Exercises for a Better Sex Life

Research has consistently shown a direct correlation between regular exercise and increased sexual potency– for men and women. Regular cardiovascular exercise and deep stretching that increases blood flow to the pelvic area is likely to rekindle both sexual arousal and even orgasmic function.  Just one or two weeks in the gym and you may begin to find yourself as frisky as ever.  Here’s what to do while you’re there…

Endurance:

Good endurance is critical for making sessions of love last with greater vigor.  Try to get in for a cardio workout three to five days a week for at least 20 to 30 minutes at a time.  Remember, vigorous sports and exercise get your heart rate and temperature up and will give you that extra boost of energy and endorphins.  Plus, aerobic exercise also flushes away stress and reduces anxiety, burns fat and rejuvenates the body, priming you for sex.

Strength Training:

Holding yourself in certain positions in bed requires muscle power.  Naturally, lifting weights will ensure the right muscles work well when you need them to. Work on toning the upper and lower body, and you’ll prevent pain and cramping at inconvenient moments too.

Flexibility:

Needing for getting in those cool positions, flexibility makes you more limber, and also increases blood flow and circulation, which stimulates nerve endings all over.

Kegel exercises:

Used by women for years to get back in shape after birth, Kegels are not just for women anymore.  Men can use this exercise too, to delay ejaculation by contracting the pubococcygeal (PC) muscles just before orgasm, then fully relaxing them.

How to do Kegels:

Contract PC muscles by squeezing, as if stopping urine, and hold for at least 2-3 seconds per squeeze, inhaling as you squeeze each time and relax your muscles completely between each contraction. To begin with, start with just 10 or 20 squeezes; Kegels can be practiced nearly anytime and in any place.  Perform them throughout the day until you can do at least 100 to 200 each day and after you get the hang of them, they can stimulate erotic feelings.
