Does “Fit Sex” Mean I Have To Carry My Partner?
The answer is no. Sex for fitness is not only for super athletic/strong people. And you’re about to discover numerous workout sex positions suitable for your weight, abilities, strength, and flexibility level.
So whether you’re starting your fitness journey or are an advanced sexual workout pro, you can find both orgasms and full-body sex workouts during your next intercourse encounter.
Best sex positions for upper body strength
1. The Wheelbarrow
Picture your partner as the name of the position, and you’ll practically have half of the work gained because, as its name explains, you’ll have to imitate a farmer holding a wheelbarrow. But you’ll carry your partner’s legs instead of holding the handles. Who said you couldn’t grow core muscles and strengthen your upper bodies while having tons of pleasure?
How to do it:
The vagina owner lies down on their stomach in a plank position while the penis owner positions themselves behind. Then the standing partner lifts their partner’s legs around their waist, penetrating them from behind. Of course, this position requires strength, trust, and support from both participants but guarantees an excellent deeper penetration.
2. Doggy With Exercise Ball
Doggy style is an old-timer calorie burner, and when you add an exercise ball to the mix, it becomes more fun and fit while creating the ideal friction that will help you reach an intense orgasm.
How to do it:
First, the vulva owner lies down with their stomach over the ball, their arms resting next to it. Position both hands on the ground for better balance. Then, your partner will get behind you, penetrating you in a standing position. You can wrap your legs around him and pull him towards you to achieve deeper penetration.
3. Missionary Plank
Any prejudgment of the missionary position is about to be lost since this is a great sex position if you’re into deep penetration and a complete upper body workout to strengthen your core.
How to do it:
One partner lies down on his back, while the other position themselves on top, elevating their body with their arms and shoulders, sustaining a plank position.
Pro Tip: If you’re into hardcore encounters, we suggest the partner on the top thrusts his way in and out for deeper penetration.
4. Stand and Carry (Best for shoulder)
Stand and carry proves you can grow your orgasms and muscles by choosing the correct sexual positions. Note: It requires someone accustomed to doing upper-body workouts and has enough strength in both shoulders and arms since they’ll carry their partner’s weight.
How to do it:
As the name instructs: stand up and carry your partner, placing your hands under their buttocks while facing face to face. Then, the one being carried will have to wrap its legs around your mid-body. Top clitoral stimulation is guaranteed.
Pro Tip: It’s easier to start with the bottom partner sitting on the edge of the bed.
Best sex positions for lower body strength
5. Pretzel Position
We love “the pretzel” since it is an excellent position for increasing flexibility and strengthening your legs and tights while accomplishing great intimacy in bed.
How to do it:
Lie on your left side and let your partner do all the work: he’ll have to kneel and sprawl your top leg, then lift your other leg and curl around his right side. You’ll be able to get an even deeper penetration from the typical sex positions while enjoying sexy eye contact.
6. Lotus
Better known as one of the most intimate sex positions, Lotus brings the best of clitoral stimulation, passionate kissing, and flexibility.
How to do it:
Tell your partner to start in a seated position with their legs crossed or on their knees; then, sit as close as you can get in front of them and wrap your legs and feet around your partner’s chest. Finally, he’ll have to thrust their legs under you.
Don’t be afraid to feel the proximity between each other; take the opportunity to hug, touch their thighs, gaze at them and kiss; Lotus is all about connection and romance!
7. Piledriver
It’s time to feel like a pornstar and get extra athletic. Yet, it is essential to mention this position requires flexibility, conditioning, and sometimes even a little training.
How to do it:
Start lying in bed in a reverse c-shape (you can google and imitate the yoga plow pose for further references); the key is to bend your legs as far as possible. Now, your partner will have to use all of their core strength since stand up and penetrate you, squatting, thrusting in and out.
The best: piledriver can be used either for anal or vaginal intercourse.
Best sex positions for a full-body workout
8. Leap Frog
Also known as the “naughty doggy,” this super hot sex position gives unique new angles of pleasure for everyone ready to try it.
How to do it:
Get down on all fours, but unlike traditional doggy, you’ll need to keep your hips raised. You can rest your head, feet, and arms on the surface, and once you’re ready, let your partner enter you from behind. This position is excellent if you’re craving a DEEP encounter.
9. Squatting cowgirl
When we believed cowgirl was the ultimate stamina-spender, someone made an update to this old-timer’s great position, improving the pleasure and the cardio performed.
How to do it:
Do the usual cowgirl position, only that this time you’ll have to plant your soles on the surface doing a squatting position. You’ll see how this little twist will enhance your experience by providing a deeper thrust.
10. The swing
If you’re into challenges, then you’re ready to try “the most difficult position,” according to the Kama Sutra. Even though it requires practice and condition, those who master this position could discover higher levels of pleasure.
How to do it:
Achieve this position by letting your partner sit on his back with his feet on the ground, knees up, and hips raised off the surface. Now, sit on top of them and start the penetration. Your goal is to find balance: use your butt, legs, and thighs to achieve it. Practice the swing on the floor instead of on a bed for better results.
Conclusions
As you’ve just discovered, sex does count as exercise for both men and women when doing it right. So maybe it’s time to skip the gym a few times per week and bring your workouts to your bed because sexercise is here to stay, providing its practitioners with the ideal method to relieve stress, support their immune system, and stretch and strengthen their bodies.
We also recommend not letting any prejudgement restrict you from experimenting with your partner(s), exploring new sensations, and trying multiple positions until you find your best position. As with any other workout method experimenting with new positions can make you feel clumsy at the beginning, but the mastership comes with the practice, and in the end, it’s all about having a great time. So get out of your head, stretch a little before experimenting, stay hydrated and let the bodies do the talk!
We hope these sex positions will get your arms and legs toned, get your body in shape, and most important: feel the best version of yourself while achieving intense orgasms. If you want more options, check out our sex position guide.
