6B Daily News – Wednesday, January 15, 2014 Top fitness trends for 2014 If you're one of the many people who made a New Year's resolution to up the ante on your health and fitness, take a look below at what experts believe will be 2014's biggest fitness trends in the Los Angeles area. From virtual personal trainers to a new variation of SUP Yoga, these trends could help you in whatever fitness resolutions you take on. A NEW VARIATION OF SUP YOGA Stand-Up Paddleboard (SUP) Yoga may have been a popular fitness trend in 2013, but this year you won't have to get into the water to get the same kind of workout. The Indo Yoga Board, developed by Hunter Joslin, is a 6-foot-long board on four rockers that provides the same instability as SUP Yoga, requiring you to engage your muscles even more than traditional yoga in order to keep your balance. With classes already on the East Coast, Indo Yoga Board is making its debut in Los Angeles this month with a class at Yoga Loft in Manhattan Beach. Or you can purchase the board for home use for about $375. H.I.I.T. High-intensity interval training continues to be a popular exercise method this year. H.I.I.T. sessions can last four to 30 minutes with short, intense bursts of cardio followed by a period of recovery. In October, the American College of Sports Medicine said H.I.I.T.would be 2014's top fitness trends. The P90X and Insanity workouts, which were popular the last couple years, are good examples of this form of exercise. Christine Bullock, a Los Angeles fitness, nutrition and wellness expert whose DVD "10 Minute Solution: Butt Lift" was released in 2013, says H.I.I.T. is popular because people's busy lifestyles leave them wanting a quick but effective workout. Cyrus agrees — many of Crunch's classes are now this style of workout — citing the popularity of CrossFit has made an impact on programming for gyms and personal trainers. She also notes a popular H.I.I.T. workout is Jillian Michael's 32-1 interval system, which is a 24-minute workout mixing two minutes of strength, two minutes of cardio and one minute of abs. COMBO CLASSES Both Cyrus and Bullock were quick to mention the trend of combo classes, where 60-minute classes are divided into two different styles of workout. Particular classes that are becoming popular are those that include indoor cycling. Cyrus notes the various spin studios that have continued popping up have increased people's awareness of the benefits of spin. One such studio is Kimberly Fowler's Yas Fitness Centers, which now has locations from Silver Lake to Costa Mesa. Fowler is considered the first person to combine spin and yoga into a hybrid class. Other popular combination classes include yoga and TRX, yoga and weights, or spin and weights. CLEAN EATING Clean eating, a popular hashtag on Instagram and Twitter, is a simple concept based on eating foods at their purest form, says Bullock. "While there's no hard and fast definition, clean eating is a very simple concept: Eat real, wholesome food unprocessed, while avoiding processed and fast foods packed with added ingredients that compromise the health," Bullock says. For instance, Bullock says if you're a "clean eater" you would choose a fresh orange over processed orange juice or quinoa instead of white flour. Nothing is off limits and it's not about counting calories, and because of this, Bullock says the trend isn't going anywhere. "Eating clean has come full circle from times before technology made everything available to us, to the times when we had to eat off the land and eat in-season foods. Eating clean is trending in response to our need for better health," she explains. Cyrus also believes this is a trend that will stay.She thinks its popularity is due to people becoming more savvy with diets and also because healthy body sizes, rather than skin and bones, is the look more desirable in today's society. "Super, super skinny is not what people are looking for anymore, they want muscle tone," Cyrus explains. VIRTUAL FITNESS CLASSES Group fitness classes and personal trainers are nothing new, but in today's technologyobsessed world, you can do it virtually, either at the gym or in the privacy of your own home. Live-skype training is available from many instructors, like Mary Helen Bowers, who trained Natalie Portman for her role in "Black Swan" and also trains many Victoria Secret models. Bowers, who is based in New York, offers Ballet Beautiful virtual group training or personal instruction. There are many types of virtual classes available, but you can also get virtual personalized fitness routines, says Bullock. "After speaking with you via email or phone, qualified personal trainers customize a workout program for you based on your individual goals and level," Bullock says. "Because technology has made the world a much smaller place, trainers give plenty of motivation via emails, texts and phone calls to keep you on track." Bullock says these virtual instructors are particularly good for people who need the flexi- bility of when they can do the class. She also says many of the trainers keep the cost to a minimum and if you don't like the class, you can just turn it off. Anytime Fitness already has a program called Fitness on Request, which is a 24-hour kiosk providing virtual classes at the gym. The gym is currently in a pilot phase of a new program called Les Mills Virtual classes. Video versions of five classes (BodyPump, , BodyCombat, BodyFlow,, CXWorx, Sh'Bam) led by professional instructors will be available 24 hours a day at 10 Anytime Fitness locations. The classes are screened on a projector with a sound system to provide the feeling of a real group exercise experience. Though not currently available in Los Angeles, Anytime Fitness' Director of Exercise Programming Shannon Fable says that once it is fully rolled out, it will be available for any club that already has Fitness on Request. FUN GROUP CLASSES Fun workouts are always trending because they help take people's minds off the fact they are actually working out. One such class is Crunch's Pound program which brings out your inner rock star while working up a sweat. Using weighted drum sticks, participants use the floor as their drum in a variety of movements, hitting it to the rhythm of the music. "It's a lot of fun and people feel like rock stars afterward and they forget how hard they're working," Cyrus says. "It's like nothing else in fitness right now, but it's doing really well." Another fun workout is Equinox's Tread & Shred class which looks similar to OK, Go's music video for their song "Here it Goes Again" where the band does a choreographed routine using treadmills. Equinox's Tread & Shred class uses the treadmill to do more than just walk or run. Participants do a variety of exercises aimed at strengthening, balancing and toning, including side shuffles, backwards running, and more. The class, and its West Hollywood and Beverly Hills instructor David Siik, werefeatured by Huffington Post in October. 10 recipe apps to help you cook up memorable meals They said the kitchen was the last bastion of the book; that water-phobic, grease-shy computers would never penetrate its steamy walls. Well, they were wrong; last year a survey by the recipe website allrecipes.com found that 44% of respondents claimed digital media was their cooking resource of choice – and I have to admit, I'm among them. I do still love my enormous cookbook collection; tablets don't tend to take so kindly to being splattered with tomato sauce, but they do have certain advantages. For a start, the cleverest apps take on the boring bits of cooking: doing the maths to scale up that lasagne for four to feed a party of six, for example, and then making a shopping list. Many of them will even sync across devices, so the list on your tablet will also pop up on your smartphone in the supermarket. Best of all is the interactivity; puzzled by exactly how fine finely diced carrots are, or indeed the quickest way to produce them?

Just remember to wash your hands first. 1) Saveur magazine iOS, Android free Or, in fact food magazines in general: our very own British – and delicious – Olive, Jamie and BBC Good Food all have their own apps, but the real treat for me is flicking through my favourite glossy American food titles without having to pay for transatlantic postage. Sweet potato pie, here I come. 2) How to Cook Everything Essentials iOS free Mark Bittman, a James Beard award-winning former New York Times food columnist, provides 2,000 recipes for everything from a basic tomato sauce to octopus with tomatoes and red wine, plus cross-referenced advice on equipment and techniques. Unlike some American apps, this is happily fully metric. 3) Great British chefs iOS Windows free One of my favourite websites LEGAL NOTICE NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF BEVERLY JUNE GORDON comes in a variety of stylish mobile forms (including a great cooking with kids version) and includes recipes from some of the country's finest chefs, beautifully photographed. It also includes a handy shopping list function so you don't forget the fleur de sel or the tonka beans. 4) Paprika iOS, Android $4.99 Replace that sheaf of recipes fluttering forlornly from the fridge magnet with this clever electronic manager, which collates all that inspiration in one place. Features include built-in timers, a screen lock so it doesn't switch off in the middle of something and seamless cloud sync across devices. 5) myfitnesspal iOS, Android free An invaluable free resource for anyone who overdid it at Christmas; with over three million foods in their database (some entries are more reliable than others), it's a handy way to keep track of the calories. Though I wish I didn't know that 1tsp olive oil contains 40 of the damn things. Jamie's embraced the digital revolution with characteristic enthusiasm; his free app gives you 10 recipes and six videos every month, while subscribers can download collections like money-saving meals. Great interactive photos and tips – though slightly unnerving to have Jamie piping up from nowhere. 7) The perfect egg timer iOS, Android $.99 Even food writers aren't always on the ball at breakfast time. This unashamedly simple app, which also comes in a steak version, takes into account temperature, altitude and egg diameter to guarantee you your perfect egg, every time. Genius. 8) Modernist cuisine at home iOS $79.99 OK, so this gorgeous paean to cutting-edge cuisine doesn't come cheap, but bear in mind the book's a cool £100, and this has 260 more fiendishly precise recipes and 359 more stunning photos, plus videos, recipe scaling and a shopping list function, and suddenly it seems like quite good value really. 9) The Good Fish Guide iOS, Android free If you can never remember whether eating sea bream will see you eternally damned to environmental hell, then this Marine Conservation Society app should salve your conscience considerably. Almost every fish you're likely to come across in this country is classified as either an eat, or an avoid. No excuses. 10) Riverford veg recipes iOS free Those who started the year vowing to eat more greens will find this excellent app from the organic vegbox scheme a godsend. It includes nearly 800 recipes, plus storage and preparation tips and a surprisingly fun fruit (veg?) machine-style search tool children will love. CASE NO. 15018 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of BEVERLY JUNE GORDON A Petition for Probate has been filed by Thomas E. Gordon in the Superior Court of California, County of TEHAMA THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Thomas E. Gordon be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: January 27, 2014 at 1:30 p.m. in Dept. 1 located at 633 Washington Street, P.O. Box 310, Red Bluff, CA 96080 If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code section 9100. The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above. You may examine the file kept by the court.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.
