    Before I went to Phil and married Chryss I had been cycling regularly for the previous 6 months and had given up smoking too.
    Also I had taken a supplement called Maca.
    I only wanted to see if it had any effect and hey presto Chryss got pregnant.
    I wouldnt bother with ginseng as I beleive its just a stimulant and not something that increases sperm count and motility which I beleive is what you`re after!
    I don`t beleive it`s an overnight thing, more like a month or two.

    Certain types of exercise can have a damaging effect on male sperm production. One of the worst forms of exercise for this is cycling or mountain biking. Mountain bikers have been proven to register less then half the sperm count and sperm movement than non-cyclists. The semen alterations are thought to be caused by impounding damage to both the testes and the scrotum, the repeated trauma is considered to be the main reason for the vascular damage and the subsequent effects on sperm motility.

    Thats ok, don`t do mountain biking and being a cyclist for many years i`ve read many things for and against any health related issues.
    Also cyclists wear padded shorts nowadays and the seats are designed to take pressure off the sensitive areas and just use the sit bone.
    The lower blood pressure gained from the regular excercise helps too.
    Anyway, regardless of any articles, my sperm and other issues are fine!
    Theres always issues with any excercise, running makes your joints weak cos of the impact. So they improve the shoes to resist the impact and it helps.
    One things for certain, sitting on your fat will always be sitting on your fat and bad for your health.
    Worth noting that I was also a smoker for the best part of 20 years so these reviews/tests arn`t always correct.

    I guess those things can be taken either way.
    Of my work colleagues, 1 is a regular cyclist and last year completed the etape du tour in france, his partner is expecting in august.
    Another is a cyclist and runner that has completed one london marathon in 4hrs, he has 2 kids and the youngest is 6 months old.
    Interestingly and unfortunately the only colleague of mine that has had trouble is someone that has enjoyed morrocan woodbines on a regular basis.
    Then again, my brother also has enjoyed them and has 2 healthy kids
    Fitzy I wish you and your wife the best of luck and I hope that your dream will come true. As I found out recently it really is the most beautiful experience to be a parent and one that I thought had passed me by.
