    Business / LIfestyle

    5 Ways To Stay Safe At The Gym During The Pandemic
    craigsotherlistyahoo-com July 7, 2021
    4 Min Read

    Things are almost back to normal, but not everything. That’s why you still need to stay safe, even when you’re working out. After all, not everyone has a home gym.

    If you’ve started going back to the gym, you may still want to practice safety and hygiene protocols to guard against COVID-19. But how?

    This article is going to lay out some easy steps you can follow to stay safe while you exercise at the gym.

    How To Practice Social Distancing At The Gym

    Here are some steps based on health guidelines you need if you want to stay safe in the gym amid the pandemic.

    First of all, you may be subjected to new rules at many gyms. For instance, some may check your temperature to make sure it’s under 100.4, which is considered to be a fever.

    Also, you may have that some group activities like basketball and spas, the swimming pool may be closed for now.

    If you do decide to go to the gym here are some things to do:

    1. Go To The Gym During A Time That Is Less Busy

    If you can, try to go to the gym during an off-peak period. This may be early in the morning or late in the evening.

    In either case, you want to choose a time where the gym is not packed with people. 

    2. Bring Your Own Towel And Disinfectant

    If you frequent the gym before the COVID-19 pandemic, you knew that they may have already had a rigorous sanitation process. Well, now it’s been kicked up a bit.

    But that’s no excuse not to take your health and hygiene in your own hands. Bring your own towel and disinfectant to the gym so you don’t have to rely on the facility’s products.

    3. Wear A Face Mask

    Health officials continue to tell us to wear a mask or face covering when we’re out in public. Going to the gym is no different.

    Choose a mask that you can breathe in even while exercising. This will allow you to catch your breath while staying protected from droplets in the air. Here’s how to make a mask or face covering.

    4. Keep Your Social Distance

    Social distancing is something that will be easier if you go to the gym when not a lot of people are there, as was mentioned earlier.

    If you can stay 6 feet away from the next person, you can enjoy your workout. Look for equipment and workout machines that are far away from other people relatively speaking. Here’s your social distancing guide.

    5. Wipe Down Your Equipment Before And After Use

    Before you get on a machine, make sure you wipe it down with a soap and water solution. Once you finish with the equipment, wipe it down again. 

    This is extremely important in a gym, which may have surfaces that need cleaning every few minutes because of the sweaty clientele.

    Final Thought

    Going to the gym doesn’t have to be a total departure from what you’re used to. But there are simply some other health measures you have to take.

    Think about it: The reason why you’re going to the gym n the first place is because of your health, so it shouldn’t be a big deal.

  • Evander Holyfield statue in downtown Atlanta, Georgia at State Farm Arena
    Business

    Statue Of Evander Holyfield Unveiled At State Farm Arena In Atlanta
    craigsotherlistyahoo-com June 25, 2021
    4 Min Read

    The Champ has been immortalized with a new statue in downtown Atlanta. Boxer Evander Holyfield’s bust was unveiled at a ceremony on Friday, June 25, 2021.

    Holyfield, 58, was on hand along with sports tycoon Arthur Blank, owner of the Blank Family of Businesses, who presented the statue to him.

    Evander Holyfield Statue Unveiled In Downtown Atlanta

    Holyfield credited his mother and the local Boys Club in his hometown with helping him turn into the man he is today.

    He said a trophy he won earlier made a big difference in his life. “The Boys Club gave me the opportunity to become who I am. They had a boxing program. I didn’t really like boxing, but since I won that trophy, when I brought that trophy home and found out that my Mama liked trophies,” he said.

    Holyfield joins Atlanta Hawks great Dominique Wilkins as the two legendary sports figures with busts in downtown Atlanta’s State Farm Arena.

    The Holyfield statue was commissioned by the City of Atlanta in 2017. Sculptor Brian Hanlon designed it and it was in storage for all that time due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But now, it has seen the light of day.

    To know why the statue is important for Atlanta as well as Holyfield, one has to know his history.

    Evander Holyfield: History Of Greatness

    Holyfield was born in in 1962 in Atmore, Alabama. He had eight other siblings.

    Holyfield rose to fame after he won the bronze medal at the at the 1984 Summer Olympics. At age 21, he won his first world championship by defeating Dwight Muhammad Qawi for the WBA title. 

    Holyfield fought as a heavyweight to get a shot at undisputed champ Mike Tyson in 1989, but in a shock to the world, Buster Douglas took the title.

    One year later in October 1990, an overweight Douglas lost to Holyfield in an easy contest for the Atlanta resident.

    In 1996, Holyfield would finally meet Tyson in the ring, beating him in an 11th round TKO. Because the fight didn’t unify the belts, the two met again in a rematch.

    “The Bite Fight” went down in history as an outrageous affair, which ended in Tyson biting off a chunk of Holyfield’s ear.

    After several comebacks, Holyfield officially retired in 2014, the same year his iconic mansion was purchased by another Atlanta celebrity. Read on to learn more about that.

    The Holyfield Mansion

    The Holyfield Mansion is an Atlanta landmark that has become a tourist attraction for passersby. Officially in Fayetteville County, Georgia, the home is on Evander Holyfield Highway.

    How Big Is The Holyfield Mansion?

    The Holyfield Mansion is the largest home in Georgia. It spans 44,234 square feet and sits on 105 acres. As for the rooms in the home, there are109 of them, including, a 135-seat theater, spa, a bowling alley and more.

    Who Owns Holyfield’s Mansion In Atlanta?

    Rapper and businessman Rick Ross purchased the Holyfield Mansion in 2014 for $10 million. The home was set to be foreclosed on when Ross stepped in to purchase it.

    Final Thoughts

    From humble beginnings in Alabama, to worldwide fame, Holyfield has experienced it all.

    Holyfield is an Atlanta legend and one of the best sports figures that city has ever had. The Holyfield Mansion remains the swankiest home in the Southeast.

    • Support for HBCUs, the NAACP or anti-hunger initiative with Goodr by rounding up loose change from all in-store or online purchases you make with Greenwood Bank.

    Final Words

    While it’s clear that Greenwood Bank won’t have physical branches when it launches, the goal of the proprietors is to eventually have at least some brick-and-mortar locations. But that remains to be seen.

    Saving money has historically been a pain point for lower-income Americans and specifically, people of color. Here are three easy ways to make your finances work.

    With so many initial signups, they may decide that Greenwood Bank may be best operated as a digital bank.

    Rick Ross, who owns several Wingstop franchises in metro Atlanta, recently filmed a promo outside his mansion. Ross the Boss says due to a shortage in chicken wings, his businesses have pivoted to selling chicken thighs.

    Wingstop Launches Thighstop Amid Wing Shortage

    The Texas-based company launched “Thighstop,” a virtual restaurant that will serve up crispy chicken thighs, on Monday, June 21, 2021.

    Wingstop CEO Charlie Morrison addressed a growing chicken shortage earlier this year, telling shareholders they can expect more tightening of the market in the months to come.

    “The pandemic has caused challenges to be able to staff plants to be able to slaughter enough chickens to be able to meet the demands of the marketplace. And I think that’s seen everywhere. I mean, the price of chicken across the board is high, especially high for wings,” Morrison said on an earnings call.

    Now the company is going all-in on Thighstop, with Ross leading the way.

    “We’re excited to bring Thighstop to the masses in a way that’s familiar and convenient to consumers by providing the option of delivery or carryout through our delivery partner DoorDash,” Morrison says in a news release.

    Truth be told, many customers may prefer thighs to wings because they give you more meat and are just as easy to handle.

    Velvet Taco Opening At The Interlock In Atlanta

    Velvet Taco has been a welcome addition to Atlanta’s restaurant scene after establishing itself in Charlotte, North Carolina and Austin, Texas.

    “It is a great honor to have Velvet Taco open doors in The Interlock in West Midtown, where the restaurants are known to heavily exceed the industry standard and guests have high expectations,” Velvet Taco CEO Clay Dover says in a news release. “It is our mission to take the humble, well-loved taco and use the tortilla as a blank canvas for any courageous, adventuring foodie’s desires.”

    Diners can expect hand-crafted tortillas, slow-cooked meat and hand-made sauces that are as creative as they are tasty.

    “As someone who lives in the city, I have watched the West Midtown neighborhood grow into a high intensity, exhilarating place full of all types of people looking for a new experience,” said Velvet Taco at The Interlock General Manager Tanesha Blake, an Atlanta resident. “Including Velvet Taco in West Midtown’s notable restaurant lineup is like adding a missing puzzle piece.”

    Velvet Taco is one of many fast-casual eateries that have opened in metro Atlanta over the past few years.

    The craze hasn’t escaped metro Atlanta’s  food and drink scene, which has seen a bar explosion in recent years.
