From learning the best 28 bedroom tips ever to eating the 10 best libido-boosting grub, there are plenty of ways every MH reader knows how to improve their game between the sheets. But the thing that makes you better than any other lover? Your gym work. Here’s why you’re a better lover than any marathon runner, cyclist or yoga teacher...

1. Exercise makes you last longer

Face the facts: she’s going to tell her friends how it was, so you can expect some, shall we say, friendly looks when you next see them. Why? You can easily stretch out a session to an hour thanks to the stamina built up from intense gym work. Just one 20-minute HIIT session will spike the endurance you need to go again and again (and again). In fact, according to a study published in American Journal of Physiology, these short HIIT sessions are twice as effective than cycling or running at building up your endurance. That’s right, science says you’re two times better at sex than Mo Farah.

In fact, you’re 30% less likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction than the normal man, according to research from Harvard University. You’re not just great at lifting weights, you know.
