We have a crew at the forum at we have a crew at the forum at Morris College in sumter. Democratic president ial candidate Bernie Sanders is no longer in the palmetto state. He is now taking his campaign to missouri and oklahoma. He held a News Conference earlier this morning in columbia. He said that he is not writing off the state. Saying he will win some states and lose others, but that he is in the race to win. The Democratic Candidates are making their final pushes this week to win over voters. At last nights cnn town hall in columbia, voters had a chance to see a different, more personal side to the candidates. Some in the audience say the town hall was a Good Opportunity for the candidates to sway voters but for others, they say it only solidified their choice. I think it was a wonderful opportunity for everyone to see how much of a personality senator sanders has. I think sometimes because of the tenure that secretary clinton has had in public life being first lady, being a senator, having so many different roles, sometimes its hard to see layers of titles and i think last night was an opportunity to see just that. This was the last town hall before democratic voters head to the polls on saturday. With his Third Straight win last night at the nevada caucuses some are questioning whether any of the candidates are going to be able to catch up to donald trump. Were here with sam bleiweis to tell us more. Experts say its still early in the race. Taking a look at the delelete count a gop candidate needs one thousand two hundred and thirty seven delegates to become the nominee. Trump currently has 81 after a big win in South Carolina, taking all 50, and another double digit delegate win in nevada last night. Both rubio and cruz are tied with 17 delegates. Kasich is second to last with 6 delegates. Carson comes in last with 4 delegates. Strategic move would be for either cruz or rubio to drop out of the race, allowing unlikely. Theres a large chunk of delegates at stake next its 595, which is about a 4th of the total number of delegates that are in play in the states on march 1st. And if he does as well in those states as it appears hes going to, where polling shows that most of the states even in texas hes within one or two Percentage Points of cruz, then the math becomes such that it almost looks inevitable. Another point oldendick makes as we look ahead to a debate tomorrow night he says he thinks cruz and rubio will continue to go after each other to get that last alternative spot rather than taking on trump. He says no matter what seems to be thrown trumps way it works out to his advantage. He says on the momentum he already has garnered.

Palmetto Health Richland went on a nearly 9thousand dollar shopping spree to fill the playrooms at childrens spital with brand new toys. Allie spillyards was along for the ride and joins us in studio. In addition to their child life specialists, childrens brought along a few shopping experts. I got the privilege of tagging along w wh 5yearold cancer survivor zoe as she took on the all important task of filling childrens playrooms with toys every patient will enjoy. Together with another childrens patient, zoe hand selected toys that were would be safe for kids of all ages. They got this opportunity through a 75hundred grant from walmart, because one of its road managers credits Palmetto Health with saving his now 17 year old daughters life when she was an infant. State farm and the Solomon Law Group stepped in with an additional 15hundred dollar donation. Meaning zoe got to pick out a whole lot of playdoh, legos and my little ponies for her fellow patients. Sometimes when they feel the yuckit, and they do not want to get out of bed and its evevething we can do to get them to wake up and sit up in bed, if we have the right thing in the playroom, that can get them to sit up in bed for the first time to come down and play. Through that play, fink says kids process, learn and cope, which helps them make aaignificant step forward in their healing process. To tell you how significant this contribution is, fink is more than childrens is normally allotted to spend in its playrooms each year. Its day 14 of 50 days to 50 years and to keep rowing right through the 50 workouts leading up to turning 50, i chose a workout at muv fitness on a row machine. 00 10 28 36 1 00 1 10 youre going to come from the hip is where youre going to get your extension. And all your work is coming from right there. This is your rest time. Work. Rest. Exhale. Inhale. Personal trainer and conditioning coach keith hare put me on a row machine at muv fitness in forest acres. Keith says learning proper technique is key to getting the maximum benefit. A lot of people will just pull it without that pull range. Now youre coming all the way through and youre extending from the hip. You want to hinge extra extension. You want to bend the legs and youre going to drive through the legs. The rowing puts a lot of muscles into action so the aerobic benefit is high which means the caloriesburned count also is up there. If youre going for like 20 or 30 minutes, its going to be about pacing yourself. But if youre going for a sprint which is like 500 meter row, youre going to go for speed. Thats going to be your work. And thats going to be your recover. Not only is this a full body workout, but its a full body aerobic exercise. Youre going to feel this on the top of your legs, in your legs, your lower back, and your upper back because now youre working that upper back with that pull. And the drive is coming from your legs. Rowing also gives you a nice stretch in the hamstrings. Plus, its very doable despite a cast. Youre not putting a lot of pressure on your foot and youre still able to get in your exercise and thats whats most important. Getting our backs in shape for summer. That is where youre working. This upper back. Her back is nice and toned. Here and lower effort. This made for a breathtaking pun intended sprint to the finish.
