5 sex positions to burn calories and strengthen your muscles

Porn stars are often attractive with tight bodies and nice abs. Is it due to the amount of sex they have? Although it is tempting to believe that sex helps burn calories and improves your fitness, the truth may not be so appealing.

You can have sex with your core engaged and quads supporting you with thrusting. Your arms are used to brace yourself. It is not clear if you can get a six-pack by fucking only.

If we take a scientific look at it, the average amount of energy required for sex is 5-6METS. This is an acronym that means the same amount as walking at 3-4 mph. You may have heard that orgasms burn more calories than walking.

You won't soon be quitting the treadmill if you consider that an average sex session is only 5.4 minutes long.

But there's more; blowjobs can feel like a lot of work. We'll be looking at:

Sex positions that provide a great workout for the strap-on or dick-happy wearer

How to lose calories while you are getting penetrated

These sex positions give everyone involved some cardio.

You can then decide if the HIIT class is worth your time.

1. Doggy style

A little bit of dog love is a good thing. It makes you look slimmer and your sex looks more attractive. The giver has a great view and easy access to his or her ass for spanking or anal play.

Doggy-style workout for the taker

You will need to brace your arms on all fours so that you can take the thrust. This will ensure that your shoulders, triceps and biceps are engaged. You can also move your abs by twerking with your partner.

Dog-style workout for the giver

There is always something to do when you give a dick, whether it be silicon, flesh, or plastic. Doggy requires you to work out your abs and thigh muscles to propel the dog forward.

You can add more muscle groups to your sex workout by placing your partner on the edge of the sofa or bed and then pushing into them. This will engage more leg muscles and get more blood pumping.

2. Cowgirl

Boobs are a very common position in porn sex. The person who takes the D has full control over the angle and depth of the kiss. This is a position of power for the person taking the D, as they can decide when and where to get their orgasm.

Cowgirl exercise for the taker

To get that bounce, the person at the top must use their quads. It takes core strength to hold the position straight.

To add more variety to cowgirl, you can add two versions to it:

Do the squat instead of resting on your knees. Your thighs and asses will be grateful.

Reverse cowgirl: Turn your back to your partner. You get a great view and if you do it in squat you can also be in the classic porn position.

Cowgirl exercise for the giver

This is a passive position for the person at the bottom. This is not a position where you can push up to meet your partner's sex, but it is "lie back and enjoy" sexuality.

3. Standing

It's like being a missionary but it requires more effort. There are many ways to stand up and each one will target different muscle groups.

To gain forward access, the dick-taker can lift one leg. They can also jump up and wrap their legs around their giver's waist. Or, they can do a modified doggy style and brace against walls to take it from behind.

Standing exercise for the taker

How active you are in sex will determine how intense your workout. You'll get a lot of work out if you wrap your legs around your partner and bounce on him.

Standing exercise for the giver

Standing will make your heart beat faster than if you are lying down. You'll engage your quads and glutes when you have to bend your knees in order to brace yourself. You will need arm, shoulder and core strength to support the weight of your partner wrapped around.

4. Lotus

It is super intimate to get into a tangle with your partner in lotus sex. Place your legs around your partner and place the take on the recipient's thighs.

Lotus exercise for the taker

To get the best lift, you'll have to work your abs and ass.

Lotus exercise for the giver

The giver can be active or passive depending on their position. You have the option to meet your partner by thrusting up. This will work your core, as well as your abs. Additionally, bracing with your arms behind your body will help to work your upper arms.

You can also sit back and watch them work.

5. Wheelbarrow

This is a wheelbarrow race that you may have seen in your school days. The giver is between the legs, while the taker lies face-down.

The taker should lift their legs and then use their arms to lift the other person. Imagine doing a push-up, and your hips are raised.

For the taker, wheelbarrow exercise

When you do plank, you engage all the same muscles as when you do arm and leg exercises - core, shoulders and arms. If you are serious about getting sex, you can add push-ups to your workout.

For the giver, wheelbarrow exercise

For this, you'll need a strong core and good arms to hold on to your partner. You'll see activity in your quads and ass.
