The Top 10 Workout Songs For Winter 2012

San Francisco, CA – Jan 11, 2012 – Traditionally, winter is the time of year when folks find it hardest to get out and exercise.  In the hopes of keeping folks motivated, readers from Run Hundred--the web's most heavily-trafficked site forworkout music--were  polled regarding their favorite, current workout songs.  The resulting top 10 list has a little of what you'd expect—and a little you might not.  Flo Rida, who's no stranger to this list, shows up in two recent tracks.  Enrique Iglesias continues his transition from balladeer to club rocker.  And Kelly Clarkson, after faltering with the first single off her new album, bounced back ferociously with the second.

As for surprises, they're mostly entries from folks relatively new on the dance scene.  Highlights include songs from Tim Berg (who remixed his own track under his Avicii moniker), Skrillex (whose collaboration with Kaskade is the first dubstep track ever the make the Top 10), and Wolfgang Gartner (who's made the chart with a little help from the Black Eyed Peas' Will.I.Am).

BACK PAIN EXERCISE

If you have back pain, I understand that your first thought is that you need to do something physical to get relief. It makes sense. And, in some cases, any physical activity - even light walking - can help reduce your pain.

Please note that I said "in some cases" physical activity can help. But most of the time, the term "back pain exercise" is an oxymoron. You see, there is no one set of exercises that falls under the heading: "For all conditions and for any person."

It just not possible that the same stretch or the same strengthening exercise can be helpful for different people with different conditions. If by chance it does help, you can thank your lucky stars, because it was just that - luck. If you searched the Internet for back pain exercise or were given a sheet of exercises that look similar to the ones below, please ask yourself, "Why do I need to be doing these exercises?" Let me just stop you now and say, "Do not do them." The reason is that they most likely are not going to be the correct ones for you and your condition. Why run the risk of making your condition worse?

Please understand what when I talk about proper exercising for back pain, I'm talking about very specific and very targeted exercise. I'm talking about stretches and exercises that work together to create a body that is more balanced and better able to work in away that takes the abnormal stress and strain off the back, hips, or pelvis. The ideas is to create an environment that allows the body to heal itself.

The only way to achieve a balanced body is to first determine whether your body is out of balance. This involves doing careful physical assessments on all the muscles that affect the stability of your hips, pelvis, and spine. In other words, you need to find out exactly how your muscles are out of balance - from both a strength and a flexibility perspective.

In the absence of these assessments, any exercise you do for your back puts you at risk of strengthening a muscle that does not need to be strengthened, which can make your imbalance worse. The same is true for stretching - if you stretch a muscle that does not need to be stretched, you could make your imbalance worse.

So, how do you find exercises that will work for you and for your condition? The first step is to have an open mind: You will need to acquire a basic understanding of how the human body works and what you can do to help yourself.

The second step is to take action. When I say take action, I mean doing your homework. This is the only way you can be sure you're doing the correct back pain exercises for your specific condition. Remember, you will first need to do physical assessments before starting any back pain exercises.

In fact, let me be blunt: NEVER use any exercise somebody gives you, and DO NOT buy any program that doesn't take into consideration your specific physical condition - EVER.

The third step is to make the commitment to do what's necessary to get relief and then to work toward achieving optimal health.

The principles of Muscle Balance Therapy™ can help you assess your individual muscle imbalances and design a targeted corrective program specifically for you.

GYM SELECTION TIPS

1) Towel Service

Towel service is one of the first things I look at when joining a gym. Think about it: if you go belong to a gym with towel service, it is more likely that it will be cleaner all-around because everyone has access to towel(s). They will be more likely to wipe up their sweat/mess or somebody elses because they can always just get a new clean towel. At a gym where people bring their own towels people might forget or not end up cleaning all their sweat off the last machine/bench/weights they just used. Another bonus about gyms with towel service is that they allow you to just drop your towels off when you're done, meaning you don't have to bring it home and wash it yourself. The convenience factor is huge, plus it is more likely that the gym you'll be in will be a cleaner one.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Weights in a weight room

When deciding on which gym to join, take a tour of the gym and pay special attention to the weight area(s). Look to see if there are loose weights (plates, barbells and/or free weights) on the floor. If there are, not only does it mean that nobody cleans up after themselves when they do their individual workouts, but the gym employees do not clean up the weight area either. Not only does it look messy, this is turn usually means that the weight area, in all of its sweat and stinky glory, rarely gets cleaned. Your chance or getting pink-eye or ringworm is that much higher, Hoo-Ray! I don't know about you, but that is not something that I look for in a gym. Find the more organized/cleaner gyms and join there, which will lower your chance of getting odd gym illnesses.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Locker Room Cleanliness

When you choose a gym, check out the locker room. Look in the showers. This is where cleanliness is most important in a gym, because germs are most easily transfered in a damp environment. In the workout areas, make sure there is no trash lying around. If it's dirty, move on and choose a health club with emphasis on "health."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Make A List

Trying to choose a gym to join? Make a shopping list. To help your gym selection, make a list of the things that are important to you, for instance, location, price, classes, swimming pool, hours, equipment, parking, child care, crowds, clientele, trainers, etc. List those items down the side of the page and the gyms across the top, then check off which ones have what features. You may find it's easier to choose a health club when you can see the alternatives in table form.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. Try It Out

If you want to choose a health club, try out your gym selection at the time of day you will be using it. Ask for a free pass, or pay if you have to. You can ask the members what they like about it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. Gym Convenience

Find a gym that is close to either where you live or where you work. If it is in a place that you have to drive far to get to, it is going to be harder to get yourself to visit the gym because it will not be as easily accessible. If you are the kind of person that likes to go home right after work, maybe finding a gym close to work so you can exercise before and have time to get ready works best for you. Regardless, your gym choice needs to be somewhere that is easy for you to get to, giving you a better chance to actually arrive there a few times a week.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7. Workout Clothes

Don't choose a gym where the staff tries to sell you pricey designer leotards. Inexpensive cotton workout clothing is acceptable in gyms, and more expensive gear doesn't improve your workout. If the staff tries to convince you otherwise, choose a health club where the emphasis is on fitness. If the members who are working out all seem to be wearing clothes you wouldn't be comfortable in, consider whether that would distract you, but don't feel you need to buy into their uniform. If you do want to wear the latest in workout clothes, go for it!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8. Health Screening

When you choose a health club, make sure they have a health screening procedure. Your gym should screen new members for heart disease, always have a CPR-certified staff member on duty, and have an emergency response plan. This is important if you have heart disease, or if you just want to make sure an expensive club does its job.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9. Get Right Equipment

When choosing a gym, see that they have the equipment you like to use. If you like free weights, make sure the area is big enough for several people to work out. If you want weight machines, make sure that your gym has them for all muscle groups. Be sure they have more than one of your favorite cardio machine.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10. Long-Term Membership

Finding a gym is a decision where a problem with commitment is actually good. In general, it's probably best not to buy a membership at a gym for more than a year or two. The gym may change or a better one may open closer to you. Be suspicious of "lifetime memberships" unless you think it's a really good deal. Keep your gym selection options open.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11. Older Members

Joining a gym is no longer just for the young. Most health clubs are now trying to attract members in older age groups. If you want to choose a health club where you can work out around people of your age (or sex, or size), ask the membership representative about demographics of their members, and when the group you're interested in tends to work out. As you work out more, you will be more comfortable exercising around other groups.
