Seven Fitness Myt
(NAPS)—With the New Year
rapidly approaching, there’s no
shortage of advice on the best
ways to achieve your resolutions.
Yet, bvhen it comes to fitness and
weight loss goals, it can be diffi-
cult to tell fact from fiction.
Stay on the fast track to keep-
ing your New Year’s resolutions.
Here are Bowflex Fitness Advisor
and author of “Beat the Gym,”
Tom Holland’s top seven fitness
myths exposed:
Myth #1: You need to spend
at least an hour in the gym to
see results.
Research shows you can actu-
ally achieve better results doing
15 minutes of interval training
three times a week than by jog-
ging on a treadmill for an hour.
Not sure where to start? Con-
sider this: The new Bowflex Max
Trainer” (www.bowflexmaxtrainer.
com) burns up to 2V2 times the
calories as do other cardio exercise
equipment in 14 minutes and
engages the upper body 80 per-
cent more than a traditional ellip-
tical. Plus, it’s designed specifi-
cally for the home, so you can
work out anytime.
Myth #2: As long as you
exercise, you can eat whatever
you want.
Whether you want to maintain,
gain or lose weight, you need to
make sure your caloric intake
matches your goals. To lose weight,
you need to eat fewer calories than
you burn. For example, if you burn
500 calories during your workout
and then eat two or more slices of
pizza (topping 500 calories), you’ll
end up gaining weight.
You can determine how much to
eat by testing your metabolic rate,
since your metabolic rate is the
energy you use in order to be alive
plus the energy needed for daily
activities. You can use this mea—
surement to accurately identify how
many calories your body needs.
Myth #3: Organic or gluten-
free foods are best for weight
loss.
There are many benefits of eat-
ing organic or gluten-free foods.
For example, they have more
antioxidants, less pesticides and
food additives. However, overeat-
ing is still overeating. Make sure
to evaluate your overall caloric
intake and expenditures to stay
within the bounds of your goal.
Myth #4: Fitness shakes are

the healthy diet necessary to
reach fitness goals.
For instance, the new line of
Bowflex Body” (www.bowflexbody.
com) fitness shakes activates the
metabolism and helps build mus-
cle, burn calories and boost energy,
all while refueling the body.
Myth #5: Do cardio on an
empty stomach to burn the
most fat.
Many people believe if you
work out on an empty stomach,
your body will use its stored fat
supply to fuel the exercise. How-
ever, research shows fat burn is
consistent whether you eat before
a workout or not.
If you’re looking for cardio
motivation, the new Nautilus“ 616
cardio series (www.11autilus.com)
includes a treadmill, elliptical,
upright bike and recumbent bike.
Features include groundbreaking
technology for better connectivity
and customizable workouts with
the innovative Nautilus“) Trainer”
app. .
Myth _#6: Crunches are best
for getting great abs.
No matter how many crunches
you do, you won’t see six—pack abs
until you lose the layers of fat cov-
ering your abdominal wall. The
best way to lose fat is to stick to a
strict diet and scorch major calo-
ries with interval training and
compound weight-lifting exercises
—which use more than one major
muscle group.
Myth #7: I can’t reach my
fitness goals because I can’t
afford a trainer.
Personal trainers are a great
resource to help motivate and
take you to the next level. But if
you can’t afford a personal
trainer, don’t be discouraged.
There are many great (free!)
resources online you can use to
aid your fitness regime, including

Farm Service Agency Extends Voting
Deadline for County Committee
Elections West Virginia Producers Now
Have Until Dec. 13 to Submit Ballots.
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) West Virginia
Farm Service Agency
(FSA) Executive Director,
Richard V. Snuffer II, today
announced that the deadline to
submit ballots for the 2016 County
Committee Elections has been
extended to ensure farmers and
ranchers have sufficient time to
vote. Eligible voters now have until
Dec. 13, 2016 to return ballots to
their local FSA offices. Producers
who have not received their ballot
should pick one up at their local FSA
office.
"We're extending the voting
deadline to Dec. 13 to give farmers
and ranchers a few additional days
to get their ballots in," said Snuffer.
"I urge all eligible producers,
especially minorities and women, to
get involved and make a real
difference in their communities by
voting in this year's elections. This
is your opportunity to have a say in
how federal programs are delivered
in your county." FSA has modified
the ballot, making it easily
identifiable and less likely to be
overlooked. Ballots returned by mail
must be postmarked no later than
Dec. 13, 2016. Newly elected
committee members will take office
Jan. 1, 2017.
Nearly 7,700 FSA County
Committee members serve FSA
offices nationwide. Each committee
has three to 11 elected members who
serve three-year terms of office. One-
third of County Committee seats are
up for election each year. County
Committee members apply their
knowledge and judgment to help
FSA make important decisions on its
commodity support, conservation,
indemnity, disaster and emergency
programs.
Producers must participate or
cooperate in an FSA program to be
eligible to vote in the County
. Committee election. Approximately
1.5 million producers are currently
eligible to vote. Farmers and
ranchers who supervise and conduct
the farming operations of an entire
farm, but are not of legal voting age,
also may be eligible to vote.
For more information, visit the
FSA website at www.fsa.usda.gov/
elections. You
may also contact your local USDA
service center or FSA office. Visit
http.//offices.usda.gov to find an
FSA office near you.
USDA works to strengthen and
support American agriculture, an
industry that supports one in 11
American jobs, provides American
consumers with more than 80
percent of the food we consume,
ensures that Americans spend less
of their paychecks at the grocery
store than most people in other
countries and supports markets for
homegrown renewable energy and
materials. Since 2009, USDA has
provided $5.6 billion in disaster
relief to farmers and ranchers;
expanded risk management tools
with products like Whole Farm
Revenue Protection; and helped
farm businesses grow with $36
billion in farm credit. The
Department has engaged its
resources to support a strong next
generation of farmers and ranchers
by improving access to land and
capital; building new markets and
market opportunities; and
extending new conservation
opportunities. USDA has developed
new markets for rural made
products, including more than 2,700
bio based products through
USDA's Bio-Preferred program; and
invested $64 billion in infrastructure
and community facilities to help
improve the quality of life in rural
America. For more information, visit

Tips For Saving 0n Prescription And Health Costs
(NAPS)—According to the Cen-
ters for Disease Control,fl,rnea,rly
ne‘preéeription dr gpe -
and up to 50 percent of chronically
ill people stop taking their med-
ication within the first year.
One of the most commonly cited
reasons patients stop taking med-
ications as prescribed is related to
a desire to reduce health care
costs. As baby boomers reach
retirement age, they are expected
to live longer on average than pre-
vious generations and will also face
new health challenges and con-
cerns, such as managing chronic
health conditions, which can be
overwhelmingly expensive.
With rising health costs and
changing health care coverage
weighing on the minds of families
and baby boomers alike, here are
some simple tips for families to
save money while taking care of
their health:
1. Try the store-brand versions
of healthy products like vitamins.
Store-brand supplements and
remedies are formulated to deliver
the same performance that shop-
pers expect from the national
brands and are held to the same
strict testing guidelines, all at
more affordable prices.
2. Ask your pharmacist about
generic prescription options. These
medications offer the same active
ingredients as brand-name medica-
tions at a lower cost, which can
make a big difference when manag-
ing chronic conditions. Generic pre—
scription medications are FDA
approved and are safe and effective.
3. Keep taking your prescribed
medications as directed, because

pharmacy, offer programs de-

and earn more rewards on
prescriptions.
taking medications irregularly
can impact your overall health. To
stay on track, talk openly with
your pharmacist. It has been
shown that regular consultations
with a pharmacist can make
patients twice as likely to take
medications as prescribed, which
can lower health care costs by
thousands of dollars annually.
4. Look into pharmacy savings
programs. For example, members
of the new ExtraCare Pharmacy &
Health Rewards” program at
CVS/pharmacy® receive Extra-
Bucks® Rewards when they refill
prescriptions and take other
health-related actions, such as
getting flu shots, enrolling in
online prescription management
services, or signing up for pre-
scription text message alerts.
Enrolling is free and easy and can
be done on the CVS/pharmacy
website or in-store at the phar-
macy counter.
For more information on the
ExtraCare Pharmacy & Health
Rewards program, visit the web-
site at www.cvs.com/rxrewards
or inquire at your local
CVS/pharmacy.
