Day 61: P90X Followed by P90XXX

I once asked a former girlfriend what she wanted for Christmas. She gave me a coy look and said, "get me something that makes me look sexy." Boy was she pissed when I bought her an exercise bike.

I don't have to worry about that anymore. My girlfriend, Karen, loves to exercise as much as I do and she already looks sexy. Whenever Karen's not working out with one of her trainers or taking an exercise bootcamp, she's doing a P90X workout with me in my garage. Karen's incredibly athletic and can do more reps with better form on most of the exercises. Thank God, I'm still able to lift more than her.

Today, I want to tell you about one of the best side-effects of exercise. Your sex life gets a whole lot better! As your cardiovascular health improves, you can be much more enthusiastic in your endeavors and have the endurance to go a long time and hold unusual positions. Of course, you want to have the muscular strength required for those unusual positions. As you increase your flexibility you will also open up a wonderland of possibilities. Finally, exercise is scientifically proven to reduce the two biggest libido-killers, stress and fatigue.

When I was fat, out of shape, and smoking a pack a day, sex was the last...er...maybe not the last, but it wasn't the first thing on my mind...like it is now. Since I've gotten myself back into shape, I feel like an lion. Hear me roar. Part of this is probably a result of the better self-image you have when you are fit; you look in the mirror and like what you see. Your partner's also going to like what they see and probably let you know it.

In the photo, Karen is doing the Mason Twist during the 15 minute P90X Ab Ripper X workout that follows the hour-long P90X Leg and Back workout. I'm feeling so good and Karen's looking so good that I'm going to see if she wants to do a special P90XXX workout when were finished. Can you blame me?
