Exercise Can Spice Up Your Sex Life, The American Council on Exercise Says

The American Council on Exercise Reminds the Nation that Exercise Improves Sexual Function in Men and Women -
Want to heat up your sex life and don't know how? This year for Valentine's Day forget the box of chocolates or flowers and head to the gym for a workout with your partner. The American Council on Exercise (ACE), America's non-profit fitness advocate, points out numerous studies that show a direct correlation between exercise and improved sexual function.
"A growing body of evidence supports the notion that regular exercise may enhance sexuality through a variety of mechanisms that affect both the mind and body," said Dr. Cedric Bryant, chief exercise physiologist for ACE. "Physical improvements in muscle strength and tone, endurance, body composition and cardiovascular function (specifically, enhanced peripheral blood flow) can all enhance sexual functioning. Be careful not to over-train; too much exercise can actually decrease testosterone levels leading to a less-robust sexual appetite."
