Young athletes/gymnasts who have never had children are highly likely to suffer from incontinence.Women should not accept dysfunction as a "normal part of being a woman", but instead need to prioritize their pelvic floor health - this book shows that it is never too early and, crucially, never too late to do so.
Your Perfect Life
by Lisa Steinke Liz FentonTwo childhood best friends wake up the morning after their twentieth high school reunion to discover that they've switched bodies in this hilarious and heartwarming debut by two childhood best friends.With "a delicious, page-turning premise, and sweet and surprising insights" (New York Times bestselling author Jen Lancaster), Your Perfect Life perfectly illustrates that old adage: Sometimes, you have to walk a mile in someone else's shoes to see what's in her heart. Best friends since childhood, Casey and Rachel couldn't lead more different lives. While workaholic Casey rubs elbows with celebrities daily as the host of Gossip TV and comes home nightly to an empty apartment, stay-at-home mom Rachel juggles an "oops" baby, two fiery teenagers, and a husband who barely seems the man she fell in love with two decades before. After an argument at their twentieth high school reunion, Casey and Rachel throw back shots to get the night back on track. Instead, they get a life-changing hangover. Waking up in each other's bodies the next morning, they must figure out how to navigate their altered realities. Rachel is forced to face the broadcasting dreams she gave up when she got pregnant in college, and Casey finally steps out of the spotlight to face the real reason why she's alone. And they soon discover that they don't know themselves--or their best friend--nearly as well as they thought they did. Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke bring their "witty, winning style" (Sarah Pekkanen, author of The Best of Us) to every page of this novel that is sure to please fans of In Her Shoes and The Opposite of Me. Your Perfect Life is a story of humor and heart about two best friends, what they didn't know about each other, and how, by switching lives, each learns to appreciate her own.
