11 Aug 2010 BY Katrina Tarrant POSTED IN Exercise Compression Exercise Gear - Are there really any Benefits? With the running and fun run season in full swing, I have noticed an increasing trend for both girls and guys to wear compression gear under their running shorts. I have often wondered what the evidence suggests in the benefits of doing so. I came across this article reviewing recent studies from highly reputable Medical and Sports Journals. It is always helpful and safer reviewing all of the literature currently available in an unbiased look and I feel that this author has done quite a good job. All in all, it looks like the jury is still out on the compression gear's manufacturer's claims of "less injury risk and better performance", but then again, there are no detrimental effects in wearing the gear and many anecdotal reports from athletes on experiencing less muscle soreness after exercise. Happy reading. http://www.amateurendurance.com/injury-topics/compression-gear-fact-vs-fiction/

11 Aug 2010 BY Katrina Tarrant POSTED IN Back Pain, Exercise Stretches and wellbeing when on those Business Trips I know that a lot of you spend much of your time travelling for work. This means long flights, stiff backs, poor sleep patterns and a general lack of routine. This can be hard on the body and the mind. This May 2010 newspaper article form the NY Times desribes the changing face of some American airports with mediation and yoga practice rooms, and walking tracks inside the terminals of some airports for facilitation of exercise. An interesting concept that could catch on and certianly has its positives. If you can follow the yoga stretch instructions at the conclusion of the article, these are good inflight stretches to prevent or ease back and neck pain. Remember that even a little exercise will help in those travel times away from home. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/06/business/06YOGA.html?ref=nutrition
