Keeping Fit with Sexercise - Sexynews #36

No Personal Trainer Required: It’s hard to imagine a more enjoyable way to burn calories than having sex. Most people would happily trade in that run on the treadmill for a romp between the sheets. Being restricted to activities in lockdown is no excuse for not keeping up the cardio! Every movement you make is burning calories, and the more vigorous you move, the higher your heart rate goes and the more calories you burn! So while it’s sometimes nice to allow your partner to take most of the physical load (pun intended), in this instance, you’re going to want to get on top to work those muscles and burn off those extra lockdown calories. The best part, you won’t need a personal trainer to prompt you to keep on going!

Make Sex A Competition:  

As if sex isn’t fun already, add a competitive edge to it and see who can burn the most calories. If you don’t have one already, get yourselves a fitness tracking device such as a Fitbit and track how high your heart rate goes and how many calories you can burn during each session. If he needs a little extra boost to help him keep his heart… and other parts pumping, he could always apply a Male Sexual Enhancer such as the Jo Men Prolonger Desensitising Spray. Be sure to avoid the COVID baby boom by adding in a pack of Four Seasons Naked Delay Condoms. They’ll also help him last a little longer for a longer workout!

Best Sex Positions for the Best Burn:  Making sex a workout is actually quite fun and can be the most exciting way to burn those extra lockdown calories. Below are a few positions and techniques you can use to get the most benefit from your sexercise.

• Cowgirl: At the top of the list for burning the most calories is the cowgirl position, for her anyway!  In a 30-minute session, an average woman will burn a lot of calories on top with moderate effort. She can also squat over her partner instead of kneeling, making it a far more intense workout, and far more fun! In this position she is engaging her core and butt muscles for an intense workout. 
  
  
• Standing: Standing is one of the more challenging positions because the receiving partner often has to allow the other partner to lift them in some way so upper strength is required. While facing each other in this workout sex position, core, and upper-leg strength comes into play. If the receiving partner is standing on one leg, those leg muscles are worked to keep them upright, and core muscles are engaged to keep balanced. If the receiving partner is wrapping both legs around their partner, they’ll need good arm strength to hold onto them. Regardless which one of these contortions you’re in, the standing partner will have to have strength and stamina. If you are facing the same direction, the same muscles engaged in doggy-style are used: the standing partner will work their core for balance, and their arms can be worked if they're bracing against a wall or headboard and using them to help thrust. Add a bit of diversity to this position by the use of the Whipsmart-Pleasure Swing, which offers full body support so you can change up the angles and positions ensuring that you can workout more areas of your body while making sex and working out even more fun than it already is. 
  
  
• Doggy-Style: Penetrative sex from behind engages the receiving partner’s core because they have to stabilise themselves on all fours. This means the receiver will be working the quadriceps and glutes to help keep steady. You can also do a modified position and get a great arm workout too. Instead of the receiving partner having their hands flat on the bed/floor, they put their hands on the wall in front of them and use their upper body to help thrust. This would become a great shoulder and upper body workout. 
  
  
• Bridge: For this position, the receiving partner is facing upwards and uses their arms and legs to hold their body weight off the bed/floor. This position requires the receiving partner to have a lot of upper arm strength and engages the biceps, triceps, abs, glutes, quads and calves. Your butt is bound to feel this burn! (Maybe in more than one way ;) )  To ensure you both get an even workout, get a Strap On For Her, such as the Malesation Strap-On Harness, which is flexible and lightweight and ideal for a great workout! 
  
  
• Lunges: You might think of lunges as torture when your personal trainer tells you just 5 more, but you won’t mind them so much when they’re being done as a part of a sexercise routine! I promise! This position requires the receiving partner to be sitting on top of their partner with one leg in front and the other leg extended behind, in between the partner's legs. This engages the quad, front of the leg, hamstring, core and butt muscles. As if we need anymore encouragement to try out this position and since his hands will be free, you could incorporate a Finger Vibrator as a reward for all that hard work!

Kick it Up A Notch:  

With sexercise, as with any workout, it’s important to try new and different things and lockdown is the perfect opportunity to get creative and keep active while you’re at it. Adding a little Fetish to your bedroom routine will not only help keep things interesting, but ensure that you are giving all of your muscles a great workout. The Strict Bondage Board will give you both a workout that would make your personal trainer blush. It comes with 14 different D-ring attachment points making it easy to achieve a multitude of sexual positions and gain full access to your partner's body and no amount of whining and eye rolling will make your partner give your tiring muscles a rest. If you complain about your workout, you might get punished with our Sex And Mischief Fishnet Paddle. If only your personal trainer had that kind of control over you! 

The 'Warm-Up' & 'Cool-off':  

Keeping your muscles loose and relaxed is very important when engaging in any kind of physical activity, even when it’s sexual. Preparing for a workout is equally as important as cooling down after. An often forgotten area to massage after a strenuous ‘workout’ are your glutes. Smoothly rolling over your backside, using a Roller Ball Massager, with your partner while keeping your abdominal muscles tight can help alleviate any tension that’s building up in your glutes. This can also help keep them fresh for your next ‘workout’. 😜  Using a Body Wand is also ideal to help relax muscles and can be put to good use in ‘other areas’ too.

Muscles You Should Focus On:  

You should also focus on your hamstring muscles during a cool-down massage since most of the positions mentioned involve engaging these muscles. This includes the muscles that line up the back of your thigh. Providing them with a much needed rub-down will help you avoid strains or tightness in the future. Massaging your quads is equally important so don’t forget them. Gently massaging the kneecap is also helpful since a few of these positions involve putting your weight on that area. Make sure you spend a few minutes rubbing the muscles in your thighs too. There’s nothing more off putting than a cramp in a vital location. This will surely put a damper on things! Using a good quality Massage Oil is essential for the warm-up and cool-down massages, the Durex Play Massage Gel 2-in-1 Sensual is perfect because it can be used before, during and after the ‘workout’ too.

Switch it Up:  

With sexercise, as with any workout, it’s important to try new and different things. By trying more challenging and adventurous positions, you use different muscle groups for stabilisation, constantly surprising your body and getting a better workout. Make sure you engage your core at all times while having sex. By focusing on your core and isolating the muscles around your pelvic floor will not only strengthen your abs, it’ll make your tummy look flatter in the moment!
