Exercise enhances sex life by lowering your risk of erectile dysfunction (ED). Being overweight is a risk factor for ED and regular exercise helps maintain healthy body weight.
One Harvard study of more than 31,000 men found that physically active men over age 50 were less likely to be impotent than inactive men. The exercisers had better erections, and those who were most active saw the most benefit.
But even moderate levels of exercise, like a brisk 30-minute walk most days of the week, lowered the risk of ED. Other research suggests that many men with ED may even reverse their symptoms by getting fit.
