WSJ: Optimal Music for the Gym
I thought this was interesting - the bpm thing has always been a factor for my exercise (I cannot just listen to a "good song" - it has to be 130-145 bpm): http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324883604578396670814453936.html?mod=ITP_personaljournal_0

Runners - how do I stop the, er, runs?
I have been working out in the morning for 6+ months now, and I started out walking, and sometimes at the end of my walks I'd have to rush to the bathroom. Well, I've stepped up my workouts to include some jogging and HIIT, and now 99% of the time I have to take a bathroom break in the middle of my workout. How can you…
