Instructor Paa Kwasi Siaw Ankomah, Founday Peekay Fitness Group
When it comes to achieving sexual satisfaction, most married women have no idea that physical exercise play a huge role in getting that wonderful experience in their bedrooms.
Yet, Paa Kwasi Siaw Ankomah, a fitness instructor and founder of the Peekay Fitness Group in Koforidua, sheds light on an often-overlooked aspect of marital life – how physical fitness directly impacts sexual satisfaction for married women.
Speaking to The Spectator in an exclusive interview, Mr Ankomah shared his concerns about the growing number of women who neglect exercise, leading to diminished libido and difficulty achieving orgasm.
According to him, these issues were contributing factors to infidelity and divorce, problems that were increasingly prevalent in the country.
M. Ankomah explained that many women experienced a shift in priorities once they get married, especially after having children, adding that the demands of both home and work life often led them to de-prioritise their sexual health and intimacy with their husbands.
This neglect, he warned, has far-reaching consequences, including a decrease in sexual desire and satisfaction, which can strain marital relationships.
The instructor emphasised that a sedentary lifestyle, which was common among many married women, significantly impacts their sexual health.
He pointed out that many women are enduring unhappy marriages, staying only for the sake of their children, rather than thriving in relationships marked by mutual satisfaction and joy.
He explained that the lack of regular exercise could lead to a decrease in testosterone levels, a hormone essential for sexual desire, weakening of the pelvic floor muscles, and reduced blood flow, all of which make it more challenging to achieve orgasm.
Additionally, the stress that often accompanied a lack of physical activity can further diminish sexual health.
Mr Ankomah suggested that these unspoken truths needed to be addressed to improve the quality of many marriages.
One of the key ways to do this, he argued, was by encouraging married women to incorporate routine exercises into their lives, and noted that exercise can have a transformative impact on sexual drive, boosting interest in sexual activities and enhancing overall well-being.
“Regular physical activity improves circulation, which is crucial for boosting blood flow to the genitals and enhancing sexual arousal. It also releases endorphins, which elevate mood and reduce stress, both essential for a healthy sex drive. Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles through exercise can also play a critical role in improving orgasmic function.”
Mr Ankomah further proposed that efforts to empower women should extend beyond political and economic spheres to include their sexual health.
He suggested the creation of empowerment fitness clubs, where women could come together to focus on their physical and sexual health, ensuring that they remained active and satisfied in their marriages.
Mr Ankomah noted that by prioritising their physical health, married women can enhance their sexual satisfaction, leading to happier, more fulfilling marriages.

The 29th Annual Dagaaba-Frafra Friendly Games have once again demonstrated that sports can be a powerful vehicle for cultural preservation, business networking, friendship and peaceful coexistence.
Held at the El-Wak Sports Stadium in Accra last Saturday, the games brought together members of the two ethnic groups from across Ghana and abroad for a colourful celebration under the theme, “Unity in Diversity: The Dagaaba-Frafra Model for Peaceful Co-existence.”
The event, which has evolved from a friendly football match into a major annual gathering, featured football, volleyball, sack races, lime and spoon, tug-of-peace and a penalty shootout for senior citizens.
At the end of the competitions, the Frafra won four events, while the Dagaaba secured victories in five, with the men’s soccer match ending in a draw.
The Frafra triumphed in the men’s lime and spoon, men’s sack race, women’s sack race and women’s soccer, while the Dagaaba won the women’s lime and spoon, men’s volleyball, women’s volleyball, women’s tug-of-peace and the senior citizens’ penalty shootout.
However, the games extended far beyond the sporting arena. The stadium grounds and surrounding spaces became a vibrant marketplace, with patrons enjoying and purchasing a variety of traditional foods, drinks and cultural products.
Local delicacies, including TZ, tubaani, bambara beans, pork, guinea fowl, local fowls, dog meat and kosie, were sold alongside traditional alcoholic beverages. Traditional dresses and other culturally inspired items also attracted buyers, turning the gathering into an important platform for small businesses and vendors to make sales while promoting northern Ghanaian culture.
The cultural exchange continued long after the final sporting contests, as patrons remained at the venue to eat, drink, socialise, dance and party well into the night.
In her remarks, the Guest of Honour, Dr Matilda Aberese-Ako, said the gathering represented much more than competition, describing the Dagaaba-Frafra relationship as a historic bond that had evolved into a modern sporting tradition and an instrument for peace.
MTN Ghana has been the headline sponsor for the games for the past 10 years.

MTN Ghana has undertaken a tree-planting exercise at the Chipa Forest Reserve as part of its commitment to protecting the planet and support the restoration of degraded sections of the forest.
The activity forms part of the company’s 2026 Sustainability Month celebration held under the theme “Small Actions: Big Impact,” and its 30th anniversary celebration.
It was held in partnership with the Forestry Commission (FC) and the Rainforest Alliance with MTN Ghana supporting the restoration of approximately two hectares of degraded forest through the planting of 1,666 trees.
Due to the current dry weather conditions, 833 trees were planted during the exercise, with the remaining 833 to be planted when the rain commences.
The exercise brought together MTN employee volunteers, officials from the Forestry Commission and representatives of the Rainforest Alliance, demonstrating the importance of collaboration in driving environmental sustainability.
Speaking at the event, the Acting General Manager for Sustainability and Shared Value at MTN Ghana, Georgina Asare Fiagbenu, emphasized the critical role trees play in sustaining life and protecting the environment.
“Trees are essential to human survival and healthy ecosystems. They absorb carbon dioxide, release oxygen, regulate temperatures, protect soil, support biodiversity and provide habitats for many species. They also conserve water, reduce erosion and help communities adapt to the effects of climate change,” she said.
The District Manager of the Tema-Ada Forest Services Division of the Forestry Commission, Linda Ansah, welcomed MTN Ghana’s support, describing it as a valuable contribution to efforts aimed at restoring degraded sections of the reserve.
The Country Director of the Rainforest Alliance, Nicholas Jengri, also welcomed the partnership and emphasised the importance of collective action in addressing environmental challenges.
