Preserves your sex drive
Any self respecting man wants to preserve their sex drive for as long as they can hold off the effects of aging. But do you know that gaining weight can have a negative effect on your sex drive as well? According to studies, a person who gains a five point increase in their body mass index showed a decrease in their testosterone levels. It went down to levels that are associated with a man who is ten years older than their age. A five point increase is just a 30 pound increase in weight.
You also influence your partner
It was discovered that people who live a healthy lifestyle actually influences their spouses to actually lose weight as well. This is already a great reason to hit those weights or do those runs.
Enjoy sex more
