20 Facts to Keep You In The Know

It's certainly true to say that the fitter you are, the better your sex drive, and needless to say your sex life!! An increase in exercise, to an average of 45 minutes, 3 times each week will increase in the release of the mood elevating beta endorphines, which will increase sexual desire. You'll soon find that every system in the body works better when you're fit and in good shape. Every sense being amplified, enhancing sensitivity, making every touch more enjoyable.

Can I Exercise Too Much?
Exercise will enhance you're overall sex life. Dr. Schindfield, a Philadelphia endorocrinologist, suggests an average amount of exercise. That is running fewer than 30 miles a week, cycling under 300 miles a week, unless you plan to exceed that amount you should be just fine. Exercising at a moderate intensity should rev-up the passion. Releasing those vitally important beta endorphines happens as early as ten
minutes into an exercise routine for some, leaving others of us waiting up to an hour for our natural release! The harder you train the longer the positive rush will last, this could be as long as three hours. But remember, spending all day in the gym, worrying constantly about how you're body looks is not the answer. Finding that perfect balance is what you should be aiming to achieve. Spending more time with your partner, increasing intimacy and therefore a better sex life!!

Sexual Intake & Men?
Studies have shown that the quality of the food we consume can affect our sexual performance. One study by James R. White, M.D, for the UCSD study on men, found that a high quantity of "bad" cholesterol "reduced male sexual desire". This in turn causing "a low blood supply" to vital areas! Increasing exercise and decreasing fat intake lowered their ratio of "bad" to "good" cholesterol, causing increased blood flow, and there for the possibility of them maintaining an erection for longer periods, says Dr. White.

Sexual Performance
Sexual performance is sometimes rated according to misconceived prerequisites i.e. how readily can he get an erection; is she always "ready for it"; how long can he keep it up; does she moisten at the drop of a pair of trousers; how hard can he push it up; does she have multiple orgasms?
When making love, it is far more important to enjoy mutual warmth, tenderness, love, cuddles, companionship and laughter that to worry about standards of performance.

Body Language

Can You Tell If Someone Is Attracted To You In The Gym?

Check out the body language, it can reveal all! Do they:

" Make frequent eye contact, do their pupils dilate?

" Constantly check to see if you are reacting to them?

" Workout directly opposite and move around as you do around the gym?

" Walk in your direction or brush past or near you giving off a whiff of their fresh sweat?

" Lean towards you as you speak especially if you are on a machine?

" Touch you, giving the excuse that your body alignment is wrong?

" Maybe they stroke their legs with their hands when resting?

" Suggest a meeting in the bar?

 

Unwanted Attention!
Too much attention from an unwanted admirer who won't get the message is a real pain and can even ruin your workout. Check out your kit girls, if your wearing bike shorts and a bra top baring a bare midriff, what do you expect…. Cover up!
Likewise for the guys, hide your muscles! When your unwanted admirer talks to you fold your arms across your chest, or clasp your hands in your lap as though you were covering your genitals! Keep conversation polite, brief and cool1!

For the girls….
If your being continually pursued, seek out a training partner who will train along side you, preferably a beefy muscular friend. Failing that a close friend with whom you can be totally engrossed. Think about wearing a personal stereo, that gives the simple message that you're there to train! This should be sufficient to ward off an unwanted admirer, if all else fails change your workout times, or seek help from a member of staff.
