How to Increase a Man’s Libido with Exercise - Seriously?
By Christina | July 2, 2009
This is a topic I found rather interesting. I have heard exercise helps with self esteem, high blood pressure, heart disease, even depression, but I must admit I did not realize this seemingly magical solution to all that ails would help with sex drive too. Actually I did not realize that men needed much help with their libido but of course one need only watch a few commercials to realize that Viagra and other medications are making a fortune because they help a man get “jiggy with it” as Will Smith would say.
When a man exercises his libido increases as a result of the hormones released in his body - testosterone, adrenaline, serotonin, and other neurotransmitters. Here are some tips that might help you get off the meds and back in the swing of things:
- Start by working out at least 30 minutes a day. Sounds like too much of a commitment? Think about the half hour you would have spent obsessing about the fact that you cannot get aroused… see you just found the time!
- Work on strengthening your biceps, forearms, shoulders, abs, thighs and glutes so that your body doesn’t quit on you at the wrong time.
- Do cardiovascular exercise for 30 minutes at least twice a week. If you ask me, you can combine the first and third tip. Extra cardio will help you with your endurance vertically as well as horizontally.
- Eat healthy foods. The effect of healthy eating is seen and felt immediately in the body as it will react quicker when it is not lethargic from fats and refined sugars.
If all else fails…. try again! I am not a guy so I can’t help ya if all fails except to say go see your doctor in case there is a bigger problem.
