This post will discuss the “male” menopause (andropause) phase at around age 60 and how balance your hormones.
Everyone knows about “the change” that women go through after 50. Women are better equip than men in dealing with extreme changes to our bodies from years of practice. Not only are men not used to dealing with changes in their bodies, there is not much support in our community or the internet to help them.
Can you imagine two men sitting next to each other, beer in hand, talking about the “changes” happening to their bodies? I would love to see my husband and brother doing that 20 years from now.

So they are setting up their TVs in front of their rowing machines, treadmills, or exercise bikes to “follow” the Olympics as they row, run, or bike.
In the process of setting up their machines to workout at the same speed as the Olympians, these people are breaking the machines (clearly home exercise equipment are not Olympics quality)… or themselves?

I just cannot get over the transformation on the eyes! But the head does not seem to be in proportion to the “smaller” body size. I guess the point is that glossy magazine pictures are not “real” people.
