Whether we want to admit or not, exercise and sex are inextricably linked.

But you could also exercise to havebettersex.

to determine the best exercises for sex, we contacted a handful of trusted fitness experts.

These are experts that I’ve been following over the years, because they’re evidence-based and bullshit-free.

To quote the man himself: “Slow motion air humping or awesome core exercise?

The important thing here is the muscles involved.

A rocking plank challenges your core muscles in terms of movement and stability.

For some, stimulating these muscles independently through exercise teaches your body how to activate them more easily.

Over time, this serves as “practice” and can lead to greater ease with achieving orgasm.

Big traps are damn sexy and give your partner something to grab.

Good grip translates to finger strength (wink wink).

Plus, built forearms are hot.

She primarily recommends this exercise for men, but obviously it’s something anyone can do and benefit from.

Rack Pulls

Rack Pulls are great.

Spinal motion is in full force (or should be) during sex.

Exercise injuries are rough.

But an injury that keeps you out of the bedroom for a couple weeks?

Talk about a nightmare.

Standing bent over position (from behind) etc.

requires good hamstring flexibility and glute strength…you get the picture.

Arm-Supported Reverse Crunch

Fitness sextraordinaireJohn Romaniellorecommends the arm-supported reverse crunch for anyone in the bottom position.

If you watch the video, you’ve got the option to kind of see why.

Deep Barbell Back Squats

I’ve spent a good bit of time in the fitness world.

Naturally, I had to reach out to him.

First, it will shape the backside, which will improve self-confidence when naked.

Barbell Hip Thrusts

This one doesn’t need much explanation, if you watch the video.

You’re literally humping a barbell.

But let’s pretend you’re super innocent.

A strong pelvic floor can lead to more intense and longer orgasms [Ed.

Barbell loaded Hip Thrusts are a great exercise to increase glute and pelvic floor strength.

Honestly, this may be the king of all exercises.

First, it will build glute mass, which will automatically increase self-confidence when waltzing around naked.

The first is the Kegel.

Kegels directly train the pelvic floor musclesthe same muscles that contract during climax.

Finding your pelvic floor muscles, however, is decidedly less sexy.

As most advise, take a stab at stop urinating mid-stream when you’re in the bathroom.

That same contraction is what you’re aiming for when you do a Kegel.

Repeat this four or five times.

This can be done by letting him/her talk while you

listen

The best sex comes when you’ve exercised both.
