Free Fitness Program: Sex Appeal and Physical Fitness

Because we LOVE to eat and won’t diet we spend at least an hour and a half walking every day. Nearly two miles of it is a steep grade. The locals call it heart attack hill. As former runners with arthritic joints, we view the challenge as a way to get a runner’s high without additional joint damage.

But the other big payoff is we look decades younger than we really are. Our bodies don’t have layers of flabby, unattractive fat deposits. A bikini is still possible for me and I don’t have to wear “Mom jeans”. Additionally, my legs with their long, smooth muscles are sexy enough to turn heads everywhere we go. Even our abdominal muscles are tighter.

Walking for exercise has a number of benefits.

  1. It helps regulate weight without unpleasant dieting.
  2. Walking is good exercise regardless of age.
  3. Walking can improve heart health and diabetes. If you did ever have a heart attack, you are much more likely to survive.
  4. Endorphins cause the runner high and help alleviate depression. It’s also a great time to step away from problems, think more clearly and come up with solutions.
  5. Walking is a pleasant way to spend time with your lover and your dog.
  6. Losing weight and gaining a leaner, more muscular body can make a big difference in how attractive any body looks.
  7. A stronger, healthier body will insure you feel like getting naked and making love.

Your walking goal should be about 4 miles a day (it doesn’t have to be all at once), but even a much shorter distance will make you look and feel better. An additional step for sex appeal and body strengthening and shaping is weight training. Lifting weights and weight training will help keep your body strong and attractive into old age. It also raises your metabolism so you loose weight while eating the same amount of food.

Such a big part of physical attraction is essential strength. At least some people who become sexually dysfunctional and/or in need of nursing care at a young age are literally too weak to care for themselves. Like my grandpa used to say, “If you sit down, you’ll freeze up.”

Don’t freeze up. Get moving and find your sex appeal.
