Top 10 Posts from 2011

I love educating the Katy, TX community on various health and fitness topics.  Last year I wrote a lot of blog posts, but today I want to share my 10 favorites posts that are helpful for a variety of reasons.  Here they are.

1. Five Truths About Fitness - These are the 5 essential elements that you must understand about fitness and your health.  It will clear up some misconceptions you might have and also remind you of the obvious as well.
2. Back Exercise You Should Never Do - I’m slightly very passionate about back pain, and it really bothers me when people are given exercises that are likely to make the problem worse.  This is an exercise I see in gyms often,and I felt it was time to talk about it.
3. Weight Loss: Addressing the Root of the Problem - It’s easy to say that being overweight is simply eating too much and not exercising enough, but that is often not the root of the problem.  This article helps you think about the real reasons why you may have trouble losing weight.
4. Proper Exercise Technique: Chest Press - Many people have trouble doing particular exercises properly.  Many times it’s just because no one has ever taught them proper technique.  In this video, Jason Harley explains how to properly perform a chest press.  We might do more of these videos in the future if there is some interest in that.
5. Back Pain Solutions: Walking the Wrong Way - Sometimes it’s the simple things.  Few people realize that simply walking backwards can help reduce back pain.  I’ve used this technique for years, but recently a research study was published showing how effective it was.
