The Do’s and Don’t of Enhancing Sex With Exercise
Enhancing Sex With Exercise is a great topic as Valentine’s Day approaching it’s not too late to get your body aligned with your heart. Consistent smart exercise enhances your sex life at any age. Consistent smart exercise does more than just maintain or improve your cardiovascular function. It also creates and maintains proper hip mobility for what is a hip centric activity. Additionally, smart exercise keeps you healthy which maintains desire with age. Lastly, taking care of yourself increases confidence making sex more fun.
The Do’s and Don’ts
1. Do be consistent. The “secret” to success in fitness is consistency. At least 3 days a week of strength training and and hit your step goal every day will help you get great results. Here’s a quick looks if you take a week off from working out:
- Day 2: Wth just missing one day, on day 2, your mood and energy levels begin to decline because your body’s endorphin and adrenalin levels have also started to drop. These chemicals are natural appetite suppressants, so your appetite begins to increase.
- Day 3: By day 3, your heart and lungs are 5% less fit. Your muscles are measurably stiffer.
- Day 7: By day 7, your metabolism has declined some 10% because your ability to use oxygen has declined by 10%. Your body needs oxygen to burn calories. Energy levels are even lower than on day 2.
2. Do a hip flexor stretch every time you workout, if not every day for at least 30 seconds. This is will improve your ability to do hip extension, which is the most important action in love making.
3. Don’t be imbalanced. Don’t spend an hour on just strength, or just endurance, or just flexibility. An hour is enough time to properly address all three.
4. Do deadlift. Deadlifts work your core and pelvic floor, and add strength to your hip extension. Additionally, compound exercises, such as deadlifts increases or maintains sex hormone production, boosting desire and performance
5. Don’t think fitness is about looking “perfect”. Yes, regular exercise helps you look better, but “perfection” is an illusion created with lighting, Photoshop, make up, hitting the genetic lottery, etc.
6. Do push ups and planks. These exercises create strength, stability and endurance in the muscles that are important for many positions.
7. Don’t short change yourself. If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you. All exercise is going to feel hard. Push yourself, safely attempt the heavier weights, do ALL the sets. Lean IN to all your fitness opportunities.
8. Do take weighted vest walks. Sex (and life!) is more fun when you are not worn out after 3 minutes.
