6 Calorie Burning Sex Positions That Count as Exercise
Sex is a kind of exercise, and it may be the most enjoyable way to burn calories you'll ever do.
Do you want to flaunt yourself in bed? There is a sex position for displaying all of the strength you are developing. Indeed, there are plenty of them! There are numerous methods to spice up your bedroom activities to get a vigorous, sweating workout while you're snuggled up with your lover once you start thinking outside the box.
These sex positions serve as a workout in addition to offering gravity-defying bragging rights! According to a University of Quebec at Montreal study, having sex can burn an average of 3.6 calories each minute. Although that figure is less than what they observed during a treadmill run, as many trainers say, "You get out what you put in!" therefore, these difficult positions may cause you to experience burns that are higher than usual.
Safety Considerations for These Calorie-Burning Sex Positions
While safety is crucial for all sex positions, while discussing certain stressful sex positions, it should take center stage.
These sex positions are meant to challenge your strength, balance, and cardiovascular system, much like a rigorous workout. However, unlike during a workout, most of us tend to turn off our logical "I'm too tired for another rep" minds during intercourse. Similar to what might happen at the gym, this could result in injury.
To help reduce your risk of injury:
- Make sure you're ready for any sex position you choose. Any sex position can be "achieved" while fully dressed to determine your readiness for sex. To screen yourself and decide whether you're ready to try a position, some of these sex positions can be further split down. To determine whether they are prepared to attempt the Lofted Drive posture below, the receiving partner could, for instance, attempt performing regular Tricep Dips alone.
- Ensure any surface you're using is weight-bearing and highly stable. If a dining room chair is the only thing keeping you two from falling to the ground, you had better make sure it can hold two people's bodies and a lot of horizontal movement without sliding over sideways.
- Opt for minimal movements. Everyone tends to move more sloppily when they are tired. More chances exist for the penis to be smacked at the incorrect angle during full, pull-all-the-way-out thrusts, which could result in a break. Instead, keep the penis completely inside the receiver's body, allowing for lesser movements while maintaining the shaft's internal anchor.
- Call it early. Since many of these sex positions demand a lover's body to be supported by their spouse, it might be risky to let your ego get in the way. Make sure to end the relationship before you're genuinely exhausted because ending it can do significant harm. It's impressive enough to get the sex position in the first place!
- Have an "easy" back-up sex position. The purpose of these cardio sex positions is to provide a challenge. When performing a tricep dip while perched on a penis, many people find it difficult to concentrate on achieving an orgasm. You have a recipe for sex that rarely results in orgasms when you combine that with the fact that the majority of these sex positions call for everyone's hands to be involved. Rather, arrange for an "easy" sex position so that you may both enjoy the challenge to the fullest and feel at ease enough to concentrate on pleasure.
- Remind yourself that the penis is shockingly easy to break if you ever find yourself inclined to engage in riskier behaviors. It can be broken by a forceful, misdirected thrust or by falling while inside someone. That and the subsequent ER visit are something that nobody desires.
Lofted Drive Position
In addition to providing both lovers with an upper body workout, the Lofted Drive position is also a very unusual sex position. With a unique penetration angle that can truly touch the g-spot or p-spot, this from-behind position provides a great deal of skin-on-skin contact.
What You're Doing:
While the receiving partner pushes themselves with tricep dips, the penetrating partner is effectively performing a chest press with their partner. Naturally, they must maintain their equilibrium and cooperate to coordinate their movements simultaneously.
Modify It With:
It's either a sex swing or a resistance band. The receiving partner will feel less "heavy" if you wrap a large resistance band around their waist (connected to a point above them) if you desire the weightlifting challenge of this sex position. Both of you may find things more straightforward as a result. The non-stretchy material of a sex swing can be utilized in the same way to support nearly all of the receiver's body weight if you enjoy the position's appearance without the strain.
Superman Position
They don't try to do "partner acrobatics" with penetration, even if it's a whole sport! The Superman Position is a photo-worthy sex position that doesn't involve licking furniture, combining sex with the careful balance of a partnered acrobatic balancing.
What You're Doing:
You are both performing a counterbalance acrobatic pose. The receiver's hamstrings must curl tightly to give stability, while the legs of the standing partner must simultaneously support the bodies of the two individuals. Lastly, the partner's thighs are being used to assist the receiver in doing an assisted back extension.
Modify It With:
This position can be made more accessible in two simple ways. Look for a wall that the standing partner can lean their upper back against if the balancing phase is giving them trouble. You can stand in front of any substantial piece of furniture so that the receiver can put their arms on it in a "plank" position if they are having trouble staying in place on the standing partner's body. Lastly, to significantly lessen the problem while still achieving that photo-finish, a sex swing, if you have one, might be positioned beneath the receiver's tummy to support the majority of their body weight.
Casket Sex Position
Although these ninja-like sex positions make it difficult to relive intimate, in-person events, the Casket sex position offers one. Seeing each other's faces can be a joy in and of itself, but kissing may be difficult unless the recipient is highly flexible.
What You're Doing:
Here, the receiver maintains a Reverse plan, which is the majority of the effort. With a solid grip on the receiver's leg, the penetrating partner makes it easier by creating tension against which the receiver's lower body can rest.
Modify It With:
As long as the penetrating partner can still find a method to get the proper angle for penetration, the receiver can drop onto their forearms to ease the strain on their upper body. Given the height of the lover, the receiving partner might also want to place their legs on furniture behind the entering partner, which would alter the angles their body must make in order to maintain this position.
This is easier for both participants because, as usual, we can support the receiver's weight with our handy sex swing beneath their hips.
Pair of Tongs Sex Position
If your heights are compatible, the Pair of Tongs pose will cause you to reconsider every Side plan you see in yoga in the future. Both partners must work together as a team to accomplish this demanding duty, but height will be crucial to the position's success.
You may "cheat" this one a little bit if your heights aren't compatible by providing the receiving partner with an object to rest their arm on to give them a little extra height! To lower the position, the receiver can also come onto a forearm.)
What You're Doing:
The receiving partner finds it more difficult to maintain a side plank without using their lower body. That arm might get a workout from this! Naturally, the standing companion can also be helpful, and the more weight the standing partner supports, the more difficult the standing partner's workout will be.
Modify It With:
In order to achieve the position if the angles aren't aligned, the receiving partner can "officially" elevate the side plank by placing their extended legs on a piece of furniture. In order to ease lower back pain and facilitate weight support, the standing partner may additionally decide to utilize a strap beneath the receiver's hips to provide an easy grip point. The standing partner can also squeeze their thighs around the receiver's thigh, creating a little more skin tension to help support some of the weight, if your bodies aren't too slippery.
Big Dipper Position
You can repurpose two pieces of furniture in your house by using the Big Dipper sex position. One of the few athletic sex positions that allow for intimate, face-to-face contact that is ideal for kissing is this one, although it may be difficult to concentrate on that connection due to the pressure from the penetrating partner.
(Warning: Verify that the two furniture items you select are firmly supported and secure.) The Big Dipper will push apart both pieces of furniture, and many lighter items tend to topple sideways when subjected to horizontal pressure.
What You're Doing:
Because they have to hold a straight-legged Tricep Dip between two pieces of (sturdy!) furniture, the penetrating partner has the more difficult task. But the receiving partner isn't totally excluded either, because the squat they must perform works their quadriceps hard.
Modify It With:
It can be challenging to maintain a flat Tricep Dip position, but the penetrating partner can quickly ease the strain by putting both feet level on the floor and letting their feet support a portion of their lower body weight. Additionally, since the extra weight of the receiver's body adds a (physical!) weight to the workout, communicate actively with them. The penetrating partner will find it more straightforward to maintain the stance if the receiver bears a more significant portion of their weight. Finding taller or shorter furniture to perform this sex position on can allow you both to adjust the amount of "squat" required if the receiver is having trouble maintaining it.
To immediately lessen the difficulty of this position, use your sex swing as a "seat" beneath the penetrating partner's hips.
Little Dipper Position
Are you searching for fresh ways to use your home's furniture? Your couch and chairs will be rethought in light of the Little Dipper's sex position, which will make the receiver feel it the following day.
Just be sure the chair you select is solid! It would be simple for the chair supporting the feet to topple in this particular sex position.
What You're Doing:
For the penetrating partner, this is the most straightforward sex position; all they need to do is relax and enjoy. To facilitate each thrust, the receiving partner will perform a Tricep Dip. I hope it wasn't arm day today!
Modify It With:
The receiving partner can remain in place as the penetrating partner raises their hips to make thrusting easier if they find it easier to maintain the position than to move up and down. Instead of needing a chair, the receiver can plant their feet firmly on the floor as long as the angles remain aligned. Because the feet will be bearing a more significant portion of their weight, this lower position may make the Tricep Dip simpler.
Spider Monkey Sex Position
You may want to try the Spider Monkey sex position if you've ever dreamed of having spontaneous sex in a yoga session! The recipient may have the ideal hip angle to facilitate intercourse with a close-standing partner when they are in a headstand!
Just be cautious to go very, very slowly into this posture. This position is very susceptible to penis injury because of the dangerous angle of the penis, and nobody wants that to happen!
What You're Doing:
The penetrating partner's key responsibility when standing is to keep their balance. The receiver has the challenging task of maintaining a handstand or forearm stand for the duration of the position.
Modify It With:
The receiver should shift as much of their hip weight onto their penetrating partner as possible to make the headstand as easy to balance as possible. To provide another point of stability, think about doing this position against a wall, with both partners' sides against one wall. A headstand bench can help the recipient reach this inverted posture if the height is still suitable, mainly if they don't frequently hang out upside down. To keep the physical challenge while eliminating the extreme penile angle, try rotating the penetrating partner if the back-to-back positioning isn't comfortable for your body.
The Standing Wheelbarrow Position
The Standing Wheelbarrow is a sex position that tests the receiver's upper body strength. All you need are your two bodies and no furniture. Some receiving partners can experience the blood rush that comes from this inverted posture, and the position allows for deep penetration.
What You're Doing:
Maintaining an inverted plank stance that verges on a handstand, the receiving partner is putting in the most of the effort here. However, the penetrating partner is not excluded and will have to use their biceps to hold a portion of the receiver's weight in order to facilitate the process.
Modify It With:
Many people find it challenging to support the majority of their body weight in their arms! The receiving partner can rest their face and chest against a low piece of furniture, such as the folded Liberator Flip-Ramp if that is the case. Maintaining the position is made easier by the supportive furniture's ability to bear a large portion of the receiver's weight. To lessen the amount of weight the penetrating partner must maintain, you can also strategically position a sex swing beneath the receiver's hips if you have one on hand.
