It’s rare that we come across a piece of content that applies to both the “Fit” and “Sexed” parts of our site’s title, but that’s exactly what we found in this video promoting couples fitness program WeFitFor2.
The system aims to motivate couples to get fit by keeping each other accountable. It’s already been written up in Men’s Health‘s Sex and Fitness series, and as you’ll see in the clip below, was featured on NBC’s The Today Show:
Jena La Flamme is a Writer/Speaker/Certified Holistic Health Counselor/Weight Loss Coach as well as being the Jena Wellness Center. A real renaissance woman in the field of “being better”, Jena has an interesting and useful blog on her website JenaWellness.com.
Jena’s career in the healing arts began 11 years ago during her first visit to India. Touched by the message that the fulfillment we seek already resides within us, Jena launched into focused study of nutrition,yoga and meditation, where she experienced their power first hand, and her life was transformed.
Jena is now primarily a speaker. She speaks to groups of varying sizes, from small and intimate to groups of several hundred. No group is too big for Jena! Her ideal speaking opportunity? An organization that is passionately devoted to the health of its employees or a professional women’s group. (Via Her Blog’s About Page)

Tired of expensive spa treatments and arduous beauty regimens? It’s a little known fact that sex can benefit your looks as well as the other obvious benefits. Below, author Ettore David Mazzei lists 12 ways that Sex can act as a beauty treatment.
1) When women make love they produce hormones that make their hair shine and skin glow.
2) Gentle relaxed lovemaking reduces your chances of skin blemishes.
3) Wild sex makes you sweat which cleanses the pores making for a healthy body.
4) This one is almost embarrassing to list because it is so lame, but as we all know lovemaking burns off the calories from all the food you ate today.
5) Sex stretches and tones many muscles in the body (including but not limited to Pelvis, hips, abdominals and pubycoccyeals.) Some enjoy it more than being on the treadmill for a half hour.

If you live in the New York area, you’ve more than likely seen the mug of Dr. Mehmet Oz mozying along on the side of a city bus. Having personally witnessed this ad about 1,000 times I gave in. I tuned in and checked out what the good doctor had to say (check out your local listings here).
Here’s a clip from a recent episode:
It turned out that the Dr. Oz show was incredibly informative and relevant to issues that come u in everyday life. Whether it’s staying clear of germs at the supermarket or how to reduce the amount of gas you have, Dr. Oz seems to have all the answers. After being mesmerized by the show two afternoons in a row, I decided to get the skinny on this entertaining, and inspiring man.
The best way to describe askdanandjennifer.com is bystating that it’s like the sex-ed class you never got in high school…but always wanted. And it’s not the type of want that makes you look like sordid liscentious pervert. Everyone has these questions but, due to societal taboos which instruct us that embracing sexuality is debased and depraved, no one asks them. Enter Dan and Jennifer. This dynamic duo of so-called ”debauchery” throws inhibitions to the wind and proceeds by the maverick mantra of, “Hey…Someone’s gotta tell you this stuff and if noone else will do it…WE WILL!” But wait…There’s More!

If you guessed the Big “O” as in orgasm you are only partially right.
The answer is oxygen. The letter O is in the air we breath O2, the water we drink H2O and in most foods we eat.

In my view the same factors that are affecting your sexual enjoyment are the same factors that are affecting your energy levels, vitality and happiness.
The chemicals, pesticides, artificial colors, among other man substances that are put into our food messes up
our body chemistry which is linked to the central nervous system. Other factors that mess with our body chemistry include stress, lack of exercise, smoking, negative thoughts, taking prescription drugs, over the counter drugs, illegal drugs and drinking too much alcohol. All these factors affect your physical, mental and spiritual well being negatively. (more…)
