If you look at the right hand side of iStadia's blogs page, you see our most read blogs. It's worth observing these, because they give some clear clues for anyone that wants their blog posts to be noticed...
For anyone interested in the psychological or social benefits of sport and exercise, here's a story that might pique your curiosity: French prisoners are taking part in their own 'Penal' (you're thinking of something else altogether now, aren't you?) Tour de France...
