Enhance Your Sexual Health with Exercise!  

Sure, we've stressed how exercise can boost self-confidence--and that might be just enough to put the oo's, ah's, and oh my's back in the bedroom--but it does so much more your sexual health.  Physical fitness is almost the complete package when you want to improve your libido and sexual experience, with everything from your hormones to your flexibility.

Exercise stimulates your endocannabinoid system.  What is that?  Brain receptors responsible for pain-sensation, mood, memory, and appetite.  When we exercise, we are producing endocannabinoids and they make us feel good.  This mood elevator along with improved body image, that comes with regular workouts, can have you feeling extra sexy in no time at all!

Physically, your body is improving its cardio endurance, strength, balance, and flexibility--assuming you are taking a variety of our classes.  If you don't, we highly recommend you do.  With all of those elements, you can try more challenging sexual positions, hold yourself in them longer, and have more energy for a long escapade--think of the extra calories you'll burn as you do!

Poor circulation can reduce your body's arousal response.  Blood flow to the genitals is vital for lubrication and that tingly sensation when you're excited.  With regular workouts, improved circulation means a faster arousal and can reduce some of the issues of vaginal dryness that arrives with age and menopause. 

In addition to making menopause easier, it balances out hormones like cortisol.  Those levels rise every time you're stressed and left alone can cause weight gain or make weight loss difficult.  It is also much harder to have sensual thoughts when all you can think about is the crappy day at work you had or the tantrums your kids threw.  Exercise allows you some "me time" to release all of those troubles, allowing you to relax and enjoy your partner, making you a better lover.   

Exercising with your partner can create a closeness you may not have experienced yet.  Enjoying a shared activity, means you learn more about each other, how to rely on each other, and motivate each other.  And a little friendly competition doesn't hurt either.  You can create sexy rewards for reaching goals or for outperforming the other.  So what isn't to love?  It's time to put on the sports bra and reconnect with your body!

Valentine's Day doesn't have to be about couples only.  You can host a singles party to rival any overpriced dinner for two.  Invites should be simple and email based, without an RSVP date and expect last minute responses, especially around this time.   

Keep the atmosphere casual and festive, but stay away from reds and pinks--anything Valentine related.  People will more likely show up to a winter luau theme, because there is less pressure for a love connection.  Relaxed guests will have a more positive experience and be more personable.  Provide a buffet of small bites and avoid sauce covered foods.  With lots of handshaking, sticky fingers and mouths make for awkward greetings.   

You will know your guests best, so don't plan games like charades for those who prefer dancing.  To break the ice, a simple trivia game can get conversations rolling.  Have guests fill out a short questionnaire asking things like, where was the most exotic place they'd been, then have people guess who answered what.  And if your party ends up lopsided or no one seems to connect, shift the party to a singles celebration.  It might make some feel better if they've been seeing their status as a prison sentence.
