Less stress

Stress and anxiety are the number one enemies of sexuality. Many sexual dissatisfactions are intimately related to anxieties and daily concerns. However, thanks to the endorphins secreted during physical activity, you will feel a feeling of well-being and relaxation that will surely increase your libido! It is also proven that the more intense the training, the higher the rate of endorphins and the more the positive effects are felt. Sleep becomes more recuperative that you will feel a lot less tired when you wake up.

Better nutrition

When you get involved in a workout program, it is quite possible that you are also putting effort into your diet. Moving and eating healthily is a winning combination to promote sexual health. Some foods that are too fat are harmful to cardiovascular health and this causes difficulties in the sexual response. 

Watch out for excess!

If you train normally, you will only feel a benefit to your sex life. On the other hand, overtraining can create the opposite effect because it usually means that your recovery time is not enough. Sports professionals are categorical: too much training can cause fatigue and mental exhaustion, irritability, sleep disorders, depressive state, hormonal modification (decreased synthesis of testosterone and progesterone) , a decrease in immune defense, etc. In short, nothing to help to have good sexual health. Everything is in moderation!
