Do you notice your libido increases with exercise? I've read that testosterone increases with exercising the large muscle groups. I like that pump you get. I feel more manly and better about myself and life. One of the reasons I exercise is that it makes me feel better. Anyone else feel like that?

    Yes. Yes. And yes! 100 mg of DHEA each day also made a significant improvement.

    Yes, heavy lifting does cause a small increase in testosterone (and even a small amount can have significant affect on libido). It also does other things like improve circulation and improve artery health, which do even more to improve sexual health.

    And the more belly fat you lose the more inches you gain elsewhere!

    It is a supplement that helps support testosterone production. I use it.

    My wife and I have both decided to commit to exercising, and I'll definitely say that as we both lose excess body fat we gain in the libido department...no complaints here! Whether it's because of increased testosterone or feeling more comfortable in our own skin, who can say?

    losing weight makes a huge difference as well. After 15-20 lbs lost and libido increases. But I'm also exercising much more as well.
