Being fit and in shape is extremely good for your health, but that is not the only thing that it bolsters. Exercising can help you perform better in bed too. Not only does it help increase blood flow to your genitals (making sure you are not let down when the opportunity presents itself), but it also helps beat stress and helps you feel less exhausted during the act. That being said, if you do not have the time to hit the gym everyday, here are some exercises you can try to help you last longer in bed.
1. Push-ups
A very common exercise, a push-up works out most of the muscles in your upper body. Not only will this help you get those toned arms, chest and back but it will also give you that much needed strength while having sex, especially in the missionary or the standing sex position. What's more, it will also give you the strength to sweep your lady love off her feet for a hot and steamy quickie. You can learn how to do a push-up the right way.
2. Abdominal crunches
Abdominal crunches target the muscles of your abs, and is especially useful in getting rid of belly fat. This exercise will help you develop good core strength, and will help you thrust better making sex that much more enjoyable.
3. Leg lunges
Strong legs are the hallmark of any great lover and doing exercises to strengthen them is extremely important if you want to last long in bed. Exercises like leg lunges will allow you to thrust well while having intercourse. Strong legs combined with a ripped upper body and arms will leave you with a body your partner just can't get enough of.
4. Skipping
Skipping helps increase agility, increase blood circulation to your genitals and release endorphins that make you happy. Make skipping a part of your daily regime and notice how it makes your partner jump with excitement!
5. Kegel exercises
Kegel exercises will definitely help you get stronger erections that last longer as they directly work the muscles that are involved during sex and ejaculation. They are quite simple to execute once you learn the proper way to do it.
6. The plank
The plank is an exercise that can not only help strengthen your core muscles, but it also helps you develop resistance that can prove to be useful in making you a better lover. All you have to do is to get down on all-fours, similar to the starting position while doing a push-up. After this, instead of your palms use your forearms to support your weight. Keeping your back straight, hold this position for as long as possible.
7. Yoga asanas
Performing yoga asanas like vajrasana, bhujangasana and sarvangasa come with several benefits that are great for your sex life they will strengthen your muscles, improve your posture and flexibility and also help you beat stress and achieve mental peace.
