LIFT is a web magazine for the adventurer in all of us (not necessarily the gym goer) -- successful men and women who work hard and play harder. Fitness isn’t about living at the gym, it’s about living at your peak, no matter what stands in your way. It’s about obeying the alarm clock, peeling yourself out of bed, and finding that extra hour most people think they’ll never have.

LIFT items are selected either by myself or by one of my guest editors. If you have a cool tip, please share it with me! And, no, you can't pay to be featured on LIFT. That's what advertising is for, and it's clearly labeled as such. I do not want to destroy the legitimacy, integrity, and fun of this blog.

For the most part, I take the photos ... but from time to time I use Getty Images, iStockphoto (where I am currently a stock photographer) and Bauer-Griffin.

BlogBurst.comLastly, this site is syndicated through Blogburst, so it's likely that you'll see LIFT on Fox News, Reuters, or USA Today.com.

I hope that you continue to enjoy LIFT. I look forward to publishing it.

Increase Your Libido with Exercise 

Sex-and-Exercise.pngBlind dates who are much older than they claim online, drunk surgeons, O.J. Simpson.

Not everyone deserves a second chance.

Sex and exercise, on the other hand, are definitely worthy of a round two. You already know that exercise makes you look and feel better. But did you know that exercise, quite literally, makes you want to have sex? After a good workout (not limited to the gym, think hike, bike and climbing too), men and women alike experience a spike of testosterone (the famed "pump" of bodybuilding), the hormone that influences sexual arousal. And, yes, exercising improves blood flow to the genitals and reduces stress; a cycle which can lead to more sex.

And, it seems that having more sex (which means at least twice a week), is better for you than previously thought. Sex can do wonders for everyone both physically and psychologically. You will gradually notice that the more sex you have, the more bounce you will have in each step (and the more sex you will want) -- so if you're not quite interested in sex, I suggest exercising to jumpstart your libido and while you're at it check out our new Sexual Health column.

How's that for motivation?

I tell this to my clients all the time! It's amazing how much exercise can improve our desire... it helps boost convidence and when you feel better about yourself of course you're more excited about prancing around for your partner.
