Exercising is good for the body and mind, we are all aware of that. But did you know exercise has great potential to improve your sex life? Exercise your way to better sex – you’ll be shocked at how much your sex life improves with these simple exercises or sexercises.
Sexercises for men
Hip lunges: Every man must learn how to thrust, and thrust well. Hip lunges work the hips and give you the perfect power force you need to please your woman.
Steps:
- Place one foot forward, so that your feet are about a metre apart and your knees are slightly bent.
- Push your pelvis forward.
- Hold this position for 30 seconds making sure you feel a stretch.
Kegels: Did you think kegels worked only for women? Well, a simple 10 seconds of kegel exercise can give your sex life a massive boost. Kegels can make you last longer, be harder and give you more control over your ejaculations.
Steps:
- Imagine you are urinating and then try to stop the flow.
- Repeat this squeeze, hold, release cycle 10 times, trying to hold for 10 seconds per squeeze.
Interval running: If the flesh around your pubic bone is padded with too much fat it will make your penis look smaller and make it more difficult to penetrate your woman deeply. This exercise can help you tone the area for better penetration and pleasure.
Steps:
- Find a hill and sprint up it, then walk back down for recovery.
- Beginners aim for 10 x 45 seconds uphill running whilst advanced runners should aim for 15 to 20 x 60 seconds uphill running.
