Undoubtedly, engaging in sexual activity is a form of exercise. Studies suggest that to maintain good health, approximately 20 minutes of daily exercise is recommended. What better way to meet this quota than through the act of sex? The intensity of your workout depends on the level of activity in bed, with more vigorous encounters yielding greater results than slower, more sensual romps. Embracing acrobatic and athletic positions with clients not only helps you stay fit but also provides a dual benefit of burning calories and delivering mind-blowing orgasms. Here are tried-and-tested sex positions, guaranteed to help you burn those calories:
The Cowgirl
Known for delivering exceptional orgasms, the Cowgirl position allows the partner on top to assert control. Whether on top or underneath, core muscles, legs, and butt muscles are engaged, providing a substantial workout session while maintaining sexual intimacy.
The Reverse Cowgirl
Similar to the Cowgirl position, the partner on top benefits by having control, distributing body weight to the legs. This position stretches and strengthens abdominal muscles, inner thighs, and butt muscles, offering a form of cardio workout. The partner on top can burn up to 137 calories in fat in 30 minutes, while the partner below burns approximately 48 calories in the same duration.
The Doggy Style
Engaging triceps, quadriceps, glutes, shoulders, and upper back muscles, the bottom partner supports themselves on all fours in this position. Wall support can elevate the calorie burn from 98 to around 118. The penetrating partner can lose about 150 calories, with the potential for more if the tempo is increased, creating a more intense experience.
The Butter Churner
This challenging position involves the bottom partner lying on their back or belly, folded in half with their buttocks raised, facing the ceiling. The top partner stands and squats over, providing deep penetration. Every muscle is engaged, offering a high-calorie burn. The top partner benefits from cardio workouts during thrusting, while the bottom partner’s core muscles are stretched and strengthened.
