So have been working out more successfully this time but have been having a strange (or maybe not strange) occurance.

When working out I've either orgasmed or been so aroused after finishing my workout that my concentration is all off for the rest of the day unless it's dealt with.

Not sure if this is normal? I understand the mechanics (increase endorphins and blood flow\pressure) but can't decide if this is a blessing or a curse :D

Anyone else found this happening too?

Lou :)

    I think that quite a few women experience exercise induced arousal and although orgasm is less common it still occurs for a significant number of women.

    It's not particularly strange.

    Thank you MSF74. Glad to hear I'm not alone or that it's strange.

    Liftin4food I'm doing Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, and extra core work as I have a very large tum with weakened muscles from muscle separation from having two big babies. :)

    It's the core work. It's definitely not unheard of. http://www.livescience.com/19145-exercise-induced-orgasm-sexual-pleasure.html

    Just embrace it as an added bonus.

    Oh happy day thanks for that link. I can understand better now.

    I guess I'll just have to deal with it as an extra boost when my will power is low to workout ;)

    Um.

    Yes, certain ab moves can occasionally make exercise more interesting than others for me.

    Well, now I know this is not weird at all! I do find myself more aroused, but never while actually working out. I do have to deal with it usually by the end of the day or whenever I can find a few minutes privately or else I find myself going crazy.
