Tainted Love

The magic of music for working out is detailed here, on the extensive Real Age website. It's a freebie and loaded with all sorts of health research and resources.

You have the technology. You can rebuild your workout. You can make it better than it was before. Better, stronger, faster. The key? Music.

If you download something up-tempo onto your digital audio player and slap on those headphones when you cycle, walk, or run, you'll cover 11 percent more ground without even feeling it.

Hey anything to get those muscles moving and the endorphins flowing, right?

Which is why I am always posting music videos. I have over 4,000 songs on the iPod I got from my friend Lisa for my birthday two years ago, and this past weekend my guy gave me an iTouch.

Woo-hoo. Now I can post from everywhere.

Anyway, today's tune suggestion comes from the debonair Ghost of a Flea. I think he shouts out to me because I was the one to turn him on to the Pussycat Dolls back in 2005. But their cover of ''Tainted Love'' with Marc Almond is too chintzy, even for moi.

So here is my preferred version ... the original by Gloria Jones ... as illustrated by You Tuber funknroll.

Antonia--less to do with your posting here and more to do with a new posting: can you please smack down the story which appeared on the Star's electronic pages tonight about bra size relating to diabetes risk? Frankly I want to know the percentage of women who actually WEAR an A-cup. Teenage girls and young women have enough to worry about without getting one more reason to be horrified with our breasts and bodies! Science, yes maybe, but what other science news was deemed too frivolous to take up the space that this story occupies?

here's the story Peg is talking about:

peg, i only had a quick read because i am super sleepy but it strikes me that bigger breasted girls would likely be chubbier. if they're chubbier, then they would likely not exercise as much or eat as well as they should.

that could lead to type II diabetes, and the article makes similar points.

just my theory as i yawn so wide, i can swallow my computer monitor.

also i can't answer the ''how many wear an A-cup'' question with any certainty. i do know when i wrote about my DDs last fall, i included this statistic:

''We make up, according to an unscientific online poll on Chatelaine's website this month, 14 per cent of the pectoral population. Most women fill only a B cup (25 per cent) or a C (34 per cent.)''

Interesting to see what Gloria Jones has been up to in recent years. Best known for driving that car when Marc Bolan was killed.
