The Role of Strength Training
Resistance training provides critical hormonal and metabolic benefits:
- Increases baseline testosterone signaling
- Preserves muscle mass with aging
- Improves insulin sensitivity
- Reduces chronic inflammation
Muscle is not just structural tissue — it is a powerful endocrine organ that supports hormonal balance.
The Role of Cardio
Cardiovascular training supports the vascular side of sexual health:
- Improves circulation and nitric oxide production
- Protects penile arteries and endothelial function
- Lowers blood pressure
- Enhances physical and mental endurance
Healthy blood flow is essential for reliable erectile function.
The Ideal Mix for Most Men
For sustainable sexual and metabolic health, most men benefit from:
- 3 weekly sessions of strength training
- 2–3 sessions of moderate-intensity cardio
- Avoiding excessive chronic endurance training, which can suppress testosterone when overdone
Consistency and recovery matter more than extremes.
Strength training builds hormones. Cardio keeps the blood vessels functional.
Conclusion
When combined intelligently, strength training and cardio form the foundation of long-term male sexual health, performance, and vitality. Build muscle to support hormones — and train the heart to keep blood flow strong.
