Because of the physical nature of sex, it will help you burn calories but this is even better, according to Fitness Magazine, there are sex positions that burn more calories than the rest. Stacy Berman, founder of Stacy’s Boot Camp in New York, and a fitness trainer spoke to the magazine and highlighted the top sex position that can help you burn so much calories, reports Harry Fletcher, Loaded.
If you invest in them well, you can even lose weight while at it, one more reason for sex. How fulfilling will it be when you tell people the reason you’re having more sex these days is to help you lose weight, they would probably be looking at you strangely then go home and check online to find out if you’re just making excuses or it is really a thing, and honestly? It’s a thing.
Here are the top 5 positions you need to focus more on:
1. Cowgirl
Not only does the guy have the best view in the room, full frontal delight. It can also be help to burn calories like normal exercises do. To make it work better for the guy, you can add a couple of slight modifications to the position. The woman is pretty sorted. Guys can add abdominal tensing and crunches to it, these will help to boost the core strength.
The lady can assume the squat position to get her exercise on, “To make it even more intense, she can come up onto her feet, almost like a squat over him. That’s all butt, legs, and hips,” She told the magazine. “If she gets up onto her feet and leans onto her hands, she’ll also have to use her upper body to balance.”
2. Doggy Style
This enjoyable position can also help you burn a lot of calories, and also with a few modifications. The ladies hands are on the wall, she uses her upper body to move with him. This position helps to exercise the core muscles, glutes and quadriceps, also very good for cardio workouts and aerobics.
She told the magazine “If the woman has her hands on a wall in front of her and sort of uses her upper body to help thrust, that would be a good shoulder and upper body workout.”
3. Missionary
Yes, missionary as well can help you burn calories also lose weight? How? Traditionally, it is great for cardio exercises. Very good for building core strength. Speaking on it, Berman said “It depends on how enthusiastic you are about it, but missionary can be great for the core muscles.”
“If your partner is thrusting toward you, you want to have an equal and opposite thrust back, and that requires a lot of core strength. It actually will start burning.”
4. Standing
This position speaks for itself, it requires almost more physical exertion than the rest. The guy lifts his partner, Berman said it is a good way to enhance core and upper leg strength. It is a hard position but it also boasts of one of the best rewards.
5. Scissors
One of the unusual positions, this can help a long way to boosting core strength and inner thigh strength. Also super for ladies. It may be one of the unpopular sex positions but very good for exercising. “When you squeeze your inner thighs, the core will naturally contract as well,” She told Fitness Magazine.
