Happy Friday! Did you know that exercise is one of the best tools you can use to make your sex life better?

Even if you’re not doing these exercises specifically for better sex, they have tons of other benefits when you add them to your normal workouts, like better balance, more stamina, shorter reaction time, flexibility, and more. Along with these, exercise often gives people a stronger sense of body image and self-confidence. This newfound self-love can only help you to feel better in the bedroom!

1. Yoga. It’s no surprise flexibility is going to make you have better sex. Just think of all of the positions you can do!

2. Lower Back Exercises. Exercises that challenge and strengthen your lower back are essential to strong back muscles during sex. Exercises that help you target this area include yoga’s back stretches, hip hinges and any ab exercises that target the lower abdomen, such as lying leg raises. 

3. Kegels. Kegels are not technically working out by most fitness instructor standards, but they’re one of the best techniques for stronger how do I put this… O-MGs! Use the muscles you would use to stop a urine stream, and hold it for 10 seconds (or as long as you can). Repeat this 10 times every day. You’ll notice a difference quickly! You’re doing them now aren’t you?

4. Squats. Strong legs are so important for comfortable sex. There are dozens of positions that require a little bit of leg strength and stamina to hold yourself up, and squats are the perfect addition to your workout routine to help with everything you need. Squats increase your leg, core, and lower back strength.

5. Glute Bridges. These are excellent because they work the butt, outer and inner thighs, your core, your pelvis and your lower back — aka this exercise will work all the areas you need for better sex.

Have a HAPPY weekend!
