Want to be better in the sack? The answer to your carnal success can be found in the gym. Here’s how to become a great sex machine through your workout.

You’ve worked hard and have the physique to attract the opposite sex.

Now you need to make sure that you didn’t just build mirror muscles and you can perform outside of your gym workouts where it really counts.

You’ll need to enhance your super strength and endurance in very specific ways to perform at your peak and have great sex.

There’s always room for improvement. Whether you’re just starting to tap into your lovemaking life or you’re well-versed in the arts of Kamasutra we have just the right workouts for better sex.

Every muscle serves a very specific purpose within the body, but in life one isolated muscle is rarely worked.

If you want to train functionally to not only improve your body but your sexual prowess, you have to focus on body positioning and movements.

The exercises are important, but so is training in specific body positions for great sex.

Typically, we mount ourselves onto a piece of equipment, sit or stand. Hopefully your great sex life is more flavorful than a plain old rice cake and you’re in more than just those traditional positions.

If you work out, you might as well use those muscles.

We can train in supine, prone, staggered stances, half kneeling and it goes on as far as your imagination will allow. There are quite a few positions the body can be trained in, far beyond the ones listed.

Hopefully the action in the bedroom is lasting longer than your typical set in the gym.

To simulate longer periods of physical activity with varying emphases, the workouts are done in a circuit fashion but taking some rest between rounds and exercises.

After all, your partner is supposed to be there to tap in when you need them.

If this sounds a little intimidating, don’t worry. Each method to improving your sex life will have two varying levels of challenge – the “Cadet Training” and the “Kamasutra Course.”

The exercises are also described so you can get right in on the action.

You Want Great Sex? Mount Up!

Lifting a partner up on countertops or going inverted from a standing position will require strength and a fortified posterior chain.

It will also require huge amounts of simultaneous stability and mobility, including shoulder mobility for lifting. The best way to simulate holding a partner is to carry some weights. This will engage the entire back, glutes, hamstrings and abdominal wall. There’s some awesome back workouts for men especially.

Both of these circuits will engage these muscles and test your ability to hold and lift any partner.

Cadet Training: Farmers Walk Circuit

3×40 meters

Use both hands to hold one moderately heavy dumbbell (same weight as the single arm farmers walk) at chest height just like a ke a goblet squat, walk 20 meters, then turn around and return 20 meters. This also helps when trying to get big arms

#3 Farmers Walk

Key To Great Sex: Perfect The Power Thrust

The power comes through the hips. That’s true for sports and for sex. Training hip extension or pelvic thrusts is a must.

It doesn’t matter where you are or what your position is, not much explaining is needed here.

It’s a primal movement and for good reason.

The main source of power in this motion comes from the glutes and hamstring muscles, so expect these to get lit up while your heart pounds.

Working Hard Or Hardly Working?

Being on the bottom is like riding a roller coaster. You strap in and have a really awesome time without having to do much work.

Except, the best roller coasters will have you gripping the handles and pressing yourself back into your seat, making the ride feel even more intense.

So if you want the best ride possible, you’re still going to have to put in work on the bottom.

A stable base that’s engaged goes a long way in adding depth and sensation, not to mention the extra depth that can be achieved by flexing the glute muscles to lift the pelvis up.

Enjoy the ride but make sure you’re not a copilot that’s slacking.

Go The Distance For Great Sex…

The heart plays multiple roles in this love affair workout. It won’t matter how much stronger you get if your heart is unable to sufficiently pump blood and oxygen to your muscles.

This is not the ideal time for it to become evident you’re running out of energy and are reaching for the oxygen mask.

So what type of endurance training is best besides the act itself?

Full body circuit training will challenge your heart rate to make sure no muscle gives out. Traditional fasted cardio such as rowing, running, versa climber and sled pushes are all excellent options.

Tied Up Like A Pretzel

It doesn’t matter whether you’re on the top, bottom, side, kitchen counter or 50-yard line of your football field at midnight.

You need to able to get into any position. Greater mobility during sex will simply make everything easier, decrease the likelihood of an unwanted cramp and create a nimbleness sure to impress anyone you encounter.

The most important body parts to increase flexibility are the upper back, lats, hip flexors, glutes and hamstrings.

Lose flexibility in any of these areas and you’re going to look stiffer than getting out of an eight-hour car ride in the back seat.

And, stiffness is not a positive attribute in this scenario. Be sure to stretch and stay limber so libido stays up.

BUILD Protein

Conclusion

These circuits are tried and true, but remember that just like your sex life you’ve got to switch things up every now and then.
