12 Best Partner Workouts for Couples
According to Men’s Health, couples that workout out together, stay together. Sure dinner under the moonlight, date nights, and watching movies together can be great ways to strengthen these bonds, but exercises will give you a new understanding of your partner. If you exercise together, you can push each other to greater levels. Most of the workouts in this list are created to be competitive, and will help you see that you can push yourselves to be better in terms of your physical strength. Even if you are starting, you are much more likely to see results when you work out together, than when doing it alone. Your partner will encourage you to get through the pain. So which workouts are best for couples?

Grieving for a Body That You Can't Ever Return to

I'd gone from dancing three or four times a week to much less exercise and my body didn't agree. I began having a lot of pain and my shoulders and fingers were dislocating a lot, so I finally got a referral to a rheumatologist and they confirmed it was EDS. From there I kept getting more and more symptoms and less and less mobility.

No Meat May Continued
I can't believe that the month of May is winding down. I know many of you may be wondering how it's going and if I'm craving meat. To be honest I'm really not missing it. I haven't felt deprived or hungry. You do have to put some planning into it, but it hasn't been any harder than what I was already doing. On the nights I made a meat dish for the family, I planned it around what I was eating. There were times when something came up and I couldn't make what I had planned so I had to fall back on the vegetarian products I bought. I will be talking about the different ones I bought and tried and the good, the bad, and the ugly about these products. I'm also going to be talking a little more about the health benefits of what you get from eating vegetables. You may be surprised by what you learn. I will also share how I'v been feeling and some of the recipes that I"v used.

Dealing with Senior Moments
I am a native New Yorker. I have lived in this metropolis since I took my very first polluted breath way back in 1956. That is an awfully long time to live in this place. I have seen just about everything happen here except earthquakes and tornadoes. The biggest event that ever happened here occurred on 9/11/01. I won’t go into the horrors of that fateful day, because I don’t want to bring any bad feelings here. Let me try to stay upbeat.
