Testosterone is the hormone that gives men more muscles, lower voices, and typically higher sex drives than women. As men age, their testosterone levels naturally decline…giving way to decreased energy, erectile dysfunction, obesity, depression, and a reduced sex drive. 

Simply put, low testosterone makes life less enjoyable.

The good news? There are things that you can do to get those testosterone levels back up. Depending on your age and baseline testosterone, exercise may be all you need to feel like you again. But not all training is equal when it comes to boosting testosterone. 

In this article, we’ll tell you which exercises are the most beneficial if you want to regain the testosterone levels you had when you were younger.

Cardio vs. Weights and Testosterone Levels

Most exercise is beneficial for testosterone levels. The only way you’re likely to decrease your testosterone is if you work out way too hard. But unless you’re running a weekly marathon, you probably won’t run into that issue. 

Research shows that active men have higher testosterone levels than sedentary men. So, if you’re a couch potato who doesn’t lift weights or do cardio, either one is likely to result in heightened testosterone. 

However, if you’re going to commit yourself to a new workout routine, why not create the most powerful one? Here are the types of exercise that science shows are best to increase testosterone levels in men.

Resistance Training

Lifting weights is the best type of exercise for men looking to increase their testosterone levels. Studies show that weight lifting increases testosterone both in the short term and long term. 

Compound exercises are the most effective when it comes to quickly boosting testosterone levels. These are exercises that work more than one body part at once. Squats and pull-ups are two of the best compound exercises for men. 

For the best results, aim to do around three sets of 6-8 reps—and you want to be maxing out when you get to the last set. The idea is heavy weights, but be sure that you know what you’re doing so you avoid unnecessary injuries.

High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)

HIIT is an exercise technique during which you give your all for short, intense bursts separated by short recovery periods. An example would be going between sprinting at your top speed for 90 seconds followed by a slow jog for 90 seconds. Repeat this until you’re tired, slowly aiming for 20-30 minute workouts. 

HIIT is also great for losing weight, and obesity hurts testosterone levels. It’s the best type of cardio for shedding extra pounds and increasing overall testosterone levels.

Low Testosterone Ruining Your Sex Life?

Does sex not seem as interesting to you as it once did? Maybe your ability to get it up for your wife has floundered, and you’re left wondering what you can do to get back on track. 

While exercise and a healthy diet—one that consists of healthy whole foods and no fast foods or processed foods—is enough for many men, it isn’t enough for everyone. Some guys have clinically low testosterone levels that require medication to get back on track. Visiting your doctor may be the difference between maintaining a healthy sex life as you get older and becoming a sexual recluse. 

Once you’re back on track, why not aim to become even more of a sexual Adonis than you were before? Use the Phalogenics male enhancement plan to add inches to your erection, and at the same time, boost oxygen supply to your penis to keep it healthy for many years to come.
