Sexercises
- Dive bomber push-ups
This will strengthen your upper body for bracing positions and increase spine mobility and shoulder stability. - Gobblet squat
This exercise will improve the ability to become aroused by increasing circulation below the waist and increase hip mobility, strength and stamina. - Glute bridge with hip abduction
It will strengthen your glutes, hamstrings and low back because the pelvis is inverted so this position awakens the pelvic-floor muscles. This can lead to stronger, more controlled orgasms. - V-Sit rocker
This will improve your core endurance and lower body flexibility. Having a stronger core allows for greater strength muscular endurance through a variety of positions. - Resisted hip thrust/extension
By having a band anchored at one end (or held by partner), face away from the anchor with the other end of band around your hips, in a kneeling position. Sit with your butt to your heels and go back to the kneeling position while forcefully squeezing your glutes for 3 seconds. And repeat 15x.
