A simple and fun message about exercise

Well, those of you that follow me know that my posts have been slim pickings of late. The truth is I have been focused on writing my book (which is very close btw) and figured that most of you have many sources for seeing great videos, sharing new ideas, and just connecting. What I am trying to say is this.... at this point I am only posting here if I really hope you see something like this below. Credit Jamima Wolk and her blog Sweat Style for the original posting.

Help men at high-risk for prostate cancer

Action Alert: FORCE Responds to USPSTF Guideline Changes for PSA Screening The United States Preventive Services Task Force recently issued a draft recommending against PSA screening for men of any age and risk status. Although the guidelines were not written specifically for men with BRCA mutations, FORCE is concerned that the proposed screening guideline changes may have serious negative health implications, lead to confusion, and make it more difficult for high-risk men to get insurance reimbursement for PSA screening. The USPSTF is accepting public commentary on these draft guidelines until November 8, 2011. Visit the FORCE website and learn how you can take action on behalf of high-risk men.
