For most of us, the word that best describes working out is BOOOOOOR-ING!

Meanwhile, one of the words that best describes sex is WHOOO HOOO!

Ok, so it’s not a word, but who cares? The latter is a feeling of great excitement and desire for more. So how do we turn our workout into a whooo hooo! experience?

Exercise increases energy, allows you to fully develop dormant muscles, increases self-esteem, helps with depression and promotes an increase in lifespan.

Paul Pearsall, Ph.D., author of Superimmunity: Master Your Emotions and Improve Your Health, notes, "Sex boosts chemicals in the body that protect against disease."

See the link? Now it’s time to experience the joy of sweats! Let’s shake things up with a short-term plan.

The workout I’m providing is based on a six-week plan to get your metabolism revved, as well as to increase your endurance and strength levels. Just remember: it won’t work if your nutrition is not effective. So if you haven’t joined eDiets.com, now is the time.

After six weeks, you can scale back, increase or completely change the routine.

Your attitude will be important. Approach this workout with a sense of playfulness, and you’ll reap the rewards: better self-esteem, better energy, a better body and a heightened enjoyment of sex.

THE WORKOUT

Sets and repetitions are provided for each exercise. An example is 1x10-15 which simply means one set of 10-15 repetitions. Concerning cardio, high intensity refers to a challenging level, but one where you would still be able to hold a conversation.

Begin with a 5-minute cardio warmup. Then, begin the routine. Move from one exercise to the next at your own pace, but as you progress try to pick the pace.
