Four
Moves for Bedroom Bliss...
A huge area of research shows that exercise makes that other
popular recreational use of the body... sex... a lot more
fun! Increased blood flow, strengthened muscles and looking
better all lead to heightened sexual arousal.
Now experts are taking the sex/exercise connection even
further, with routines to target the specific muscles to
improve the experience.
So Ladies... here are a few good exercises to help you get
your groove on in the bedroom... Do two sets of each move
twice a week then watch your sex life perk up fast!
Quick-flick kegel While seated, squeeze
only the pelvic-floor muscles. To isolate these, pretend
you're holding back gas or urine. (Some women feel it more in
their vagina, others in their anus, but it will feel like
muscles lifting.) Contract and release quickly in a pulsing
motion. Do 5 to 10 pulses.
Kegel hold While sitting, squeeze
pelvic-floor muscles and hold for 5 to 10 seconds, then
release. Do 5 to 10 reps.
Inner-thigh squeeze Sit on a chair (at a
table or desk to be discreet) and place a purse or a rolled-up
jacket between your knees. (If you don't have one, you can do
without.) Squeeze knees together as you pulse your
pelvic-floor muscles. Repeat three to five times.
Advanced standing lift Do the quick-flick
Kegel and Kegel hold moves again, this time while standing
upright. Gravity makes it more challenging, Goodman notes. As
before, do 5 to 10 repetitions of each exercise.
