Not only is sex amazing, but it’s also a great way to really connect with your partner on deeper levels of intimacy. But it goes beyond that. Turns out that sex is an incredibly good workout as well. If you’d like to enjoy your sex life all the more, keep things interesting, and burn a truckload of calories while you are at it, these are the best sex positions for a seriously good workout.
Who said exercise had to be boring? Check out these sex positions for a decent workout
Reverse cowgirl wall-sit
This is a great position for both the man and the woman, only the woman gets to take charge and control the action. Have your partner sit with their back against the wall in the wall-sit position, then face away from them before squatting back into their lap. This workout is great for your glutes, quads, and hamstrings. It will take some practice and it isn’t the sort of position that you can keep up for long if you are out of shape – but it’s worth a try!
The missionary blank
The missionary position is often referred to as being the most boring sex position of them all but you can mix it up quite nicely with this variation. The woman lies down on her back in the traditional missionary position, while the man climbs on top and leans over her in the plank position. Planks provide an awesome full-body workout that targets the abs, back, hips, legs, shoulders, and the chest!
Crouching cow-girl (hidden dragon)
If you want to work on your thighs, then this will have them burning in no time. Lay your partner on their back and then straddle them. Instead of staying on your knees, put both feet flat on the bed / floor putting you in a low squat position and control the action from there. As you lift yourself up and down you’ll really start to feel the pressure on your quads.
The standing 69
This position is an awful lot of hard work but for the more athletic couples among you it can be a great challenge – and incredibly sexy too. One partner stands while the other person is turned completely upside down with their legs on the other person’s shoulders.
Lotus
Lotus is one the most intimate positions, particularly if you enjoy intense eye contact while you make love. With your partner in the criss-cross sitting position, wrap your legs around them and lower yourself onto them. Both of you can slowly grind on one another and you’ll start feeling the burn in no time.
Introduce sex toys into the mix
Shop sex toys online and start building up a collection to share with one another in the bedroom. Having plenty of sex toys will certainly keep things interesting and you may be excited to sleep with one another more often. The more sex you have the more calories you’ll burn, not to mention all of the other amazing health benefits that come with having frequent sex.
Exercise regularly (with sex!)
Don’t let sex be your only means of exercise. Certainly, it’s great fun! But if you want plenty of strength and stamina to succeed in the positions listed above then you’ll need to be in reasonable shape. The more you exercise the better off you’ll be in the long run.
