Sex as a workout?

from The Love Lab

Sex as a workout? Does it really burn fats and calories? Well, yes they do! But how intense should sex be to be able to call sex as a workout exercise? Sex requires stamina and energy to be able to endure longer in bed. Although, some may claim that sex is not considered a workout in burning your cellulite and maintaining your body tone because. Sex doesn't burn as much energy as a non-horizontal workout for most people, either. But do not also forget that sex is a physical exercise activity so it can be a great alternative for you to burn fats and sweat out! Sex as a workout the answer is still debatable. We all know sex can burn calories but not as much as you go to real training. However, sex is like doing a cardio exercise, and who doesn't love cardio exercise? Doing an exercise or having sex is better than you do nothing all day. Having sex once or twice a week contributes good, active, and healthy lifestyle. Sex increases serotonin levels or what we call the happy hormones. There are many benefits in sex as your alternative to your workout; it relieves you from anxiety and depression, even reduces high blood pleasure. There are many types of sexual exercise, like doing a kegel exercise which is very common to women, especially to women who gave birth; it helps their vagina get back into tone. There are sex positions considered or counted as exercise; for example the hot seat, the plankfurter, crouching cowgirl, shoulder stand, lotus positions having your partner cross-legged on the best and grind each other which all requires more energy and effort than any other sex positions. For some, they consider sex as workout others don't. But FYI ladies and gentlemen the beauty of sex gives you pleasure and workout for the body at the same time. If you're a busy person or a workaholic one, you better go for sex to release both work stress and at the same time, releasing sweat!
