Must-Read: Conditioning for Better Sex

So you’re there, in the thick of some great sex with a woman you’re super attracted to, when all of a sudden you start to feel something… strange. A cramp, or maybe a muscle pull or something, or maybe just an overall feel of exhaustion, like you just ran a marathon. This is a normal thing, especially when you’re trying to pull off some of that early-relationship marathon sex. Sex is a physical workout no matter how you slice it, so it only makes sense that if you want a good performance in the bedroom, you need to first train outside of it.

So today we’re heading over to Men’s Fitness where they have tips for better conditioning for better sex. Here’s, for instance, two of the routines they recommend in order to give yourself some of the better sex-related muscles:

2. Elevator Lifts:

Taking your body from the standard push-up position, quickly and forcefully lower you body to a plank position in which your elbows now take the place of your hands. Then, in one swift motion, replace your hands where your elbows rested and repeat as fast as possible. This protocol develops core and posterior strength.

3. Rip Cords:

As you lift you body back to the standard push-up position, quickly drive your right knee across the mid-line of your core. Then, as soon as your right foot retracts back to its original position, forcefully drive your left in the same manner across the mid-line of your core. Repeat as many times as possibly for 60 seconds. This will pump your lower extremities into exhaustion and drive your testosterone into high gear.

So get ripping those cords and lifting those elevator, and you’ll be a primo piece of grade A pure angus in bed in no time.
