You might be thinking that your sex life is just fine without doing core exercises, but wouldn’t you like a little more pleasure in the bedroom?

Doing core workouts is a fantastic way to connect in recreational, emotional and physical intimacy with your spouse.   Even better, it will lead to a more vibrant sexual intimacy that will benefit both of you.

3 Ways a Stronger Core Can Rock Your Bedroom

• Core exercises help strengthen the all-important pelvic muscles that you use during sex. Bonus!
• The flexibility you gain by having a stronger core can lead to more, how shall we say, interesting positions.
• Being active increases your stamina, which gives you the energy for more sex even if you get a little less sleep.

Let’s take a look at some specific exercises that you can do to improve in each of these areas.  Get your spouse to complete some core workouts with you, and you’ll both be thankful!
