These 6 Stretches Will Majorly Level-Up Your Sex Life

We all want to have the best sex possible. That’s a given. But in the modern world, all those hours we spend hunched over our computers or staring down at our smartphones aren’t doing our bodies any favors — and our sex lives are suffering as a result. Personal trainers will be the first people to tell you how important it is to stretch and it’s not just a problem for your not-so-great knees or preventing workout injuries — your stiff bod isn’t your friend when you’re trying to get off.
After all, when we don’t stretch, we’re restricting our body’s range of motion. By stretching, our range of motion improves, and we’re able to move in ways that might not have been possible before, says Vince Sant, certified International Sports Science Association trainer and co-creator of the fitness platform V Shred. So, if stretching can lead to better sex and sex is good for you, this feels like a no-brainer.
The best part? “Arousal and blood circulation have a direct correlation,” he says. “Stretching your hip and leg area sends large amounts of blood flowing through the pelvic area.”
Now that’s something to strive for! Plus, to get these benefits, you don’t have to spend hours in a fitness studio, especially if you’re time strapped. The six stretches below are recommended by experts specifically to improve your sex life. Do them on the regular, and the results just might blow your — and your partner’s — minds.
