<description><![CDATA[In the profession of public safety, Fire-Police-EMS, there lies a strange disparity between fitness/ wellness and proactive injury prevention. In my 8 plus years on the street as a Paramedic and 14 plus years of clinical sports medicine / Athletic Training I have seen countless friends and co-workers injured from activities that should have never caused injury, and have witnessed responders performing exercises that will cause injury. There is a strange 'old school' like mentality that prevails in our profession.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In the medical / scientific world we test and evaluate.  If we can not test all we are doing is guessing, I personally do not like to guess, and I would assume that you would rather not pay for a guess.  The unfortunate fact is that most 'professional' trainers never test, they sure get you money in a hurry though!  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ What causes such a prevalence of lower back conditions?  The answer may surprise you.  Continuing research shows that most people do not have weak backs, but share in the same problems:
	1) weak or inhibited lower abdominals

	2) over-dominant hip flexors (too strong)

	3) tight and weak lateral hip muscles

	4) weak and inhibited gluteal muscles.

Weak abdominal, pelvic, hip and gluteal muscles lack the endurance to do their job throughout the day.

<description><![CDATA[How many times have you been in the local gym and seen someone pull out of an exercise hurt, limp off the treadmill or go through such a horrific workout that they are out of the gym for a week.  Ever wonder why the people advertising inside the gym are doctors and chiropractors.  The odds are stacked against you, it is very likely that you will have an injury while exercising.  In my past articles I have alluded in depth the how's and why's of exercise induced injuries.  Please reference those articles so you understand how you are hurting yourself, and how to remedy the situation.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[So what is right and what is wrong?.  It depends on what you are training for and your personal fitness and wellness goals.  An athlete should almost never train sitting down.  Sports are played standing, involve balance, agility, speed and multi-joint movements.  There is no basis for training sitting down for a non athlete either.  We spend too much of our lives sitting in the car at the computer and on the phone.  Yet we go to the gym and contort ourselves into a machine that basically forces us back into a rounded seated posture and now forces us to move according to the machine, not according to how your body wants to move]]></description>
