Plank
Sex is lot more fun than hitting the gym, but it is also a pretty good way to work up some sweat. For strength and stamina, focusing on one’s core is critical.
Plank is a perfect way to strengthen the deepest layer of the ab muscles (transversus abdominis), along with the upper arms, thighs and buttocks. It builds the upper body strength for doggy style or woman-on-top position.
How plank is done
A plank is a simple, effective body weight exercise that requires no equipment and can be performed just about anywhere. Here are steps to follow:
• start in a push-up position and then drop to the elbows. The feet should be closer than shoulder-width apart with toes grounded into the floor
• Neutralize the neck and spine by looking at a spot on the floor about a foot beyond the hands. The head should be in line with the back
NB: start with small increments of time; 15seconds to 30seconds. As you get stronger, build up to a minute or even two minutes.
Leg swings
It is easy to get bored between the sheets if one is always relying on the same sex positions. Tight hips have it way from keeping one from exploring any new style. People who work a desk job are known to have limited flexibility. One can undo tightness with simple move that does not require any special equipment.
How to do leg swing
• use the right arm to help balance against a wall or chair
• Slightly bend the right knee to raise the right leg off the ground
