THE NHS has some new advice for people struggling to schedule a fitness routine into their daily lives - a workout between the sheets.

Yes according to the NHS Direct website, Sexercise can lower the risk of heart attacks and helps people live longer.

Forget hitting the road in your trainers and instead opt for a spot of horizontal jogging people!

It claims that the feel-good hormones endorphins released during orgasm stimulate immune system cells, which also helps target illnesses like cancer - as well as getting rid of wrinkles and deep frown lines!

(At last some good news on this blog!!)

The advice, published under the headline “Get more than zeds in bed” says regular romps fused with imagination and a little energy can provide a workout worthy of an athlete.

NHS Direct states: “Sex uses every muscle group, gets the heart and lungs working hard, and burns about 300 calories an hour.”

And goes on to say that sex will not only lead to a better body and younger look but will also “make your hair shine and your skin smooth”.

As if this isn’t enough for us all to be heading for the bedroom, orgasms also release painkillers into the bloodstream, which helping keep mild illnesses like colds and aches and pains at bay. T
he production of extra oestrogen and testosterone hormones “will keep your bones and muscles healthy, leaving you feeling fabulous inside and out.”

I have been telling you all that the way to stick to an exercise regime is to find something that you enjoy so here you go! JOB DONE!

I am now off to find a study that proves that eating chocolate makes you thin and drinking vodka makes you happy and good looking.

(Well we already know vodka makes you happy and consumed in large quantities can certainly make the opposite sex more attractive).
