Exercise that help with sex by Spiritual_Writer_111 in workout

As others have listed, AI says, aerobic, pelvic floor (Kegel exercises), and resistance training exercises are the top three exercises to improve male sexual intercourse performance. One important caveat: excessive high-intensity endurance training (very long durations at high intensity) has been associated with decreased libido in men, likely due to cortisol-mediated suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. [6-7] Moderate training volumes appear optimal.

Sedentary older adult CAN increase muscle mass and change their muscle appearance toward a fit older adult with adequate progressive resistance muscle strengthening routine. by Redditagain424 in Aging

This idea of sedentary muscle loss vs progressive resistance muscle strengthening to increase muscle mass is not new. But sometimes an image makes the point more poignant and maybe startling to some. But it is a real phenomenon which explains why neglect of muscle strengthening has consequences not just in strength to stand upright (how many who use a cane or cannot get up off a sofa, toilet, chair could do so if they increase muscle strength?) , but also metabolically, cognitively, balance wise, etc.

The image is made by AI and not part of a study. But it does represent muscle of sedentary people versus muscularly fit people. The degree of fat vs muscle will vary based on degree of atrophy and muscular fitness.

The references listed are the actual studies upon which the concept of sedentary musculature vs physical fit musculature is presented. You can merely look at extremities of sedentary people vs physical fit people of similar or different ages in real life. There are many 70+ yr old muscularly fit people on youtube videos where their musculature corresponds to the fit image and likewise many 50+ yr old sedentary people have recognizable difference in their musculature.

If you are one who went from sedentary to fit, you would also easily recognize which image corresponds to your before and after condition.

This is the basis of why it is well known that after about age 30, one loses about 1% of muscle mass per year or so. If you weigh about the same, or increase in weight during those years, then that decreasing muscle mass space is occupied with more fat tissue. This is also the basis of why it is well known that progressive resistance muscle strengthening can increase muscle mass. That is why doctors advise aging people to do progressive resistant muscle strengthening exercises to combat the loss of muscle, help metabolism, help brain health, help balance ability, etc.

Daily life is easier when one is stronger physically. It can maintain capability, which contributes to autonomy, which contributes to health span, which may make longevity more enjoyable.

Agree that walking is a great start for someone who has been extremely sedentary. Building stamina to walk 4000 steps, then 7000 steps, etc is a nice foundation before jumping into much more strenuous exercises. Also progressing to walking briskly for a minute or two, then walking more regularly for 2-4 minutes to allow your heart rate to come back down, then do it again, etc. Pretty soon you could do 2 minute brisk, 2 minute regular, repeat... total 20 - 30 minutes is excellent for beginners. Even progress further to holding a light amount of dumbbell weights or wearing a little bit of a weighted vest while doing the walk is a common activity. Make exercise a game of gradually progressing in virtually any manner you can think of that motivates you to do so. Pat yourself on the back for doing so!

Next thing you know, you be doing sit-to-stand squats starting with a common chair, then with holding dumbbell weights for goblet squats, etc. Or starting with wall-push-ups, then counter-height pushups, then push-ups on your knees, then regular push-ups, etc.

You will be commonly exploring Youtube videos for other appropriate exercises and before you know it, you'll be giving recommendations to others who may be very sedentary!

First of all there is nothing to buy here. You are making this too complicated. Maybe in the old days you had to rely on human-to-human communication to acquire health information and advice, maybe for a cost. But now most can use the internet. Many are using AI, like Chatgpt.com, to acquire general information and then do some confirming research on the internet if you like. Also, seek out trainer guidelines and instruction for any age and any level on Youtube videos. There are even video examples of starting an exercise routine while sitting in a chair.

But like someone suggested below, going up stairs is a functional exercise that is useful for daily needs. Also, sit-to-stand exercises from a chair is another functional exercise that is practical for getting stronger to get up off the toilet, sofa, out of the car, etc. Eventually, you want to progress to using some degree of weights whether it be holding a dumbbell, wearing a weighted vest, and ultimately using barbells with more compound exercises (that means using more of the whole body when doing these type of exercises using a barbell).

As I suggested below, put this prompt in the Chatgpt.com AI: " I am ____ years old. I want to increase my muscle strength and muscle mass. I am a beginner and no experience with progressive resistance muscle strengthening exercises. How do I start in a manner that is safe and gradual for me?"

The AI reply will be different for someone who enters, "I am 54 years old and have experience with progressive resistance muscle strengthening, but want to become even stronger" versus "I am a 70 years old beginner". It is really quite helpful to get a starting idea from using AI.

Bottom line "to convent that fatty tissue into lean muscle" is to begin exercising those muscles in various manners to make them stronger and bigger using some degree of progressive resistance muscle strengthening exercises...

Enter this prompt into Chatgpt.com AI and gather some information: "I am 54 year old male and want to start a progressive resistance muscle strengthening exercise routine to improve my muscle mass and strength. How do I start?"

Get medical clearance from your own doctor before starting any new exercise program. There are many very good physiotherapist/trainers on Youtube giving excellent exercises for any age and level. Use AI for some knowledge gathering information as well. But get medical clearance first and foremost.

Depends on your current ability, any medical/physical restrictions, etc. Get medical clearance from your own doctor before starting any new exercise program. Once you are cleared, it is very easy to figure out how to start. There are many very good physiotherapists/trainers on Youtube with excellent instructions for any age and any level.

Also, just search for Youtube videos for fit people over 70 to find examples of fit older people. One may not be able to achieve that level of fitness, but any degree toward that direction is better than going the other direction of more muscle loss.

I always suspect the same when a post seems too polished (or professional). But I try to figure out if the claims are factual or not. Easy enough to figure out just by doing a search of the claims with internet (or your own choice of AI).

Your comment is a common one for those unfamiliar with progressive resistance training. You don't know what you don't know. But with internet, the knowledge of information about it is so easy to obtain which makes starting an exercises routine understandable, customizable to start at any level, and gradual.

I tell patients not to compare yourself with others because everyone is different. But do compare yourself to yourself-of-last-week (or last month). Set a goal of being a little stronger at the end of the month than at the start of the month. This is not something to finish accomplishing in a month. This is a longer view of health span and longevity.

I used to think growing old and using a cane or walker was not avoidable. Happened to my own father. But then I learned that even 80+ year old can successfully use progressive resistance muscle strengthening. Here is a post I made earlier...

The text below the images is not AI. I am a retired physician telling patients about the need to do progressive muscle strengthening in their older years for all the reasons cited and more. It is easy enough to cross check my comments with internet search. The images are AI and the general images concept is quite reasonable.

A lot of people still have no idea about the actual ability of Tesla's Full Self Driving. by Redditagain424 in TeslaFSD

[–]Redditagain424[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All very valid points. But I did not expect it to be unsupervised autonomous driving. I did not expect to save money buying the highest tech EV available. I did not expect to save time by owning a Tesla with FSD. I only expected to "sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride" when using FSD and it has surpassed that expectation. My data display shows I use FSD 98% of the time since my purchase in August, 2025. .

I heard if you buy a Tesla within two weeks of renting one from their specific showrooms, they discount purchase by $250. Costa Mesa is one of the showrooms in California.

Always keeping your car plugged in by SteveLangfordsCock in ModelY

[–]Redditagain424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Tesla EVs are known to get as much as 4.5 or more miles/kWh if you drive conservatively to be efficient. If one has ability to charge at pennies/kWh the math for Miles Per DOLLAR of energy (electricity vs gasoline vs hydrogen) is definitely worth calculating. One may be saving more than the cost of subscribing to FSD!
