I just read a report on the Us TOO July Hot Sheet that the results of an Italian study (Maio G, Saraeb S, Marchiori A, J Sex Med,30 March 2010, Epub ahead of print) has found that the results of exercising while taking ED meds has better results than just taking the meds. 

Guess it's time to up the exercise!

Sounds logical, when You exercise, specifically cardio, though strength training and/or circuit training too, you are increasing blood flow throughout your system, widening your blood vessels so this flow continues, though slower, after exercise.

Well,

I was told it would take 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 years to recover from ED due to my nerves only being spared on one side. I work out 4 to 5 times a week doing about an hour of cardio and some weight training. At 10 months I'm way ahead of where they thought I would be. Maybe the exercising is part of the reason.

T40,
I had both nerve bundles removed yet I get an occasional natural erection at night (50%). I also get 80% erection with just stimulation. I attribute this to my working out 4 times a week.

My PA told me yesterday that by all rights viagra shouldn't work for me at all yet. So I think the working out might have A LOT to do with my recovery. In fact, heading out in a minute to hit the gym. $15 a month for a top notch facility. Can't beat that.

I was chainsawing for three hours today getting the "back 40" ready for a July 4th party. Breathing hard, sweating, swinging arms dragging branches. Does that count as exercise? I am totally beat.

Definetly counts, but consistancy is key, it needs to be a part of your life, just like the rest of bodily functions. Getting out the door or whatever is the hard part. Make that the habit and the exercise will follow.
