Today, more and more people are having health problems, especially with their weight. Most of the time, fitness training at the nearby gym is the sought after solution but not everybody can give the needed commitment. Basically, at first one would get so excited but after a month or so, the excitement wears off and is replaced by boredom and laziness. Problem with most of us is that we want instant results. We don’t want to plant seeds, we want to harvest the crops directly. Gym goers that has put a hault in their fitness training generally do so out of frustration. Frustrated that they don’t see any progress after a month of training. Actually, you reap the good results of fitness training after 6 months of doing it so exercise deligently.
Regular exercise strengthens your heart muscle, lower your blood pressure, reduce your cholesterol level and generally helps you lose weight and keep it off. Contrary to the common belief, after a rigourous exercise, you wouldn’t feel tired at all. As a matter of fact, you get more energetic and you feel more in control of your health. Research has shown that brisk walking for about 20 minutes at least three times a week can help ward off cardiovascular crisis.
Its a sad fact that not all people see the many benefits exercise can give. Although some understand the result one could potentially reap, still not everybody has the needed discipline to carry out this form of regimen. As the title of this article suggests, sex, coitus or love making can be a substitute to your exercise training. One obvious reason why this is such a good news is that you wouldn’t think of it as a tedious scheduled chore but rather a healthy and enjoyable health treat.
Sex can improve your health, there is the sweat and the vigourous motion. If you think, I’m this perve trying to justify my not so ordinary sexual activities because you’re this pseudo-prude that finds sex a taboo, I will medically prove you wrong.
If you recently had a heart attack, you can have sex again within three to four weeks. Compared with other types of physical activity, you may need to start out slowly and work your way back into your normal patterns.
“About 2,400 men in the town of Caerphilly in Wales were surveyed about their habits, including how often they had sex? Then they were followed up for ten years. Those who reported the most frequent sexual activity were only half as likely to suffer a stroke or heart attack during that time.” -(journal)
