The most useful exercises to increase libido
Last reviewed: 01.07.2025
It is no secret that physical exercise is not only good for health, but can also increase sexual desire in partners. However, this does not mean that you need to sweat in the gym for days, on the contrary, exercise should fill a person with sensuality and make him more open to sexual relations.
A team of psychologists and sexologists led by sexologist Marian Brandon presented a list of exercises that can add variety to your sex life.
Salsa lessons
During salsa classes, the human body burns 200 calories in half an hour. This is already a good start. In addition, you do not need to be a great dancer to repeat the movements that are so loved by millions of fans around the world. Moreover, it is unlikely that girls will refuse to put on a colorful outfit and stand on heels to dance a truly fiery dance.
Belly dance, bellydance
You may have been married for several years and know each other inside out, but if you decide to belly dance for your spouse, it will definitely not go unnoticed. The image of an oriental woman-mystery will attract with its attractiveness, unknownness and just magnetism. It is not for nothing that Indian girls learn the art of dance from an early age. Regular classes have a beneficial effect on the figure, making the waist thinner and the hips rounder. This affects the intimate relationships of the partners, because the woman feels liberated and free in bed.
Naked Yoga
This is a modern type of yoga that is becoming increasingly popular. The exercises can be performed both individually and in groups, the only condition is the absence of any clothing. Fans of such classes claim that during training, nothing prevents you from concentrating on thoughts about sex, and the more you think about it, the more you want to plunge into the world of sexual sensations.
Zumba
This dance fitness program was developed by Colombian instructor Alberto Perez. The classes are based on rhythmic movements performed to music. It is thanks to the combination of a fast tempo and music that resembles the sounds of salsa, merengue or reggaeton that a person gets an adrenaline rush, but does not feel tired.
Indian dances
Or as they are also called Bollywood dances. This type of dance is also able to awaken sensuality, and also burn about 200 calories per hour of training. The plasticity of the movements of this dance is simply fascinating and captivating, especially since their theme is based on legends and myths, and teaches the art of controlling your own body.
Hula hoop
Half an hour of hula hoop rotation burns 250 calories, and by the way, sexuality is born in a slender body. When a woman looks at her reflection in the mirror and sees a confident lady, it gives confidence and affects the level of sexuality.
