Watch That Gym Routine Bro- It May Affect Your Sex Drive

Did you know that your heavy gym routine could be affecting your sex drive ?

Yes, you heard us right!

While we are advised to exercise regularly, there is a tipping point at which your hormones can get suppressed and possibly impact your libido and sexual performance. However, by looking at pictures or watching videos that may excite us, that libido may slowly start to come back. So if you like to watch british couples have sex or just like to flick through a porno magazine, it could have more benefits than just making you aroused!

A new research from The University of North Carolina suggests that men whose exercise routines were light or moderate in intensity or duration, reported moderate or high libidos and the men whose workouts were prolonged or intense, reported a low sex drive (perhaps they should consider getting some Cialis from Blink Health) The researchers did take the age of the men into consideration as well.

The results showed that many of the men who exercised for more extended periods of time were too tired to have sex or just not interested. The men who exercised for shorter periods seemed to want sex more. That must be what the guys from Nu Bay do, as they never look like running out of sexual energy.

Balsher Singh, Gym enthusiast says, “Working out is a way to build strength, stamina and endurance which works as an advantage when we talk about sex life.

I have been exercising regularly for past three years and haven’t experienced lower libido.

Gym enthusiasts needs to understand that each body is different and the body’s needs differ too. So one shouldn’t pressurise yourself by overdoing it.

A diet loaded with high proteins, legumes and grains and lot of fresh vegetables and fruits should be the priority if you have to keep up the macho image, along with a healthy sex life.

Ripped muscles and the toned body does hamper the sex life. His body might attract you, but his performance in the bedroom is certainly going to disappoint you, says Kavita Barve, Fitness trainer.

An intense workout can actually harm your body by lowering your libido. Excessive exercise is a condition called ‘Exercise Hypogonadal Male Condition’ a consequence of which results in two hormones that get suppressed leading to lower libido.

It is always 80% diet and 20 % exercise, I would not suggest following a strict high protein diet, but would go with the old saying of eat your breakfast like a king, lunch like a commoner and dinner like a pauper, which is more than enough to maintain your body.

I would recommend that men ideally need to workout for 5-6 hours in a week, to have a normal, good and healthy sex life, Kavita adds.

Later, the doctor helped me with my diet plan which included sufficient amount of carbs, fruits vegetables, grains, cereals and protein in the right proportions.
