The Science Behind How Cycling Can Improve Orgasms

Image
Cycling is a popular form of exercise that can provide a range of health benefits, from improving cardiovascular function to reducing stress and anxiety. But did you know that cycling can also potentially enhance your sexual function and lead to stronger, more intense orgasms? Here's what you need to know about the science behind how cycling can improve orgasms. The Link Between Exercise and Sexual Function Regular exercise, including cycling, can have a positive impact on sexual function for both men and women. This is because exercise can improve cardiovascular health, increase blood flow, and boost the production of sex hormones, all of which can contribute to better sexual function. For women , cycling can help to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which are important for sexual function and can contribute to stronger, more intense orgasms. In particular, cycling can target the pubococcygeus (PC) muscle, which is responsible for controlling bladder and bowel function as well ...

How riding a bicycle 100 miles a week changes your health

Image
How riding a bicycle 100 miles a week changes your health I usually ride at least 100 miles per week, sometimes much more when I am training for a long distance ride. Once I started riding that much, I started noticing signs of becoming more healthy.  In the winter time, my cycling drops off and, unfortunately, my eating ramps up. It does not take long to feel the health benefits I built up going away. Riding 100 miles a week works out to 20 miles a day if you ride 5 days a week and around 17 miles if you ride 6 days. I do not recommend riding 7 days a week every week because your body needs the rest.  If you are new to riding, 20 miles may sound like a lot but it is actually easy to work up to that and pretty soon you might even start to look at 20 miles as an "easy ride day." Check out the rest of this post to see how riding a bicycle 100 miles a week changes your health. Riding a bicycle is a great way to exercise and improve your health. It is a low-impact activity that i...

Acupuncture and Cycling: A Winning Combination for Seniors

Image
As people age, it is common for them to experience various physical ailments, including joint pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. For seniors who enjoy cycling, these issues can be especially frustrating, as they may limit their ability to enjoy their favorite activity. However, there is a potential solution that has been gaining popularity in recent years: acupuncture. I have used acupuncture a number of years and have always been happy with the results it gives me. I find that my joint pain is less after going through a session. I first went to an acupuncturist back in my 20's when someone said that I could throw away my blood pressure medicine after going a few times. Surprisingly, it worked too. I was sold on it and that is why I still use it today in my late 60's. Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves inserting fine needles into specific points on the body. It is believed to help alleviate pain and improve overall health by restoring the ...

From Spectator to Cyclist: How Watching Bicycle Events Motivated Me to Get Fit

Image
There was a time in my life when I used to go to bicycle events just to watch. I loved the atmosphere, the energy, and the excitement of the cyclists speeding by. But as much as I enjoyed being a spectator, I couldn't help but feel like a big blob. Watching all those fit, toned cyclists made me realize just how out of shape I was. At first, I didn't think much of it. I would simply sit on the sidelines and cheer on the cyclists, wishing I could be as fit and fast as they were. But as time went on, I started to feel increasingly self-conscious about my own physique. I would try to hide in the crowd, hoping nobody would notice how out of shape I was. Then one day, something inside me clicked. Instead of feeling sorry for myself, I realized that I had the power to change my situation. I didn't have to sit on the sidelines anymore. I could be one of those fit, toned cyclists too. So I decided to take action. I started going to the gym regularly, working out and building up my e...
