Start Enjoying Better Senior Sex By Staying More Active

Taking care of your body is the most important thing you can do to increase your ability to be sexual longer and more effectively. It’s your tool for more satisfying senior sex.

Making love takes lots of energy and flexibility.  it’s physical as well as emotional. Strong, healthy nerves, hearts and arteries are a great start.  But, be sure to add strong, healthy bones and muscles to your satisfying senior sex equipment list.

For most of us, this means getting more activity. You know, the dreaded e-word: exercise.

Just focus on simple, but effective, small changes to realize significant results.

Include three types of activity into your daily/weekly schedule:

• aerobic exercise, moving your body enough to raise your heart rate
• flexibility training, stretching and loosening your muscles
• strength training, increasing the strength of your muscles and bones.

Start with Aerobic Exercise

Aerobic exercise just means moving your whole body.  It keeps your blood flowing. Remember, healthy hearts and arteries pump more blood where you need it. And your muscles will soon be stronger too.

You don’t need to aim for a marathon or 25 mile bike ride.  Even something as simple as incorporating more walking into your daily activities can make a significant difference. The key is starting slow, not making big demands for time or intensity.

Gradually increase your time, your speed, and the intensity of your efforts.

Aim for 3-4 times a week, with at least a half an hour of walking.

The good news about aerobic exercise? Even a little bit makes a huge difference,and seems to help with balance, and combats insomnia. All this, and it’s light and easy to carry.

Add Flexibility Activities

These activities will allow you to move your body through a wider range of motion. Think of the
calisthenics we all had to do in high school.

Flexibility training can be as simple as hand squeezing balls or knobby foot balls to exercise the muscles in our hands and feet, to getting down on the floor to stretch all the muscles in your body.

For better love’n make sure you include the muscles in your arms and legs so you can get around easier. Don’t forget the muscles in your groin area, as well as your inner thighs and buttocks.

Include Strength Training for Stamina

Strength training builds muscle mass. And, you don’t have to go out and buy a huge set of weights to get started.

Start small. Even something as simple as carrying your own groceries rather than letting the check out kids do it for you can make a difference. If you can’t do a whole bag, just pick up a
full soup can or heft gallon jugs of milk.

Or, you might want to pick up a few lower weight bar bells and a good weight lifting guide at your local sports store. Just start slow and light weight. It is the repetition that does it, not hte weights at first.

The objective is to strengthen your muscles. Get stronger so you can last longer.

The good news about both flexibility and strength training?
Studies have shown even those of us older folks…on up to people in their nineties can show significant improvement very quickly with training as little as three times a week.

And, you’ll notice the difference during your love’n time too.
