>>> THANKS FOR WATCHING THIS
MONDAY.
>>> A LOT OF PEOPLE TRY TO WORK
ON NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS, AND
THERE'S A SURVEY THAT SHOWS
PEOPLE STRUGGLING HEALTH AND
WELLNESS IN 2020.
>> LIFETIME, THE PARENT OF
LIFETIME FITNESS, SAID THE
SURVEY SHOWS 70% SAID THEIR
PERSONAL HEALTH WAS IMPACTED
NEGATIVELY LAST YEAR.
THEY SURVEYED CURRENT GYM
MEMBERS AND FORMER MEMBERS.
>> IT'S A SMALLER GROUP OF
PEOPLE.
IT'S NOT THE POPULATION AS A
>> RIGHT.
YEAH.
YOU HAVE TO ASSUME ALREADY THESE
ARE FOLKS WHO ARE MAYBE A LITTLE
MORE CLOSELY IN TUNE TO WHAT
THEIR FITNESS GOALS ARE.
>> RIGHT.
>> THEIR FITNESS FAIL COMPARED
TO, LIKE --.
>> EVERYBODY ELSE'S.
>> MAYBE A DIFFERENT MEAL, YOU
KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
IT IS INTERESTING.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE MEMBERS OF
THE CLUBS AS WELL.
AND PEOPLE AT ALL DIFFERENT
SPOTS ALONG THE FITNESS
SPECTRUM.
A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE
SAID THE REASON WAS STRESS,
44.5% SAID STRESS CAUSED WORSE
EATING HABITS OR WORSE FITNESS
HABITS.
LIFETIME SAYING THIS, BUT THE
CLOSURE OF THE GYM..
>> SURE.
>> AND THEN A GOOD CHUNK SAID
WORKING FROM HOME, THEY DIDN'T
HAVE THE MOTIVATION TO EITHER
STOP SNACKING OR GET ON THE
TREADMILL OR GO FOR A RUN.
AND THEY TURN AROUND AND SAY,
LOOK, 80% OF US WANT TO MAKE OUR
HEALTH A PRIORITY IN 2021.
>> I WONDERED IF THE LACK OF
COMMUTE WOULD HAVE FREED UP A
LITTLE MORE TIME FOR PEOPLE.
IF YOUR NORMAL COMMUTE IS 45
MINUTES, AND MAYBE YOU TAKE A
LUNCH BREAK, SOME OF THOSE
THINGS.
THE REALITY IS, THOUGH, AS
YOU KNOW, HEATHER, A LOT OF THAT
TIME SAVING GOT SWALLOWED UP
WITH TRYING TO HELP THE KIDS.
>> EVERYTHING ELSE.
>> FIGURING OUT HOW TO LOG ON TO
SCHOOL AND THE DIFFERENT
TECHNOLOGY ISSUES OR HOME
SCHOOLING.
ALL OF THAT.
>> AND I WONDERED THIS THE
ENTIRE TIME.
I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHAT THE
WE KNOW PEOPLE DO NOT GET ENOUGH
SLEEP.
AND WE HAVE KNOWN THIS FOR A
LONG TIME.
I DO WONDER IF SOME OF THAT,
THAT COMMUTE TIME, WAS ALLOWING
PEOPLE TO SLEEP A LITTLE MORE.
MAYBE THEY WEREN'T SLEEPING
BETTER AT NIGHT TIME.
>> WE SEE IT --.
>> IN THE TV, PEOPLE ARE
WATCHING AND WATCHING LATER ON
IN THE DAY.
WATCHING MID-MORNING.
THANK YOU.
>> YES.
THIS PROGRAM APPRECIATES YOU
SLEEPING MORE.
YOU CAN SLEEP AS LONG AS YOU
WANT.
JUST TURN THIS ON.
NOW MY EARLY-MORNING PROGRAM
WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD
GO BACK TO WAKING UP AT 4:30.
THAT'S THE REALITY.
HOW DO YOU FEEL WHETHER YOU LOOK
AT YEAR?
I FEEL SORT OF RELATIVELY
UNCHANGED, TO TELL YOU THE
TRUTH.
>> I WILL SAY EARLY ON, THE
EATING HABITS, WHEN WE WERE
REALLY AT HOME AND -- THAT WAS
TOUGH.
AND THEN AFTER A WHILE, YOU
SORT OF REALIZE, OKAY -- AND
THIS WORD, THIS PHRASE OF "NEW
NORMAL," IT CAN BE FRUSTRATING.
YOU HAVE TO REALIZE, OKAY, I GOT
TO GET A HANDLE ON THIS AND A
GRIP ON THIS.
THIS IS WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE
LIKE FOR A WHILE.
AND I GOT BACK INTO ACTION
THERE.
>>> DO YOU HAVE A HARD TIME
TELLING WHAT PEOPLE ARE THINKING
OR FEELING WHEN THEY'RE WEARING
A MASK?
I'M SMILING AT YOU GUYS ALL THE
TIME UNDER THE MASK.
I FEEL LIKE A DOOFUS.
A NEW STUDY BY THE UNIVERSITY OF
WISCONSIN SHOWS THAT KIDS ARE,
TO A CERTAIN DEGREE, STILL ABLE
TO READ EMOTIONS THROUGH THE
MASK.
IT'S NOT GREAT, HEATHER.
>> IT'S NOT.
BUT THIS IS THIS IDEA FOR KIDS
THAT HAVE BEEN IN SCHOOL, MAYBE
IN THE HYBRID MODEL, AND
IN DAY CARES, THEY WOULDN'T BE
ABLE TO EMOTIONALLY DEVELOP IN A
WAY.
WHEN YOU TALK TO KIDS, THEY TAKE
SO MUCH FROM YOUR FACIAL
GESTURES AND HOW YOU REACT IN
THERE.
AND THE PSYCHOLOGISTS SHOWED
THEM PHOTOS.
IT'S NOT THE -- THERE YOU GO.
IT'S NOT -- THERE GOES THE SAD
FACE.
THE FEARFUL FACE.
AND THE ANGRY FACE.
>> I WOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN THESE
RIGHT.
>> I MEAN, I WOULD HAVE BEEN
LIKE, SAD?
>> WHICH IS WHICH?
WHICH ONE IS THE SAD FACE?
.
>> I WOULD HAVE SAID THE GUY ON
THE LEFT.
AND THEN THE GUY ON THE
MIDDLE --.
>> THE ANGRY IS THE MIDDLE.
>> AND SURPRISE FOR THE RIGHT?
>> FEAR.
THAT'S FEAR.
>> OKAY.
>> THEY WERE GIVEN SIX CHOICES.
I DON'T KNOW.
IF I DIDN'T HAVE THE CUES
OF THE ABOVE AND THE BELOW, I
DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD HAVE
GOTTEN THE FAR LEFT.
THAT LOOKS THOUGHTFUL.
IT'S KIND OF -- I DON'T
KNOW.
.
>> IT'S HARD.
>> IT IS.
>> HERE'S WHAT THE KIDS FOUND.
SO THE CHANCE IF YOU JUST
RANDOMLY CHOOSE ONE OF THE SIX
CHOICES WOULD BE 17%.
WHEN THE FACES WERE NOT COVERED,
TWO-THIRDS OF KIDS GOT IT.
AND YOU BRING IT DOWN AND YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT THE SADNESS ONE,
LIKE ONE-QUARTER OF THE KIDS.
ANGER, ONE-QUARTER.
THE FEAR, THE ONE WE HAD A
HARDER TIME WITH, THAT WAS 18%
OF KIDS GETTING THAT ONE.
THAT WAS CLOSER TO CHANCE.
>> IT'S HARD LOOKING AT THE
IMAGES.
THE REAL WORLD --.
>> I WOULD BE MUCH BETTER.
>> IT'S NOT ALL HERE.
IT'S IN YOUR BODY..
>> MY KIDS KNOW HOW I'M FEELING
WITHOUT LOOKING AT MY FACE.
THEY CAN HEAR IT.
>> YEAH.
>> IT'S TRUE, THOUGH.
MINE, THEY CAN TELL BY THE SOUND
OF MY VOICE.
THEY'RE THREE.
THAT'S WHAT WE WORK ON AND
STUFF.
ARE YOU HAPPY, SAD?
>> ARE YOU CRYING, MOM, AGAIN?
>> AGAIN?
IT IS IMPORTANT, THOUGH, THAT
KIDS UNDERSTAND THE RANGE OF
EMOTIONS.
THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE
RESEARCH.
THE IDEA OF SAYING, ALL RIGHT,
IF WE TAKE AWAY PART OF THE
FACE, IS THAT ESSENTIALLY LIKE
COVERING ONE EYE OF A CHILD AND
BLINDING THEM IN A WAY TO THE
VARIOUS RANGE OF EMOTIONS?
AND I SUPPOSE THIS IS
ENCOURAGING WHERE YOU THINK,
WELL, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT TOO
MUCH.
>> IT WAS INTERESTING WHEN MY
KIDS STARTED PRE-K AT THE
BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, THE
TEACHER, WE MET HER OVER ZOOM.
SHE SAID I WANT TO TAKE THE MASK
OFF OVER ZOOM SO SHE CAN SEE
WHAT MY FACE LOOKS LIKE.
SHE CAN'T SEE MY FACE.
IT STRUCK ME AT THE MOMENT.
SHE WAS RIGHT.
AND SHE'S GREAT.
SHE'S DOING GREAT.
YEAH.
