lifestyle. Let’s take a closer look at the sex-enhancing potential of exercise:
    — Exercise is therapy that transforms your entire body. Your body was made to move; the effects of insufficient exercise, which may include heart disease, arthritis, obesity, and depression, can directly interfere with sexual health. Physical activity can enhance your sexuality by increasing your oxygen intake, strengthening your heart, moving your lymphatic fluids through your body, helping eliminate toxins from your tissues, elevating your vitality, helping you lose weight, and making you look better. By improving the function of every cell in your body, exercise also promotes the healthy functioning of your sexual organs. Ultimately, all exercise is “sexercise.”
    — You can specifically enhance your libido with exercise. Research suggests that women who exercise regularly have increased blood flow to all parts of their bodies, including their pelvic regions, which can improve sexual responsiveness and performance. Exercise can also enhance your libido by decreasing your stress-hormone levels; as you know, stress is a libido-buster.
    — Exercise can increase your energy, which includes your sexual energy. You can dispel the old notion that exercise always “uses up” your energy or tires you out. To the contrary, by increasing your total number of mitochondria—the energy-producing “engines” in your muscle cells—exercise can boost the amount of energy you have in your body. And improving your overall energy means improving your sexual energy.
    — You can bring more joy into your life, including your sex life, with exercise. By affecting your neurotransmitters—brain chemicals such as serotonin—exercise can stimulate your brain circuitry into “feel-good” states and alter your moods. Research shows, for example, that women who work out regularly have more confidence in their bodies. A high happiness quotient helps keep you receptive to all the joys of life, including the joys of sex.

Sex Can Make You Skinnier
Like any physical activity, sex can help you lose weight and may even help lower your cholesterol level. You probably burn about 200 calories in 30 minutes of lovemaking, although estimates vary depending on what kinds of sexual activities you engage in. While sex burns some calories, the real reason it can help you lose weight may be that it releases brain chemicals that make you happier, which in turn means you’re apt to make healthier choices that tap into your potential to manifest your ideal body size.
    Exercise, Motivation, Self-Esteem, and Sex: Rediscovering the Connections
    Although your body naturally needs and craves the medicine of exercise, your mind may make excuses—your job, children, other responsibilities, or even your personality or body type—to avoid it. For some women, the mind has a way of coming up with reasons to let the body stay sedentary, even at the risk of poor health, reduced sexual energy, or loss of bodily functions. But knowing all the benefits that exercise has for your health and sexuality can help put your body in motion. Let’s look at how you can get your mind more in touch with your natural motivation for motion, and move yourself to move.
    When you exercise, you’re doing more than simply getting your body in shape and moving your limbs; you’re also shaping your mind and moving your emotions. You can think of exercise as meaningful movement. In a sense, all exercise is dance: it allows you to celebrate your physical nature in ways that can give you great joy, and you can experience powerful surges of self-confidence when you feel what it’s like to manifest potential you might not have known you had. If you’ve ever learned a dance routine, you may not remember how hesitant you felt when you took your first steps, but you’ll probably never forget how confident you felt when you mastered the moves—and still feel whenever you perform them.
