material is Soft and Durable making it gentle on the skin and strong enough for tough cleaning, Absorbent, allowing cleaning agents to hold and release well, and lastly (possibly most importantly), they are Tear-Resistant and don’t fall apart during use.

Ultra-Processed Food

by Amanda Fearheily

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) have been getting significant media attention recently, and for good reason. Ongoing research highlights their negative impact on health. Let’s explore how these foods might affect your well-being.

Understanding Processed Foods

Processed foods are those that have been altered from their original state. According to the International Food Information Council, processing includes any deliberate change made to a food before it is ready for consumption. This includes methods like heating, pasteurizing, canning, drying, and even refrigeration. Therefore, unless you’re consuming foods straight from nature—like freshly picked strawberries or milk straight from the cow—most of what we eat is technically processed.

However, not all processing is harmful. Basic techniques like freezing vegetables or whole grains do not necessarily make these foods unhealthy. The concern arises with ultra-processed foods, which are linked to serious health issues like obesity, cancer, cognitive impairment, and stroke.

Research Findings

For instance, a study involving over 20,000 participants (with one-third identifying as Black and two-thirds as White) found that increasing UPFs in your diet by just 10% can raise the risk of cognitive impairment and stroke. This suggests that if 1 in 10 foods you consume is an UPF, you might be at higher risk. Conversely, consuming unprocessed or minimally processed foods was associated with a lower risk of cognitive impairment.

Interestingly, the study also found that the impact of UPFs on stroke risk was more pronounced among Black participants compared to White participants. Additionally, those who followed a healthy diet (such as Mediterranean, DASH, or MIND) while minimizing UPF consumption had better brain health than those with similar diets but higher UPF intake.

Why UPFs May Harm Your Brain

Here are some reasons why UPFs could be detrimental to brain health:

High Sugar Content: UPFs often contain processed carbohydrates that quickly turn into simple sugars, akin to eating candy. This causes insulin spikes, which can disrupt normal brain cell function.
Metabolic Risks: Consuming UPFs is linked to metabolic syndrome and obesity, conditions associated with high blood pressure, abnormal lipid levels, and type 2 diabetes.
Unhealthy Additives: Additives in UPFs, which alter texture, color, sweetness, or flavor, can disrupt gut microbiota, leading to:
- Production of metabolites affecting brain function
- Leaky gut, allowing toxins and inflammatory molecules into the bloodstream and brain
- Altered neurotransmitter function (e.g., serotonin), affecting mood and cognition
- Increased cortisol levels, simulating chronic stress and impacting memory and executive functions
- Higher risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s due to inflammation

Practical Tips for Healthier Choices

To mitigate these risks, consider the following tips:

Avoid UPFs: Steer clear of items like chips, industrial breads and pastries, packaged sweets, sodas, instant noodles, ready-to-eat meals, and processed meats. These often have extensive ingredient lists with hard-to-pronounce items.
Opt for Minimally Processed Foods: Choose foods similar to those in a Mediterranean diet, such as fish, olive oil, avocados, whole fruits and vegetables, nuts, beans, and whole grains.
Choose Whole Foods: For example, prefer steel-cut oats over sweetened breakfast cereals, and natural cheese and an apple over artificially flavored cheese crackers.
Cook More at Home: Preparing meals from scratch with whole ingredients gives you more control over what you’re consuming.

Remember, balance is key. All foods can fit into a healthy diet, but prioritizing foods that are close to their natural form can provide a solid foundation for better health.
