Improve Your Sex Life With Exercise
If health and fitness aren't enough to get you
to exercise, how about improving your sex life? Sure, exercise can help you
look good and maybe that will help you get more sex, but I'm talking about
increasing your potency and making sex more fun.
- You already know why exercise is so important for your
health, but you may not know that studies have found a direct correlation
between physical inactivity and a lack of potency. So, exercise can
increase your potency, and it can also make your sex life more enjoyable.
Here's what you'll need to get the most out of your sex life.
- For enthusiastic sex, you'll need some cardio
endurance. It won't be any fun if you bonk out halfway through. Shoot for
3 or 4 days of cardio exercise like running, walking, swimming or whatever
floats your boat and your partner will thank you.
- Sex also requires a little muscular endurance. You may
find yourself holding...er...unusual positions for short periods of time,
so conditioning your body can be a plus for longer lasting sex. For
endurance, you'll need to lift lighter weights for more repetitions. Check
out some endurance workouts here and get conditioned for sex.
- As long as we're talking about holding yourself in
position, we might as well cover muscular strength, which is something
else you'll need. Your muscles will be contracting like crazy no matter
what position you're in, so it pays to be in shape to avoid nasty leg or
foot cramps. For strength, you'll need to lift heavier weights for few
repetitions. For some ideas, visit my Workout Center.
- Flexibility can enhance anyone's sex life by making it
a bit easier to get into your favourite position with a minimum amount of
fuss. Why not try a little Yoga to get you in the mood? Or try these stretches
to get you ready for the most vigorous sex.
- Keep in mind that both sex and exercise have been
proven to help reduce stress, so doing both on a regular basis should help
you stay relaxed and happy. Exercise also helps increase your sexual
desire. Tamar Love, About former Sexuality Co-Guide, points out that low
sex drive is often caused by stress and fatigue. When you're tired, you
just don't feel like doing it, right? Exercise, along with a healthy diet
and adequate sleep can boost your libido so you're up for anything.
- Don't forget that sex burns calories! Okay, so it has
to be fairly vigorous to get your heart rate going, but calories are
calories right? A 130-lb person can burn about seven calories per five
minutes of vigorous sex. Keep it up for two hours, and you'll burn off 177
calories...enough to get rid of those cookies you ate after dinner. Plus,
you will impress your mate with your incredible endurance.
