As the temperature and humidity rise, outdoor
exercise can potentially be hazardous. Women should shift their exercise time
to periods of the day when the sun is not at its peak, such as early morning or
evening. Try loose clothing, along with a protective hat or sunscreen. Also, pay
close attention to the body's heat-related warning signs. Watch out for
increased fatigue, dizziness, headaches and cramps, and if you notice you're
starting to become thirsty, that's usually a delayed response, so you really
need to make sure you hydrate yourself.

Admit defeat and enjoy
success
Most likely, you have a perfectly legitimate
reason for not taking action. You haven't been able to get out and exercise
because the weather has been so bad. You can't get any work done on your
marketing plan because the phone keeps ringing.
So go ahead and give up. Admit defeat. The weather is not going to improve any
time soon. And the phone calls just keep coming. The obstacles that prevent you
from taking action are not going away. Admit defeat. And then find a way
to take action anyway.
Rather than fighting against something that you cannot change, look for ways to
adapt. As long as you're fighting against it, you get a great excuse. But
excuses won't help you accomplish anything. So give up the fight, give up the
excuse. Go ahead and do what needs to be done. Admit defeat, get
it behind you, and then take the actions that will bring you success.

Exercise: Menopausal woman's best friend
Menopause brings with it a wide range of
changes to a woman's body. Without doubt, exercise is the menopausal woman's best friend in
a way that it
allows to control your body and emotions by using your internal resources.
Each time that you take exercise, your adrenal glands are stimulated to convert
the male hormone androstenedione into oestrogen. A minimum of four
30-minute exercise sessions each week will help to keep your body producing a
little oestrogen.
As you become older, your cardio-respiratory fitness, your strength and your flexibility all begin to decline. For people who remain active, however
these things decrease at a lower rate (an average of five percent per decade
after the age of about 20, as opposed to nine percent per decade).
Long-term exercise also means that you will have stronger bones and a lower
risk of osteoporosis than non-exercisers. Although every woman is
different, most of us lose 25 - 35 percent of our bone mass by the time we reach
the age of 65. Bone loss begins around the age of 35, proceeds slowly up
to the menopause, and then accelerates during the five to seven years after the
menopause, when oestrogen levels are low.

Culture has often blamed
obesity on the individual.
We assume that people are
overweight because of personal failings, that they’re lazy, weak, and
gluttonous. An imperfect body reflects an imperfect person.
