The sex gym: 5 exercises for better sex.

Keeping fit improves your body, mind and sexual satisfaction!

Physical training is not only good for your overall health but also benefits your sex life. There are several simple exercises for better sex that will improve your sexual performance, whatever your gender. If you make these a part of your regular workout, you will find yourself reaching realms of previously unexplored pleasure.

These sex-exercise-moves strengthen the parts of the body that can get tired out during sex, and that need to be strong for you and your partner to get the most satisfaction possible. They also increase sex stamina, so those extra-long sessions won’t be cut short!

Having sex for 15-20 minutes can burn up to 600 calories, so being fit is the first step to lasting longer in bed!

Frequent training helps to strengthen the muscles, balance and flexibility of your body, all of which are essential if you want to experiment with sex positions or if you want to take your pleasure up a notch. But that's not all! When you exercise your body releases substances that enhance your libido and sex-drive, such as the “love hormone” oxytocin, as well as testosterone.

Here are the 5 essential exercises for better sex, more pleasure and increased sex stamina.

The Sex Gym: 5 of the best exercises for sex.

1. Squats: for the thighs and butt

Lots of the best exercises for sex start with the legs and butt. Squats also strengthen the inner thighs and lower body. You can do this sexy exercise in different ways and in any location - not just in the gym! It can be a difficult sex exercise for beginners, but it’s also amazing for your body! After a few repeated sessions, you’ll see results and enjoy your increased sex stamina!

How to do this sexy exercise: from a standing position push your butt backwards and down, keeping your knees in line with your toes. Try to keep your back straight and go as low as you can, then slowly come back up to standing, and repeat. Always remember that breathing is important in every workout. Breathe in when you reach the top and breathe out at the bottom.

2. Glute Bridges: for the butt and pelvic floor

This exercise works on the butt, hips and lower abdominals, and stimulates the pelvic floor muscles. Some of the best exercises for sex work the pelvic floor as it’s important for women especially - stronger pelvic floor muscles mean more intense and long-lasting orgasms.

How to do this sexy exercise: lie on a mat with your back firmly on the floor and your knees bent at 90 degrees, feet outstretched and arms extended next to your hips. Always remember to breathe slowly and deeply. Slowly lift your pelvis by pushing your heels into the floor and squeezing your butt upwards. Hold at the top for a breathe then slowly come back down, and repeat.

3. Hula Hooping: for the butt and hips

This sex exercise uses the butt, hips and lower abdominals. It burns a lot of calories and it’s fun! It also stimulates blood circulation which enhances orgasm.

How to do this sexy exercise: place the hula hoop around you and rest it on your hips. Put one foot forward. Push the hoop with your arms to make the hoop rotate around your hips, and rotate your pelvis to follow and continue the motion.

4. Plank: for the core, shoulders and arms

Ever found yourself in a surprising sex position that involves your body hanging downwards? Or have you had to hold your partner in a position like this? If yes (or if this sounds good to you) your core and arms have to be strong to keep up.

How to do this sexy exercise: lay down on the floor with your face down and your body stretched out along the mat. Lift your body off the ground by bending your elbows, and then bring yourself up to your palms (like the top of a push-up). Your body should be straight and in line with the floor. Always remember to breathe in and out during the exercise, holding the top position as long as you can, then coming down to the floor, and repeating.

5. Kegel exercises: for the pelvic muscles

Kegel exercises train the pelvic floor, improve sexual pleasure and help prevent urinary incontinence in the future.

How to do this sexy exercise: if you’re not sure where these muscles are, they’re the ones that contract when you’re holding in a wee. To strengthen them, lie on your stomach or sit up on the mat with a straight back and tight core (and remember to wee first!). Then contract/tighten the muscle for 10 seconds as you breathe in, and release slowly for another 10 seconds as you breathe out. Actually, this exercise for better sex can be done anywhere, even while you are cooking dinner, or sitting down at work. There are also special kegel balls you can purchase to make this exercise more intense.

There are no more excuses! With motivation and regular training, these exercises for better sex will start to work their magic. Goodbye tiredness, and hello increased sex stamina, acrobatic positions and more pleasure!
