June 19, 2020

With the success of Burnsville, Fargo, Eden Prairie, Blaine and Woodbury, Conquer Ninja Gyms will soon launch another Warrior Gym at in Queen Creek. Since the foundation of the Conquer Ninja Gyms in 2015, countless people have had the opportunity to train with complete freedom. In essence, all of the gym locations still share the vision of Jake Marshman, who is an avid supporter and participant of spartan tough mudder and spartan race.

The truth is that Eden Prairie was just the tip of the iceberg, Conquer Ninja Gyms want to convey new ideas and offerings to local communities for better health, and better living. Apart from training classes, the new gym will also offer birthday parties with a certain degree of social distancing protocols. The same rules will apply to summer camps. It is a chance to drive the boredom away and enjoy an unforgettable summer. There is a good chance that Arizona may just become a new prime location for Conquer Nina Gyms.

The all-new Conquer Ninja Warrior Gilbert space will adhere to new safety guidelines. Furthermore, the Gilbert Gym will also abide by updated cleaning protocols to maintain complete safety for the gym enthusiasts. Prior to the launch of the new Conquer Ninja Gym Gilbert location, all the relevant and safety regulations are in place. In fact, it will have a limited space to conduct classes for no more than 10 aspiring ninja warriors. The design and structure of the facility cater to the needs of the families. It is ideal for kids who are older than five (5) years.

Simultaneously, there will be 30 minutes of break after each class or gym session for cleaning. Hand sanitization and washing is also mandatory for everyone. Furthermore, Conquer Ninja Gym Gilbert will go through rigorous screening to ensure the safety of the participants. In addition, gym enthusiasts should take a sigh of relief by knowing that the new Conquer Ninja Gym Gilbert will have extra staff to maintain continuous disinfecting and cleaning.

What is interesting is that the new gym is still an open space so that you can train at your specific speed without any pressure. You can sign-up for classes and membership to further enhance your untapped ninja skills. The most defining aspect of all five Conquer Ninja Gym Warrior locations is their sense of communal participation. You will not feel left out but would be able to get the support you need to master your ninja skills. All guests can sign-up for the Conquer Ninja Gym Gilbert classes online. However, make sure you sign the waiver before you enter the new facility.

The new location could not be more ideal for families and individuals to come together and overcome their challenges. It is an opportunity to achieve the perfect fitness that is more important than ever. Contrary to misguided perception, kids need to learn that fitness is fun, not an exhausting activity. The professional teams at Conquer Ninja Warrior Gyms know how to imbue confidence, camaraderie, and strength among participants. So long as you have a positive attitude and willingness to work hard, you are in for a lot of fun. The new Gilbert location wants to represent more than just a fitness center; it wants to help you succeed and feel a sense of accomplishment. You can become a part of the new Ninja Warrior Gym Gilbert and build long-lasting character and skills.

Conquer Ninja Gyms are a chain of Ninja training facilities in North Dakota, Minnesota, and Arizona. The premier fitness and training facilities cater to the individuals who want to become a ninja warrior through an adventurous training schedule. The design of the gyms serves the purpose of kids and as well as adults. The diverse background of the professional trainers at Conquer Ninja Gyms helps participants realize their full potential.

The EMIG project is “the culmination of over eight years of dedicated work and diligence on the part of so many skilled AAGL members, surgeons and educators.” – Dr. Jubilee Brown, AAGL President

CYPRESS, Calif. (PRWEB)
June 19, 2020

On Thursday, June 18, 2020, the AAGL (American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists), the premier organization in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery with membership of over 8,000 physicians worldwide, announced publication of study results from a nationwide trial of the AAGL’s Essentials in Minimally Invasive Gynecology (EMIG). The full manuscript entitled “Essentials in Minimally Invasive Gynecology (EMIG) Manual Skills Construct Validation Trial” by Dr. Malcolm G. Munro, et al. has been published with open access online in the June 2020 edition of Obstetrics & Gynecology (the Green Journal), the official publication of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

The primary objective of the study was to establish or refute validity for the EMIG Manual Skills Construct by distinguishing novice residents in obstetrics and gynecology (PGY-1) from mid-training residents (PGY-3) during the first 100 days of their training year. Secondary aims included the ability to distinguish “proficient” (ABOG-certified without additional fellowship training) from “expert” practicing surgeons who had completed an accredited two-year fellowship in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (FMIGS).

The validation of EMIG skills is the result of a collaboration by the AAGL, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), and the Council on Resident Education in Obstetrics and Gynecology (CREOG) to develop a system for training in and evaluation of endoscopic surgical skills. EMIG is uniquely applicable to gynecologic trainees and is based upon rigorously applied psychometric principles.

Developed and funded by the AAGL, EMIG is comprised of a validated cognitive examination, an accompanying web-based didactic component that is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) for 10 AMA PRA Category 1 credits and a manual skills training and testing platform of hysteroscopic and laparoscopic exercises specific to gynecologic surgery.

Dr. Jubilee Brown, AAGL President, commented that the EMIG project is, “the culmination of over eight years of dedicated work and diligence on the part of so many skilled AAGL members, surgeons and educators.” She continued, “I am just one of a line of former AAGL Presidents who have supported this important work, and it is my honor and privilege to see it completed.” She also thanked ACOG Immediate Past President, Dr. Ted Anderson for his partnership in providing the ACOG Simulation Centers that were used in the skills validation trial. Dr. Anderson remarked: “In addition to basic laparoscopic skills, EMIG assesses cognitive and skills performance in hysteroscopy, which is unique to gynecologic surgery and absent in other surgical skills assessment platforms.” Dr. Brown also acknowledged Dr. Mark B. Woodland, immediate Past CREOG Chair for CREOG’s support throughout the development of this platform, who stated, “As surgical technology evolves, it is imperative to have formative evaluation processes and outcome measures for our gynecology surgeons in training. EMIG presents a validated pelvic simulation platform to assess a surgeon’s progress and technical competency and has the potential to set a new standard in the education of gynecologists.”

Team Novo Nordisk’s Benny Madrigal won the 15th annual American Diabetes Association (ADA) 5K@ADA Run/Walk in 15:43

“It was heart-warming to feel so connected with Team Novo Nordisk and the broader diabetes community this past weekend. We tracked each other’s results and motivated one another to get out and exercise,” said Phil Southerland.

ATLANTA (PRWEB)
June 19, 2020

Team Novo Nordisk, the world’s first all-diabetes professional cycling team, took home first and second place at the 15th annual American Diabetes Association (ADA) signature 5K@ADA Run/Walk event when American Benny Madrigal finished in 15:43 while Frenchman Romain Gioux came in nine seconds later.

“It was heart-warming to feel so connected with Team Novo Nordisk and the broader diabetes community this past weekend,” said Phil Southerland, Team Novo Nordisk CEO and Co-Founder. “All Team Novo Nordisk athletes, ambassadors, management, and staff participated in the event, and all weekend long, we tracked each other’s results and motivated one another to get out and exercise. It truly felt like we were together and that broader sense of connectivity is what we all need right now.”

For 15 years, the 5K@ADA has been an official event during ADA’s Scientific Sessions and has brought together tens of thousands of participants. Due to COVID-19, this year’s event transitioned into a virtual challenge. In total, 4,164 people ran and walked together from 89 different countries and 46 US states during the three-day event held June 12-14, 2020.

“2020 has been a dynamic and unprecedented year for everyone. The 5K@ADA Run/Walk allowed the diabetes community to come together despite our physical distances. Together, we were able to celebrate multiple milestones including ADA’s 80th Scientific Sessions and the 15th anniversary of Novo Nordisk’s 5K@ADA run/walk event,” said Southerland. “Alongside our amazing partner, Novo Nordisk, we ran and walked to showcase the value of physical exercise and how we are inspiring, educating and empowering everyone affected by diabetes. Together, we are improving the health of the world and creating the next generation of heroes for the diabetes community.”

The virtual event featured a multitude of interactive experiences, including training plans, a selfie station, and social media integration. Race organizers debuted new technology through their RunnerTag integration, which allowed participants to submit images complete with medals and finish line stickers. Nearly 3,000 photos were submitted by the 5K@ADA Community.

“A big thanks to ADA’s CEO Tracey Brown for the challenge and to Novo Nordisk’s CEO Lars Fruergaard for accepting my challenge. It was an honour to compete alongside these organizations and together we are Team Novo Nordisk and 43,000 strong,” emphasized Southerland.

Physical activity, including walking, is an important tool in diabetes management, which helps people living with diabetes lead healthier lives. For the more than 122 million Americans with diabetes and prediabetes, it takes perseverance to live with and manage their health on a daily basis. The 5K@ADA Virtual Challenge brought people together across the globe to emphasize the need for increased physical activity to help prevent diabetes and diabetes complications. This event provided participants with the opportunity to raise public awareness about the importance of a healthy lifestyle in preventing and managing diabetes.
