Now THAT's what we call motivation.
Working out is a great way to lose weight and tone your body, but what if it could also better your sex life?!
Strength training, cardiovascular endurance and flexibility are three areas that will help you get a sexy, lean physique while also driving up the heat up in the bedroom.
Even if your workouts are solely centered on improving your health, the side effects will stream into all areas of your life. Feeling good about your body trickles into improved confidence, which will lead to an increased sex drive and sexual arousal.
Have I caught your attention yet?
The following moves are a must-try — at home or in the gym — to boost your ability to achieve the Big O!
1. Squats
Your sex life will be amped up when you have the strength and endurance to last a little longer, especially when you’re on top! Increasing the blood flow in your lower body helps with improved arousal and your ability to orgasm.
How to do it: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and chest proud. Bend your knees while pushing your butt out as if you are sitting in a chair. Keep your weight in your heels through the movements and make sure your knees don’t bend past your toes. Try to hit 12-15 reps for four sets.
2. Hip Thrusts
This move will primarily work on your butt, so think about squeezing it through the movement. Not only will your jeans look amazing, but you may want to start doing it with the lights on so your hard work can be appreciated!
How to do it: Lie on your back with your knees bent and arms by your side. Push your hips up toward the ceiling while keep your feet, head and shoulders resting on the ground. Squeeze the glutes as you push up and then return to the starting position. Repeat 12-15 times for four sets.
3. Alternating Side and Front Lunges
When lunging, you want to focus on getting a deep stretch in your hip flexor and inner thighs. Your increase in flexibility will not only drive your man crazy, but increase your satisfaction while doing the deed!
How to do it: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and chest proud. Step forward with your right leg and bend both knees at a 90 degree angle, making sure your knees don’t go past your toes. Return back to the starting position, and then step your right foot laterally. Bend your right knee only at a 90 degree angle, keeping your toes pointed forward. Step back to the starting position and repeat on left side. Try to hit 10-12 reps on each side for four sets.
4. Plank
Have a strong, tight core will also help you avoid back injuries which can come from getting tangled in the sheets. The stronger and more stable your body, the more experimental you can be with different positions.
How to do it: Get into a pushup position on the floor, either on your hands or your forearms, keeping your wrists or elbows are directly under your shoulders. Keep your body in a straight line from shoulders to ankles and squeeze your core so your lower back does not sink. Hold the position for as long as you can.
5. Burpee
We need to make sure our endurance is on par with our strength and flexibility so we can keep getting it on all night! Burpees will give you a total body workout and get your heart racing and blood flowing….exactly what you want to achieve during your hot romp!
How to do it: Begin standing with legs shoulder-width apart. Place your hands on the floor and jump your legs out into a plank position. Add a push-up if you are advanced. Jump back to your starting position with your hands in the air and jump up to touch the ceiling. Try 10 reps for four sets.
