Testosterone is an important hormone that helps develop and maintain muscle mass, increases bone density and supports reproductive health.
Most testosterone in the body is bound to protein, only a small amount called free testosterone helps circulate in the blood and participates directly in activities such as building muscle and bones.
One of the effective ways to increase testosterone naturally is to do resistance exercises (such as weightlifting, push-ups, squats, etc.). When you exercise heavily, your body receives signals that it needs muscle recovery and growth, thereby stimulating more testosterone production.
In particular, complex exercises, which are exercises that mobilize multiple muscle groups at the same time, often bring higher efficiency than simple exercises or aerobics.
The classic push-ups are a complex exercise that uses the chest, back arms, shoulders and core muscles. By affecting many muscle groups, push-ups help stimulate the body to produce testosterone better than individual exercises.
However, there is no regulation on the number of push-ups or which exercise time is suitable for everyone. The level of hormone improvement depends on age, gender, fitness and overall health.
In addition, we should combine it with large muscle group exercises such as squats or deadlifts that can stimulate strong testosterone, due to the increased muscle mass.
Finally, to maintain healthy hormones, make sure to balance exercise and rest to recover.
