I was a skinny 11-year-old softball player when I wrote
away for exercise equipment for women.

As men / Do walk a mile, women should talk an hour, / After supper. 'Tis their exercise.

Women that are able to stay with an exercise program, eat a balanced diet and diminish the stress in their lives is really where it's at,

There is no better time for women approaching or currently going through menopause to start or renew an exercise program. Physical activity can play an important role in counteracting many of the changes a woman experiences in her post menopausal years including the increased risk of weight gain, heart disease and bone loss. In addition to exercise, a low-fat, high fiber diet rich in calcium can also help ward off symptoms.

The problem that has no name - which is simply the fact that American women are kept from growing to their full human capacities - is taking a far greater toll on the physical and mental health of our country than any known disease

I think the important thing to know is that women are intelligent and they know how to take care of themselves.
