'Take 10' for You...
Firing Up Sexual Desire

e know it's the season of roses and candy-filled hearts, but your real-life romance may be missing something. Has your interest in sex diminished, or even disappeared? Don't assume that's just the way it has to be. Women with sexual partners as well as those who are single can restore their feelings of desire and keep those fires burning for the future. Learn how in this month's main article, "Get Back in the Mood: Reignite Your Sexual Self."

If your cross-trainers are gathering dust while the weather's dreary, check out the Fitness Minute for ideas on how to make the most of indoor exercise. And our trainer, Jaime Longval, helps a woman find good ways to become physically active during pregnancy and offers three posture-building exercises to help you feel and look better.

Thanks for subscribing!
