Having an incredible and satisfying sex life is not a matter of luck, it is a matter of making healthy choices for your body! If you are seeking a way to boost your sex life, exercise is one of the best things that you can do. Exercise improves your endurance, technique, self-esteem, and allows you to remain more flexible. Each of these qualities factors into the pleasure you can get out of sexual play. Here are some exercises that both men and women can do to help improve the overall quality of their sex lives.

Men Should Start Lifting Weights

Men, when you want to have a powerful sex drive, high levels of testosterone are a must. One of the best ways to boost your natural testosterone production is to lift weights. You should be lifting enough weight to be tired around the 9th or 10th rep, but not so much that you hurt yourself or have to strain during each lift. Lift weights 3-4 days each week, so your body can rest in between.

Men Can Give Yoga a Try

Yoga is known to boost a person’s energy, stamina, and awareness of the body, and for men, that can mean bigger erections and better sexual endurance. If you give Yoga a try, consider trying the positions that most work the muscles of the pelvis, including positions like the Shoulder Stand, the Bow Pose, and the Peacock Pose. These will help you have stronger muscles at the base of the penis, allowing you to have an erection that is sturdier and able to be sustained longer. Women can also benefit from trying Yoga, in that it increases their endurance, too. This can allow them to engage in sex for longer periods of time and have more pleasurable sexual play.

Get Your Heart Rate Up, Men

Cardio exercises for men allow for better blood flow, which decreases the chances that you will suffer from erectile dysfunction. You can do any type of exercise you want to get your heart rate up, but some of the best include swimming when you want something low-impact, speed-walking and jogging if you want something middle-impact, and things like kick-boxing and hard running if you want something high-impact. You can also use sex as your exercise of choice some of the time as it gets your heart rate up and works out all of the muscles that you are trying to tone and improve.

Kegel Exercises Are a Great Start for Women

Kegel exercises are a great way to intensify orgasms for women. The more Kegel exercises that you do, the stronger your pelvic floor muscles become, and the stronger your orgasms can be. Tensing up your pelvic floor muscles is the same motion that you do when you stop urinating midstream, so try that a few times until you get the feel for what you do, then do a set of those exercises once or twice each day. You want those muscles to tense up, hold that contraction for ten seconds, and then release. You should do these in as many reps as you can until your muscles get tired out. If you want to increase the benefit further, using Kegel weights can also boost the tone and strength of the muscles in your vaginal wall.

Kegels are also great exercises for men if they want longer, harder erections and more control over when they ejaculate; just as an FYI.

Think Ballet and Try a Plie

If you ever took ballet as a child, channel that energy and start doing a few plies each day to strengthen the inner thighs and up through the pelvic and vaginal muscles. These dips allow your legs to get stronger, and the walls of the vagina to get more toned. This boosts your chances of having a very intense orgasm each time you climax. You want your legs shoulder width apart, toes pointed towards 10:00 and 2:00. You then want to dip down until your thighs and the floor are parallel. Slowly raise up by pushing up through your heels, and repeat. Doing 12-15 of these at a time can really tone and tighten the vaginal walls, and intensify each orgasm you have moving forward.

Women Can Bounce On a Mini-Trampoline

Jumping on a trampoline can boost your sex life in multiple ways. First, it allows your body from your core down through your hips, thighs, and calves to get stronger. This can help you have more endurance during sex, and it can also improve your orgasms by having the stronger muscles needed to feel the intensity rumble through your body. Second, jumping on a trampoline for 10-20 minutes, twice per day, also helps to improve the overall function of your body’s lymphatic system. This means your body is more able to remove toxic buildup, leaving you feeling healthier and more energetic.

Both men and women can get a lot of benefits by adding exercise to their daily routine. Something as simple as doing Kegel exercises while driving to and from work, or practicing Yoga can improve not only your sex life, but your body in general. Each of these exercises has the potential to help you feel healthier plus make your sex life something to brag about. Take a few weeks and try doing some of these exercises each day. You will see and feel the benefits for yourself.
