Flexible For Better Sex
 |
Let's get stretching for better flexibility…in bed!
Previously, we've talked about how flexibility is your greatest asset when old age kicks in. Flexibility plays a big role in your life to prevent stiffness and injuries in the long run. In the meantime, being flexible will work to your advantage when it comes to activities in the bedroom. Wink! Wink!
For those times when you are adventurous enough to try some out-of-this-world sex positions, you'd be thankful that your body is as bendy as you want it to. There are exercises you can do to improve your sex life, but these simple stretches are just as good for those of us who are "allergic" to hardcore workout.
Try to incorporate the following into your daily routine for a great time between the sheets later:
Toes Stretches
Sit with your legs stretched out in front of you and then lean forward to touch your toes as comfortably as you are able to. This will help to de-kink the lower back and hamstrings. If you have a tub, try doing this in warm water to relax your muscles and help you reach further. Do one leg at a time if you find it easier and stretch for 30-40 seconds each time.
Butterfly Stretches
This position involves sitting with your knees bent to the side and the soles of your feet touching. It stretches your groin and inner thighs so push down on your knees if you want to make it more intense. Do this for 30 seconds daily.
Groin Stretches
To keep the muscles in your hips and around the pelvis stay flexible, lie on your back with the soles of your feet together, knees bent and out to each side. Pull your heels toward your groin and let your knees slowly drop towards the floor. You can also put your hands on your inner thighs and apply slight downward pressure to hold the stretch for 30 seconds.
Quad Stretches
For those who like going on top, this will help to keep your muscles on the fronts of the thighs strong and flexible. Kneel on a bed or the floor with your thighs perpendicular to it, legs at shoulder-width apart and toes pointed behind you. Position hands in front of your thighs and lean backward slowly until you feel the stretch in the front of your thigh and in your ankles. Hold for 15-20 seconds, repeat two-three times.
Lower Back Stretches
This is good for those with back troubles. Lie on your back and bend left knee. Hold it in position with your left hand and pull knee toward your chest. Keep stretching for 30 seconds and switch legs. Then do both legs at the same time.
Cross-Legged Stretches
While this may seem like a basic move, it is a great way to stretch your hip, knee and back. So any opportunity you find, try sitting cross-legged on the floor.
