Before I tell you about how to boost your testosterone levels naturally, you should know what is testosterone and why good levels of this hormone should matter to you?

Testosterone is the male primary sex hormone that is present in the majority amount in males and in some amount in females as well. It is a steroid hormone, produced in men’s testicles and women’s ovaries.

This gives males its characteristics such as muscle mass, dense voice, facial hair, sex drive, Mood, the way body stores fat, and the count of red blood cells as well.

The production of this hormone starts from the age of 11(Puberty) and begins to slightly drop after 30 when you progressively age.

Since having a low amount of testosterone can cause,

1.Less Energy/Fatigue

2.Mood swings/Low Mood

3.Lack of sex drive

4.Muscle and bone loss

5.Low self-esteem/Depression

6.Weight Gain

7. Hair thinning/hair loss

That is why it is very important to have a healthy or balanced amount of testosterone levels in your body.

So what are some exercise that will help you to boost your testosterone levels

1.Skipping rope

Probably my personal favorite exercise to do any time of the day which also helped me and a lot of my clients to lose extra fat from there body during the lockdown period.
If you are one who doesn’t know how to do skipping rope it is just like cycling, remember how we use to fall from the cycle in our childhood, the same way you will learn how to do skipping over a week or so, how to include variations in skipping which further leads to more calorie burn.

Overall from your joint health, mobility, better coordination, lean body skipping rope is way more fun than any other exercise. Thus doing skipping every day for about 500–800 skipping a day will definitely help you to strengthen legs and whole body, and finally help to elevate testosterone levels.

The best skipping rope that you can use is this one[https://amzn.to/2GmRZ7f], just make slow and steady progress every day with correct form, and trust me you will love the end felling after the workout.

2.Weight lifting

Weight lifting is the best type of exercise to increase the metabolic rate, strengths the body, build muscles, and lose fat, which overall helps you to increase testosterone levels in your body.

The best type of exercise in weight training you can perform is squats, deadlifts, bench press and shoulder press which are compound exercise(that involves multiple muscle groups at the same time)

The point to be taken care of is to never ever skip your legs day, legs are the most important and the biggest muscle group of the human body. Training your legs every week will definitely help you to build a good foundation.

3.Free bodyweight exercise

Exercises like pullups, pushups, free squats, burpees, and some HIIT kinds of exercise which are mostly involved around the bodyweight of the human help to increase the strength of your body and similarly elevate the testosterone levels.

Just to add more fun and benefits in your workouts add some kind of HIIT workouts as well at the end of your workout, which will increase your calorie expenditure and will make you energetic for the day.

4.Running/Sprint

Just short running or sprinting performed in a short span of time with full intensity will help your heart rate to go up and to produce a good amount of HGH(Human growth hormone) in your body along with testosterone

The key thing here will be to perform well and your fun-loving types of workouts that perform in a short span of time like 45–50 minutes with minimal rest between the sets.

And yes exercise is just the beginning to boost your testosterone levels the other two main things are a good and healthy diet with deep sleep.

If you miss any one, you will miss the whole picture. Also not to get too obsessed with it, do it with fun and moderation.

Have fun and boost your testosterone levels to experience the best version of your body.

Thanks For Reading!!!
