Back pain can be a mysterious thing. Every time your feet hit the ground, the reacting shock is transferred up your legs to your hips and spine, and any biomechanical imbalance can ultimately cause lower back pain. Did you know that low back pain at some point in time will inflict over 80% of the population? Proper footwear can potentially prevent, reduce and treat biomechanical factors associated with low back pain in runners. It could be that you have flat feet, and your over pronation (rolling in of your feet) is causing your back ache. It could be that you have really high arched, rigid feet and the lack of pronation is causing your back pain. It could be that one of your legs is ever so slightly shorter than the other, or that your pelvis is just a tiny bit uneven or tilted. You could have a curve in your spine. More seriously, one of the discs between the vertebrae of your spine could be degenerating or arthritis is setting in. Back pain can be a tough mystery to solve, but with a little help from your friendly neighborhood sports medicine specialist you should be able to track down the cause. By far the most common diagnosis in patients with low back pain is the lumbar sprain/strain, which accounts for about 75% of all cases of low back pain. While muscle strain is the most common cause of back pain for runners, play it safe and visit a sports medicine orthopedist or a chiropractor to have your spine and vertebrae examined if you are experiencing severe pain. If you have ruled out all the worrisome spine issue, you may have an uneven pelvis or unequal leg lengths. These conditions are relatively common and can be ascertained with a good biomechanical exam. With either, the muscles on one side are being pulled. They're tense to begin with, and the added stress of running can put them into spasm. Relatively weak abdominal and lower back muscles might also contribute to the problem. Running generally tends to cause strength imbalances between these muscle groups. Add tight hamstrings, another common condition among runners, and you have a nifty recipe for back pain. Core strengthening exercises and a lot of stretching can help. Finally, the root cause is often in your foot, the last place most people look! Back pain is a common injury associated with flat feet and over pronation. Likewise, if your feet are rigid and high arched, their lack of stress relief and under pronation can cause stress imbalance resulting in back pain. For immediate relief, cut back on the mileage, moist heating pads, anti inflammatories like ibuprofen, and a good massage. If the problem is disc deterioration or spinal arthritis, surgery may be necessary, and an adjustment in training is absolutely required. Take this condition seriously, and see a spinal specialist. If your spine is merely out of alignment, manipulation by a chiropractor or physical therapist may help ease your pain. This may also ease your muscle strain. If your doctor confirms that you have an uneven pelvis or unequal leg lengths, the solution will likely be to try to correct the problem with a heel lift on the short side. This may be as simple as putting a piece of 1/4" foam or cork into the heel of your running shoe. If you don't get any relief at all within a week, go ahead and take the lift out. If it does no good, its better just not to wear one; your body may have adjusted to different leg lengths, and "fixing" it may cause more discomfort. Whatever the case, make sure that the remedy matches the problem; do not use a heel lift if your doctor does not confirm that you have an uneven pelvis or unequal leg lengths, or you may only make your problems worse. If your problem is in the structure of your foot, your solution may be as simple as wearing different running shoes or adding orthotics to the mix. Shoes have been shown to lose almost 75% of their shock absorption after approximately 500 miles. This appears to be the critical point in which injuries tend to develop as a result of shoe wear. Thus it is important to have a rough idea how many miles are on your shoes and to replace them before soreness begins. If your shoes are not worn out, see your podiatrist for recommendations of shoe types and to see if an orthotic will help decrease the biomechanical strain causing your back pain. . In most cases of lower back pain, you will benefit from exercises to strengthen your back and abdominal muscles. Back pain can be an indicator of a serious problem and can lead to a cascading injury that slows your running to a complete halt! Muscular back pain is the most common and can be annoying and complicated to treat due to the myriad of causes. If you have severe pain, seek medical attention immediately. If your pain is mild and seems to be directly related to your running, look to your feet as a possible contributor to you pain.

Read on, this is long, but worth it. These same principles apply for anyone that wants to gain musclenot just skinny/small people. First and foremost,you need to do strength training. If you want to gain weight, and don't want it to be fat, it needs to be muscle, and muscle growth is stimulated by training those muscles. Arm muscle looks fantastic, training glutes gives you an ass like no other, back muscles look sexy in backless dresses, and core will give you a rock solid foundation. Strength training is most effective with weights which is easy at a gym, but not so much at home. If you're at home, grab an empty gallon of milk and fill it with water, which will weigh about 8lbs. If you don't believe me that you won't get fat instead, I don't know how to convince you! I can, however show youthis girlwho gained 10 lbs of muscle while weight training and eating2500 caloriesa day. To reach this calorie goal, consider drinking a lot of milk, almond milk, or coconut milk instead of water. Liquid doesn't fill you up as much, and provides you healthy carbs, fats, and protein. Protein shakes and smoothies are amazing too. Snack on calorie dense foods. Eat nuts such as almonds, cashews, and peanuts throughout the day. Also try eating two tablespoons of peanut butter a few hours after every meal (it won't affect your hunger). Again, I'm not a professional anything, this is just what I've learned from experience and the internets. We all know running tends to burn a lot of calories. But if you throw in sprinting intervals, that's where the real burn begins. Science shows that sprinting can burn up to200 calories per 2.5 minutes. So next time you only have 20 minutes to get in your run, think about how much calories you could burn if you did sprint intervals. Go a little old school on your workout and grab a jump rope. Boxing is an intense full body workout. Got a little anger stored up? Punch out your feelings while burning those calories off. Boxing burns around225 calories for 30 min(based on 130 lbs weight). Swimming is already a great cardio workout that is easy on your joints. Rev up the speed throw in sprinting sets and you got a quick way to burn a lot of calories. Vigorous swimming can burn up to340 calories per 30 min. So next time you're trying to cram in a workout, getting wet might not be a bad idea. 3 Healthy, Mouthwatering Cookie Recipes Did you read that right? Healthy cookies? Yes, it's possible.

Air Jordan 10 Bulls Over Broadway,I'm a San Francisco Bay Area based independent journalist specializing in energy and the environment, with a focus on energy and climate policy. I've reported from France, Germany, Switzerland, and Denmark. For the 14 months leading up to COP15, I reported from Copenhagen for Monday Morning and the Copenhagen Climate Council. average price of diesel at $4 per gallon, companies that move goods and have not planned for $5 diesel risk seeing profit margins disappear. A new report written by Jason Mathers, Program Manager, Corporate Partnerships Program, in Environmental Defense Fund's Boston office, offers laggard CEOs a template to save fuel in their supply chains. The report presents best practices of companies, including giants Nike, Wal Mart, and IKEA, that are saving money and cutting carbon by devising creative ways to ship goods. The goal of Smart Moves (PDF), Mathers told me, was "to collect a whole bunch of stories that have been told individually, and to pull them together to paint a collective picture of action that companies could be taking with their distribution and logistics networks that will cut costs and will cut emissions." Aside from the threat to earnings, any CEO concerned about his or her company's carbon footprint must account for shipping's growing contribution to climate change, from the introduction: The global freight transportation and distribution system accounts for nearly three billion metric tons of heat trapping carbon emissions each year. That's equal to over 700 coal plants or the combined total global warming pollution from Japan, Germany, Canada and Mexico. Transportation accounts for 89 percent of the environmental footprint of supply chain logistics; warehousing and distribution take up the remaining 11 percent In the United States alone, emissions from freight are projected to increase 74 percent from 2005 to 2035. China is expected to increase its use of freight transportation fuels by more than 320 percent from 2008 to 2035. In the report, Mathers focuses not on freight carriers (long haul cargo planes and container ships) but on shippers, which he describes as "companies that utilize logistics services to move products but are not primarily in the freight business." For these firms, he said, the longer term prospect of regional or global carbon pricing is not as significant as the bottom line busting price of diesel. Mathers mentioned the possibility of diesel hitting $5 per gallon this year, which "is a massive cost increase for these companies." "The driving factor in every one of these cases was cost reduction," he said. "One of the really great aspects of the freight space, and one of the reasons we think that freight is particularly ripe for carbon reductions today, is that there is such good synergy between cost and carbon reductions." "By highlighting these through the sustainability lens," he added, "what I hope to do is to get the sustainability teams at companies to look at what some of their competitors are doing." In the report, Mathers describes several broad categories of best practices: shifting cargo from planes to ships, or from trucks to trains; improving inventory management practices; optimizing distribution networks; leveraging partnerships, even with competitors, to collaboratively distribute goods; rethinking the goods and packaging that make up each shipment, or changing the mix of products to optimize for space and weight; and, last, improving the energy efficiency of warehouses and distribution centers. Mathers also notes the carbon and monetary costs company logisticians must weigh when deciding among transport options. "Planes emit 47 times more carbon per ton mile than container ships; trucks emit six times more carbon per ton mile than trains. The more carbon intensive modes typically cost more as well," he writes. "If just 10 percent of truck shipments shifted to utilizing an intermodal strategy, one billion gallons of fuel could be saved in the United States." Smart Moves abounds with examples of proven strategies to cut costs and carbon in shipping. Here is a sampling: In 2003, Nike decided on a cargo shift. Most of the shipments from its manufacturing facilities in Asia would now arrive in North America via ocean container ship instead of by air. The move saved Nike $8 million in 2009 alone, and served as justification for a company goal to reduce carbon emissions from inbound logistics by 30% by 2020. HP saved $7,000 and avoided 900 tons of carbon per shipment by electing to send its Visual Collaboration Studio, a telepresence conferencing system, by ocean freighter over a cargo plane. shipments using intermodal transport where trains carry containers long distances and trucks take over to deliver goods to the final destination by more than 30% from 2005 to 2010, slashing carbon emissions by 14,000 metric tons. Levi's found that a switch to intermodal transportation cut CO2 emissions by 60% in some shipping lanes. Kenco: Postponing the final assembly of goods Logistics services company Kenco helped a client, a kitchen and bath industry manufacturer, cut its inbound freight costs nearly in half by developing a process whereby semi finished goods are assembled at the regional distribution center rather than the factory. Wal Mart worked with Minute Maid to eliminate one stop in the chain used to deliver Minute Maid's Simply Orange Juice to Wal Mart distribution centers. Now, the product moves directly from a production facility in Florida to Wal Mart distribution centers. Eliminating delivery to Minute Maid's own distribution centers slashed CO2 emissions by 1,500 metric tons annually and added six days to the shelf life of the orange juice. highways are running empty, and, in 2009, $186 billion worth of merchandise (8% of all sales) was returned. Clearly more needs to be done to ensure that shipments make full use of the available space in planes, trucks, and trains. IKEA eliminated air and unused space from the packaging for its GLIMMA tealight candle. After the tweak, the number of tealight packs that fit in a standard European pallet increased by 40%, reducing carbon emissions by 21%. Cisco Systems has saved more than $24 million annually from packaging improvements. One example: the company stopped including hard copy user guides with its IP phones, directing customers to online guides instead. Now three IP phones can fit in the same shipping space where two did before. I asked Mathers if these strategies and others detailed in Smart Moves had buy in from C level executives. "None of this stuff that we see would be happening unless there was senior level support," he said. "Senior level folks clearly see the driving factors of an incredibly competitive environment, the need to be bringing in constantly new and the best talent, increasing expectations from their customers and shareholders about environmental sustainability, and increasing energy costs."
Buy Real Cheap Air Jordan 10 Bulls Over Broadway,Air Jordan 6 Retro Olympic 2012 Boise State nose tackle Mike Atkinson of Windsor will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury. The Catholic Central grad tore an ACL in Saturday's 21 19 loss at home against San Diego State. Atkinson's 37 tackles ranked sixth on the team and he had two forced fumbles and one interception return for a touchdown, the only score in Boise State's 7 6 win over BYU back in September. "I still think we've got a good core of defensive lineman," Broncos coach Chris Petersen said. "You lose a guy for the season whenever it is, that's hard. "He's a good tough, true nose tackle, and those guys are hard to find." Ricky Tjong A Tjoe, who has played extensively at tackle this season, is projected to take over at nose tackle, while Darrin Koontz will move into the void at tackle when Boise State (7 2) plays at Hawaii Saturday. The setback is just the latest blow for a defence already hobbled by medical and disciplinary problems. Starting safety Lee Hightower will miss a third straight game for violating team rules. Defensive tackle Greg Grimes and nickel Dextrell Simmons are questionable. The loss against San Diego State marked the second year in a row that a November loss at home cost Boise State its lock on the conference title and shot in a BCS game. Boise State had a 71 1 record in Bronco Stadium dating back to Sept. 22, 2001. "We don't lose too much around here," senior receiver Chris Potter said. The St. Clair Saints will have a pair of runners competing in Saturday's Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association cross country championships. A total of 290 athletes from 40 schools will compete at the CCAA championships, which will be held at Parc Michel Chartrand in Longueuil, Que. Battling illness, Andrew DeGroot earned a silver medal at the OCAA men's eight km race in Sault Ste. Marie and is hoping to contend for a medal at the national level. Riverside high school grad Kodi Morgan was ninth in the women's five km race at the OCAA championships and is hoping for a top 14 finish, which would earn her all Canadian honours. The women's basketball team at St. The Saints are coming off a 68 17 victory against Sault College Sunday. Kendyl Rizea had 20 points for St. Clair. The Saints edged Sault College 73 71 Sunday. Teodora Glisic scored 18 points to lead the Rebels over Belle River 66 36 in semifinal action Tuesday. The Rebels were fuelled by 21 5 scoring run in the third quarter. Riverside's Bailey Penney had 16 points and Olivia Belliveau added 12 points. Belle River was led by Myah Robillard who had 17 points. Andie Suthers added 11 for the Nobles, who still advance to the OFSAA girls basketball championship despite the loss.
