Not as Hard as You ThinkAs I approach my 40th birthday, I know as well as anyone how hard it can be to get back in shape and stay that way. It's just how our bodies and minds are wired. It's all too easy to come home from work, eat dinner, and sack out on the couch until bed time. And I'm sorry but 30 minutes a day on the Bowflex isn't going to have you looking like the guy in the TV commercial....I don't care what age you are. It takes dedication, discipline, and a few good reasons why. You aren't going to look like Triple H after reading this, but it might be what you need in order to get off the couch and start a daily exercise program. You can do it!
Why you need to do it
I'm sure that you know all the reasons for starting an exercise program but I'll state a few that you might not know.
To feel good - When you exercise, work out, ride a bike,jog, walk ect. your body releases endorphins that make you feel good. It becomes like a drug and will get you pumped up after a few workouts if you can't feel it the first time.....not make you tired.
To have better sex - When a man approaches 40, things don't work as well as they did when he was 30. That's why urologists the world over prescribe a regular exercise program to improve your sex life rather than Viagra or any other ED medication. Strengthening of the heart is the key because, as my urologist told me, "it's the pump that runs the machine". Not only will you respond faster, but you'll last longer.
To alleviate depression - Studies have shown that a regular exercise regimen can help keep depression at bay. If you've been diagnosed with any sort of depression, one of the best bits of advice from experts in that field is to work out.
L- Arginine - The Secret Weapon
According to Dr Ann de Wees Allen, L- Arginine is an amino acid referred to by scientists as "The Miracle Molecule". Stimulation of one of most potent anti-aging hormone in the body, growth hormone, reduces healing time, and is a natural form of Viagra.
After we pass our mid 20's, the amount of human growth hormone our bodies produce declines steadily. Using Pharmaceutical Grade L - Arginine helps our bodies naturally produce growth hormone therefore allowing us to build muscle like we did when we were in our 20's.....or a bit easier than one would if he didn't use L- Arginine.
L- Arginine also improves circulation which can improve sexual performance ( it all goes back to the heart).
Read about L- Arginine before taking it.
