Workout routines will often focus on one area of the body in order to let people target their own trouble spots. More often than not, this means routines that focus on your stomach, legs or butt. But other routines help to focus on something beyond the physical body. These routines focus on increasing a 
person’s range of motion, improving their energy or even giving their immune system a boost. One area of focus which has become a hot topic for trainers is sexual performance. Workouts that focus on improving your love life demand a lot – but they give a lot back.
BUILD YOUR ROUTINE
Workout routines for improving your sex life use common exercises so that people can get their feet wet and begin to build their own routine without being overwhelmed or intimidated. Here we’ve gathered together a few of the basic moves you can start with and then build from there.
Weight Lifting – Pumping iron officially got hot. Not only will lifting some weights improve your physique and make you even more appealing, regular weight lifting increases your stamina and boosts testosterone levels. If you’re new to weight lifting, start small, building up your strength by using repetitions instead of trying to lift as much as possible too soon. Doing too much too soon will have the opposite effect – you’ll strain your muscles and end up injured.
Kegel Exercises – Most people associate Kegels with women and it’s true that Kegels are popular with women. But the benefits this simple exercise gives to women translates nicely for men as well. In order to perform a Kegel simply sit or stand straight and contract the muscles in your groin, as if you’re trying to stop urinating mid-stream. Hold the contraction and then release. For men, this exercise improves the pelvic muscles which can help increase stamina and can also help treat premature ejaculation.
Aerobics – Aerobic exercise is, hands down, one of the best forms of exercise you can engage in. Aerobic exercise promotes a healthier cardiovascular system, improves circulation and has been linked with improvement in depression and chronic anxiety. On top of all that, one recent Harvard study found that men who engaged in aerobic activity had a lower risk of erectile dysfunction. The study followed 31,000 men over the age of 50 and found that the men who engaged in aerobic exercise cut their chances of erectile dysfunction by 30%. Aerobic activity is anything that really gets your heart pumping. Popular forms of aerobic exercise include:
- Stair climbing
- Indoor water rower
- Stationary bicycle
- Treadmill
- Jogging
- Walking
- Cycling
- Cross-country skiing or running
- Swimming
- Kickboxing
- Circuit training
Yoga, Tai Chi & Meditation – While an intense workout is great, don’t overlook the need for a cool down as time to stretch. Not only will it make your workout more effective, it can help you deal more effectively with stress and anxiety – two core causes of many performance problems.
REAP THE BENEFITS
Building a workout to improve your sex life is easy – start small and add more moves or 
repetitions as your endurance and energy levels climb. Make sure you don’t undermine all your hard work by indulging in fatty, processed foods. Instead revamp your diet to include a wider variety of fruits and vegetables while cutting back on fats and red meat. That doesn’t mean you have to become a vegetarian – simply introduce more plant based foods and you’ll soon find the health benefits are well worth skipping your routine burger.
The best part about building your own routine is that it’s something you can do as a couple. Working out together can quickly become a kind of foreplay since you both know your ultimate goal isn’t necessarily a lower weight or fitting into new clothes – it’s all about having the energy and sex drive that keeps you out of your clothes and between the sheets.
