May 15, 2012 My husband works extremely hard, which leaves him with back pain sometimes. So I thought Pilates might help him because if your leg muscles are stiff you are guaranteed to have a stiff back.
April 20, 2012 It never fails that the weather gets nice and everyone and their dog, best friend and baby walk the canyon to get into shape. I personally like to walk the canyon...it's a great workout. You do have to look out for cars while walking the canyon. Even though it is a canyon, some people still drive extremely fast.

1. When You Empty Your Bladder, It's Fairly Clear. It should be a pale yellow color, and you should be using the bathroom a few times a day. It's a sign that you're properly hydrated, and your kidneys are healthy.
If it's cloudy, dark, or bright yellow, it's a sign you're dehydrated. And if it's clear, it means you're too hydrated, which isn't a big deal. But when you are, your body doesn't absorb enough salts and electrolytes.
2. Your Cuts Heal Fairly Quickly. It means your blood is clotting normally, your white blood cells are carrying away bacteria like they should, and your blood vessels are healthy.
If you bruise easily or it takes weeks for a cut to heal, it could be a sign of liver disease, a bone marrow disorder, or hemophilia . . . which is when your blood doesn't clot right.
But don't freak out. Bruising easily can also be caused by medication, or just the fact that you're getting older.
Because as you age, the smallest type of blood vessels in your body . . . your capillaries . . . become more prone to rupture. And your skin also gets thinner, which doesn't help.
