Cardio can improve endurance
You’ve probably heard about the benefits of maintaining a regular regimen of cardiovascular exercise, which can get your heart pumping and your blood flowing. As it turns out, one of these advantages is a better sex life. The outlet shares that because of the increased blood flow in your body -- including genitals -- both men and women will have improved sexual response. Bonus points if you do it with your partner-- both the exercise and the fun stuff afterwards.
Planks will make your whole body stronger
Ok, so planks aren’t fun. But they can improve your performance when you’re on top. The reason? Holding a plank can not only strengthen your arms -- which support your whole body when you’re taking the lead from above -- but also your core muscles, which not only help with thrusting, but also protect you from injury. So yeah, it’s worth the agonizingly long plank minutes!
Do kegels to strengthen your pelvic floor

But when it comes to kegels, you can do these just about anywhere and no one around you will be the wiser. Bonus? Doing kegels can improve blood flow in your pelvic region, tighten up vaginal muscles, and improve your self-esteem. So next time you’re stuck on the subway or at the office, you can occupy your time and improve your pelvic floor all at once.
