Celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson knows exactly how to train clients to attain their strongest, healthiest bodies yet. So it’s no real surprise she teaches exercises that can help grow their sex lives too. Intrigued? In this video, Anderson shows us five moves that ready your body to (comfortably) take on any position between the sheets.
Anderson makes her signature tweaks to standard exercises like bridges, planks, lunges, and crunches so that they challenge parts of your muscles much more, and improve flexibility. For instance, by moving from the one-handed plank to a bridge press, you’ll work your arms, shoulders, core, glutes, and thighs with a single move. Boom.
Also involved in this better-sex routine? Hip tilts and deep side lunges that unwind the pelvis and sculpt the booty so you’re even more ready to work up a sweat within the buff. A quick interlude of ab-contracting back arches (think: cat and cow-like movements you may recognize from yoga class) will stretch the limbs and cinch the core which means you feel longer and more limber.
Next, Anderson creatively combines a classic bridge pose with a reverse split that can take the legs up in the air while your back stays on the mat. From there, you’ll scissor-kick the legs, then return to start. Finally, the celebrity trainer ends the workout having a crossed leg split stretch for just one final flexibility challenge.
Want in? Simply follow along as you discover the shocking truth above. You’ll do 30 reps of each move ahead one for reds, then repeat the series on the other side.
