Whatever it is that you want – whether it be frequent sex, more enjoyable sex, more intimacy, or more sexual desire … I’d vouch for ‘all of the above’ … the key is to EXERCISE.
Here are just a few ways that exercise will directly increase your sexual satisfaction:
1. Regular physical activity, just walking for 25 minutes 3X/week will decrease impotency related problems. Physiologically every time you engage in physical activity, your heart rate will increase, thereby pumping more blood to all of your organs…especially to the organs that we want to work for us!
When a women exercises, she is priming her body for sexual arousal. All this means is that, again, she is getting more blood flow to her genital area. Therefore, she is more likely to experience peak arousal when engaged in intimate activity, resulting in her to want to initiate more sexual activity AND to feel great pleasure.
2. Research has proven exercise will lead to more frequent sexual activity and the pleasure of orgasms. When two people are exercising, losing weight, feeling great and confident…this only sets up your relationship for a wonderful sex life!
3. Exercise has been proven to: reduce stress, increase sleep quality, and increase energy levels. Think about this for a minute…do you really feel like having sex when you are stressed and fatigued? I know we don’t! I would much rather curl up with a book and get my sleep! We all know in today’s society there are many reasons for couples to be stressed, sleep deprived, and miserable. But, flip the switch, and the same can be said about feeling great satisfaction in life. Begin to exercise together and you can be walking advocates of a couple that CAN be less stressed, more energetic, and best of all … a lot more sexually satisfied!
The best thing you can both do for the security of your marriage and family is to give each other the gift of exercise. You will both be happier. The kids will benefit tremendously when they have parents that are arguing less, feeling more happiness, more joy, and just a more positive outlook on life in general.
When Scott and I workout, whether it be together or alone, I can guarantee to you that we will experience much more joy that day.
Remember this: Feel Better = Feel Sexual
Oh, and one more thing…SEX will Burn Calories!!
Cheers to health,

“The best thing you can do for your family and the security of your marriage is give the gift of exercise” is a pretty strong statement. Look, you definitely have a point but “the best”. Personally the best thing I have found for the security of my family and relationship is learning how to live in the ‘present moment’ and hence accept my wife for everything she is, and everything she isn’t. When we started dating, by using techniques that help one stay ‘present’, I was able to break out of a lifetime of broken, fiery failed relationships, make one work and finally have the clarity and certainty to choose to get married. It was HUGE for me. This may all sound a bit vague if you don’t understand what I mean by living in the ‘present moment’ but I promise you, read the book ‘the power of now’ by Eckharte Tolle, and if you do, you may find a practice even more powerful than the gift of exercise. I promise you, in this book the secret to peace, happiness and love is explained more clearly than anything I have ever experienced. That’s my gift, and thanks for all the fitness info.
