He no longer requires medication to control his blood pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>York has 30 pounds to go to meet his weight-loss goal. He is determined to achieve that milestone through diet, a healthy sleep routine, and exercise \u2014 without obesity medications. He trains on a Carol bike, a stationary bicycle that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create pockets of resistance to amp up his workout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Malia Stout<\/strong>, administrative assistant in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wilmu.edu\/technology\/indext.aspx\">College of Technology<\/a> and the assistant bowling coach, said York sets a good example for bowling team members in taking a multi-pronged approach to wellness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCoach York takes his commitment to fitness seriously, and technology is helping him to stay on track and reach his goals,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John York, head coach of Wilmington University\u2019s Bowling team, is a manager in the technology department at Giant Foods.
