Better Sex: These Type of Workouts Boost Your Sexual Performance
When having an active sex life, it's important to please our partner. However, a weak core could lead to fatigue before either partner is satisfied, while poor cardio could leave you stopping to catch your breath (you don’t want this). Simply said, being a better shape will make sex easier and more enjoyable for everyone involved.
Scientific evidence shows that sexual performance improves when exercising on a regular basis, but let's get into what types of exercises are better than others for sexual health and performance
1. (Cardio)vascular Exercises
Five studies involving about 400 people showed that cardio training was effective at treating sexual dysfuntion.
I reccomed to start slowly with a regular walking routine, working up to a medium pace or a jog. You can also use an stairmaster at the gym, or go for a hike or swim. Anything that gets and keeps your heart rate up for an extended period of time works. Pick an activity that you enjoy so you will stick with it regularly.
2. Core (midsection) Training
Core defiones as your midesection, which means your stomach area and lower back.
Training these core muscles can be done in so many ways. , including abdominal crunches, pushups, and planks. To make sure you’re hitting all of the muscles of your core, include side planks, which will tone and strengthen the oblique muscles along your sides, making it easier to switch sexual positions and stay balanced.
3. Pelvic Floor Exercises

The Mayo Clinic suggests tightening these muscles for 3 seconds before relaxing them for 3 seconds, and doing at least 3 sets of 10 repetitions each day.

Mountain climbers activate many of the muscle groups you use during sex, including your core, shoulders, and arms, and require balance and coordination, too. Get in pushup position and bring one leg forward so your knee comes under your chest. Keep your back straight the entire time, and switch legs. Move back and forth between legs like you are running.
Side lunges are another good way to improve balance and coordination. Lunge to the left, keeping your left knee directly over your foot. Push off and raise yourself to standing, lifting the left leg off the ground and balancing on the right leg momentarily before going back into a lunge position. Make sure to do both sides.
