Testosterone is made in the testes. It is a hormone that influences the mind and spermatogenesis. Potassium calcium sodium magnesium and phosphorus are the primary ingredients in muscle contractions. Muscle contraction alters the ph of the muscle making it acidic which in turn makes the bloodstream alkaline because bicarb is taken from the bloodstream to balance the muscle ph. This results in deep respirations to blow off excess carbonic acid. Working out increases testosterone because it heats up the body and increases blood flow. Adequate blood flow and correct temperature provide the testes with the right environment for testosterone production. The body creates testosterone at a constant rate that can only be controlled by keeping the environment stable and correct. To hot to cold or not enough blood flow inhibits production. source - army medic Testosterone isn’t made in muscles. Testosterone is made in the testes.

Exercise for me is about feeling good and that is what it gives me. What is a sexy body is only defined by what the media portrays or what an individual thinks so really a sexy body can vary from person to person, however having a healthy body is always the same.

I especially enjoyed reading the reflection part! For so long, I thought that I can do my work properly without being fit at all. I smoked, drank a lot but still for some reason thought that my mind will be clear and be able to solve problems! Boy was I wrong! You have hit these issues right on the head. Exercise is not just about having a body...so much more gives! Thank you for this post! It means a lot! Michael Hi there,

However some exercise is better than none, but to stick to it means keeping it interesting and challenging, mentally I also believe it is like achieving a goal, if you can reach short goals in the gym and with your own appearance then it may actually get you to set higher goals in your own life and achieve personal success x I really think that all the points are valid n are true to a certain degree however to the last comment by anon, I don’t think sex is very good at all but the endorphin rush from a good workout and a general feel of self worth from regular exercise is more than enough to keep me happy on a day to day basis, for those who find exercise boring I suggest you vary your workout and also think that maybe you aren’t pushing yourselves hard enough, I get frustrated when I see people reading the newspaper on the exercise bike, surely you would want to challenge yourself a little more than that?
