The Midlife Gals are at it again with their crazy videos.  They do have a way with video, these two!  This time KK and SalGal take a look at the 'Don'ts' of skin cancer for  HealthCentral Network, a medical information website packed with great resources on just about every health issue you can imagine.

Menopause has perverse timing, creeping up on us right in the midst of a time in our lives when we are often already undergoing stressful transitions.  Worse,  hormonal changes associated with it can suppress our ability to deal well with these middle age stresses.  

Connie Ryan, a nurse practitioner specilizing in women's health, briefly explains how menopause can wear us down, and also discusses what can be done to combat the heightened stress at this important stage of our lives.

Signs of aging we accept as inevitable include stiffness, aches and pains, and changes in our bodies' contours.  Do we have to accept these as inevitable though?  Pilates is a method of exercise and physical movement that can counteract those unwelcome changes.  Combined with bodywork such as Structural Integration (SI), we can maintain our range of motion and our spine's flexibility, significantly slowing down the aging clock!

Wendy LeBlanc Arbuckle, Director of Pilates Center of Austin and a Structural Integration (SI) practitioner, tells us about how these two methods can help us maintain a strong, flexible body that looks and feels younger.  If you want to see how young and graceful 60 something can look, Wendy LeBlanc Arbuckle, Director of Pilates Center of Austin and a Structural Integration (SI) practitioner, would be the poster woman for that!
