After my second spinal surgery, I discovered just how important daily exercise really is. From the time of the surgery, until I could start exercising again, I got so out of shape that I got winded doing very minor tasks. That took me to the point of getting lazy. I finally had to make up my mind that I had to do something about it. Every morning, I do about 45 minutes of stretching, followed by 150 push-ups. (Not all at once, of course) I'm on my feet a lot at work, so I get a lot of walking in. With the exercise, vitimins, and a couple of herbal supplements, I feel like I'm in better shape than I was 10 years ago. And the libido? Absoluetly nothing wrong with that, and I'm 57.

About two year ago, I went to see a provider at an incall. I arived early and while I was waiting I wandered into the workout room. There was a scale in the corner with the little weights that you move until you determine your poundage. So I stepped up on it and began pushing the little weight. To my chagrin I kept pushing the little weight and pushing the little weight until it went past the 270lb. mark and settled at 274lbs.

I was shocked. Until that moment I had never been over 260. Anyway, very shortly thereafter I began exercising. I purposed to take a year and get back in shape.

I now go to the gym about three days a week. When I go, I do twenty to thirty minutes of aerobics (usually swimming) and approximately an hour of weights. Since that time, I have dropped over 20 pounds. As an aside, I am soon to be 57 and my chiroprator told me that "at my age" (don't you love to hear that phrase), it was just as important to do resistance training as it was to do aerobics for the maintenance of muscle mass and bone density.

But being in better shape has definitely helped my sexual performance. I think my manhood is a little longer because he doesn't have to go as far to come out. I can see the provider performing a BJ because my stomach is flatter and if for some reason it takes me longer than usual to finish, I can go like the energizer bunny and not run down.

This was discussed a few weeks back.  Over the past couple or three years I've dropped 4 inches off my waist, and added 4 to my shoulders.  Now my armpits are broader than my hips, whereas before my hips were wider than my shoulders.

My theory is that all the blood required to support the fat, that is now gone, now has a easier path to the erogenous zone.
