No charts needed. Everyone knows the answer. Popularity means nothing. |

Used to be the Sports Marketing Association would compile all
kinds of statistics like these for vendors and advertisers.
However, when I looked at their website today www.sgma.com,
they require registration even for their free reports.
If you dont mind getting on some sales lists go ahead .... |

Interesting use of Google Trends.
This illustrates what in some newsgroups is
called the "resolution effect". There is a big
jump in self-improvement around January 1st,
with lesser bumps before summer swim season,
and back to school. |

I think walking is the dominant form of exercise in terms of calories
burned and time consumed.
My SO said that she read a local yoga facility set the temperature to
100 degrees Fahrenheit. Are warm temperatures needed to get effective
muscle stretching?
I tried aerobics once but came to the conclusion that running is nicer
because it doesn't come with some terrible music. (I'm not getting an
iPod).

Bikram yoga does that.
You can stretch in any climate and at any temperature, but winter warm-ups
need to be more active, before stretching.
I don't know any regular Bikram people. I wonder whether they would lack
strength, because the heat may lead them to refrain from more demanding
exercises and more loaded stuff.
Also, the sweat in your eyes could be tragic in a headstand.
N.
Aside on Bikram: I saw a centre around here which advertised an introductory
offer of "unlimited sessions" for two weeks, $15. Imagine a yoga beginner
being attracted to that! Jeez. |

Yes, walking is right up there even on the web. Apparently, people
don't like aerobic dancing?

I believe it has much less to do with aerobics than it does with

Yes, genetics. Regarding where you put on fast first anyway. Some people
put fat first on their ass, others their belly, others their upper body.
And when dropping weight, you need to keep in mind "first on last off".
IOW, if the first thing you got when you started getting fat was a gut, that
will be the last thing to go when dropping weight. You'll thin out in your
face, arms, chest...everywhere but your gut. But if you keep after it, it
will eventually go.
Resistance training is ideal for weight control or loss. Even asside from
that, it changes your body composition, improves your posture, and obviously
increases your LBM, which is what helps you stay slim. You don't have to
look like Arnold. If fact, without juice, you couldn't if you tried. I
lift for health and fitness, with the fringe benefit being I look good for
49. |

For the vast majority, I would agree, however there are those who are
naturally muscular. In fact, many bodybuilders gravitate toward their
sport as a result of *already looking like a bodybuilder* rather than
the old Charles Atlas sand-kicked-in-face motivation.
Ken Norton had a tremendous build without benefit of bodybuilding
exercises, Herschel Walker benched something like 300 lbs. the first
time he touched a weight according to an article in SI years ago.
There are mesomorphs out there.

That's opinion. And speaking of opinion, check out Sherl Crowe, born
February 11, 1962:

Although 44 is fast approaching, I'd say she looks good for any age
and not just her own.

Trends
is that a clever web page owner can use software that increases the
frequency of (bogus) searches to his web page or category. This is
one of the problems with Google search results in general. Web page
owners vie for the top spots in search results by artificially
increasing
the frequency of visits to their web pages, one of the criteria in
Google
formula for determining "popularity".
I am not saying that your conclusions are wrong. They match my
expectations. But that is merely a coincidence, since your methods
are suspicious. |

There are different forms of Yoga, Bikram Yoga involves a 104F hot house.
I don't know the reasoning behind it, I don't go just happen to know someone
who does.
