What does love have to do with exercise?
If you love yourself and your mate then exercise for love! Flowers, chocolate and dinner are great for romancing your mate. According to the American Council on Exercise, regular exercise can heat up the bedroom as well. The physical benefits of exercising together can literally transform the way you see yourself and your partner.
Exercise can enhance self-image and confidence – You become more conscicious of your appearance and are less inhibited.
Exercise improves mood and stress instantly – The body releases several hormones while exercising. Adrenaline is a hormone that is released which increases awareness. Endorphines are called a “feel good hormone” which can promote relaxation and reduce anxiety. A vigorous workout can also increase testosterone levels in men and women. This hormone has a significant impact on men’s health and can increase sexual desire in men and women.
Exercising together can enhance your sensuality and communication – Sensuality can be discovered through the power of mind muscle connection. Mind muscle connection is developed by performing strength building exercises and stretching. You also discover how to communicate with one another to stay motivated and follow through on your exercise routine. You learn how to successfully encourage each other to push through tough workouts.
Exercise is a psychological and physical strengthening experience but it can also strengthen your relationship — Choose exercises that you both can enjoy. Set goals together. Create a regular and consistent exercise plan that you can do together. Some suggestions are: brisk walking, jogging, hiking, lifting weights and stretching together. These are all great ways to strengthen the heart, lungs and muscles while releasing hormones that will enhance your self-image, mood and sex drive. So Love and Exercise! Enjoy a long and healthy life together!
