A healthy body leads to a healthy sex life by increasing the stamina, confidence and awareness of your body. But a Pilates exercise routine specifically targets flexibility, breathing and strengthens the muscles used during orgasm. For best results, jump right into a regular Pilates exercise routine. For a quick fix, here are some poses for better sex.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Exercise your pelvic floor. While sitting, inhale deeply through your nose and feel your rib cage expand. As you exhale, simultaneously pull your abdominal muscles into your spine and tuck your pelvis in without using your butt or thigh muscles. You should feel the muscles of your pelvic floor contract. Concentrate on holding this position before inhaling again.

  2. Step 2

    Position yourself on the floor Indian style. Instead of crossing your legs, sit so that the soles of your feet touch. Press your knees down to the floor as far as they can go and lean your torso forward as far as you can. You can keep your back rounded. Take deep, cleansing breaths.

  3. Step 3

    Sit on the floor, with your legs spread as wide apart as you can manage, your feet pointing upward and your thighs and butt contracted. Next, lean your body into the floor, using your palms to reach out as far as you can go. Keep your legs pointing up and breathe deeply as you lean in.

  4. Step 4

    Lie on your back with your legs on the floor and your knees bent, like you are about to do a sit up. Stretch your arms out so they are parallel with the rest of your body, palms flat on the ground. Now, use your abdominal muscles to lift your midsection into the air and hold. Keep using your muscles to lower yourself down.

  5. Step 5

    Start from the same position as Step 4, but lift your feet and legs upward so that they make about a 45 degree angle with the floor. As you do this, lift your neck and shoulders off the ground using your abdominal muscles, and lift your arms up so that they are extended parallel to your body. Hold this position for 10 deep breaths.

Tips & Warnings
  • To find the muscles of your pelvic floor, think about the muscles you contract to stop urinating. This the group you want to isolate in Step 1.
  • You can use the conscious breathing exercise in Step 1 when doing just about any abdominal workout, or at time when you are sitting down and have a few minutes.
  • When extending your legs in Step 5, be aware that the closer your legs are to the ground, the more difficult it will be to hold the position.
  • A Pilates exercise routine is best learned by watching an instructor. Holding a pose incorrectly can lead to severe muscle strain.
