Any physical activity that gets your heart beating a little faster is useful. If youve never tracked your heartbeat while exercising, it might be worth trying. For moderate exercise, the recommended target is roughly 50 to 70 percent of your bodys maximum heart rate. (To calculate your maximum heart rate, subtract your age from 220.) Many people will hit this target during a brisk walk, Dr. Lewis said.

Estimating your maximum heart rate can help you gauge how hard you should be walking, running or cycling. But its not perfect, since your natural heart rate during exercise may be higher or lower. Plus, the fitness levels and heart rates among people the same age can vary, and not all exercises raise your heart rate the same amount. Consider talking to your doctor before establishing your goals.

Just moving your body in some way is going to be helpful, Dr. Garber said. Thats a really important message.

Many people exercise with weight loss in mind, but merely increasing physical activity usually isnt effective. In a 2011 review of 14 published papers, scientists found that people with bigger bodies who did aerobic exercise for at least two hours a week lost an average of only 3.5 pounds over six months. And in a small 2018 clinical trial, women who did high-intensity circuit training three times a week didnt see significant weight loss after eight weeks. (They did, however, gain muscle.)

Exercise improves your overall health, and studies suggest that it has a larger effect on life expectancy than body type. Regardless of your size, exercise reduces your risk of heart disease, some kinds of cancer, depression, type 2 diabetes, anxiety and insomnia, said Beth Lewis, a sport and exercise physiologist at the University of Minnesota.

Ive always assumed that the healthiest exercisers work out almost every day, but research suggests otherwise. In a study published in July, researchers followed more than 350,000 healthy American adults for an average of over 10 years. They found that people who exercised at least 150 minutes a week, over one or two days, were no more likely to die for any reason than those who reached 150 minutes in shorter, more frequent bouts. Other studies by Dr. Lee and her colleagues have drawn similar conclusions.

Meet the 2022 summer interns - Los Angeles Times

A handful of Philly-area startups are the recipients of investments, thanks to two capital-involved accelerators and funds.

The Bucks Built Startup Fund, in its third round, this summer deployed $125,000 to five early-stage startups. Funded by the Bucks County Industrial Development Authority (IDA), the startups will also receive a years worth of advising, resources, connections and programming from the Bucks Built team, IDA and the broader Startup Bucks community focused on enabling growth and securing follow-on funding.

The startups chosen for $25,000 investments are:

Seven other startups were chosen by Bucks Startup to receive $5,000 grants from Penn Community Bank. Those include AWSM Sauce, Dr. Brownies, Eternally, Forge, Measure Studio, Sage SEO and Vital Start.

In only the second year of the Bucks Built Startup Fund, we are already seeing the impact these investments are having to the growth of the startup community within Bucks County, said Stephen Marzullo, chairman of the board of directors for IDA, in a statement. We hope that through continued funding and support in this innovative program, Bucks County will become the premier destination for new and cutting edge startups to call their home.

And two Philly founders will join the second cohort of Milwaukee-based Northwestern Mutual and gener8tors Black Founder Accelerator, an initiative to target resources and financing to promising Black entrepreneurs around the country. Cody Eddings, cofounder of SnapRefund, and Tiffanie Stanard, founder of Stimulus, each receive $100,000 through the 12-week business training program.

The program is mostly virtual with a few in-person events including a kickoff in Milwaukee, the Insurtech Connect Conference in Las Vegas in the fall, and a public pitch night in December with both cohorts of five companies that were accepted.

The SnapRefund and Stimulus leaders will be meeting mentors and investors across different industries, and get an executive mentor matched to them based on their strategic goals. gener8tor also make intros to prospective customers, investors and mentors on a wish list that each company submits at the beginning of the program.

[Editors note: Read more about the gener8tor program via Technical.lys This Week in Milwaukee Rising series.]

Eddings said he reached out to a financial advisor at Northwestern last year with a goal of landing them as a client for SnapRefunds life insurance claim payments. That financial advisor connected him to Moiz Dawoodbhai, the assistant director of strategic investing at Northwestern Mutual Future Ventures, and the team applied to the accelerator from there.

SnapRefund aims get first-hand insights into the claims payment process and the pain points for a company at the scale of Northwestern Mutual, Eddings said. His team also plans to to expand their roster of businesses to equip with its instant payment processing technology.

One of our major goals in the program is to sign a payment processing deal with a dental carrier, MGA, or TPA, to solve the crippling friction people face today around fee-for-service dental treatment that requires them to pay out of pocket for their visits entire cost and then wait weeks to be reimbursed for the portion owed to them by their dental insurance carrier, the cofounder said.

Stanard, who hopes to focus on the evolution of partnerships with companies that have a shared mission of building better relationships with their suppliers, said she found out about the program from an investor and friend who went through its previous cohort. Shes excited about gener8tor and Northwesterns teams concierge approach in working with just five startups at a time.

During our time with them in Milwaukee during the kick-off week, it was showcased that Stimulus fits the strategic goals of Northwestern Mutual, as we make the purchasing process more transparent to help various stakeholders collaborate to achieve their corporate goals, such as improving diverse purchasing, Stanard said.

Stanard and Eddings represent Philadelphia in the accelerator, which has three other startups from Atlanta, Boulder and Lexington, Tennessee in the areas of fintech, insurtech, digital health and data analytics.

We are both honored and eager to welcome this years Black Founder Accelerator startups into our portfolio, said Precious Drew, senior managing director of the accelerator, in a statement. This partnership with Northwestern Mutual directly supports Black founders nationally by providing important resources, mentorship and funding these innovative entrepreneurs might otherwise not have had access to. We look forward to seeing how they continue to develop their unique solutions.
