Sure, sex counts as cardio—there's no denying the calorie-burning and muscle-building benefits of those passionate moments. But let's be real, even the most enthusiastic lovers can find themselves catching their breath or battling leg cramps mid-action. So, unless you're clocking in thrice-daily sessions (major kudos if you are), chances are, standard intercourse alone won't sculpt those muscles needed for mind-blowing acrobatics.
Enter sexercise: the art of blending fitness and pleasure to elevate your bedroom game. From strengthening pelvic muscles to enhancing flexibility, here are some top sexcercises to incorporate into your workout routine and take your thrusts to the next level.
