The Oomph in Your Workout

by Garreth Myers


Women don’t need elaborate, erotic fantasies of ripped men in their tiny boxers to have an orgasm. All they need is some power exercising! A new research published online in the journal, Sexual and Relationship Therapy, confirmed the evidence that exercising could lead to female orgasms. No vibrators or kinky foreplay, just simple exercising could be satisfying.

About 40% of the women between 18 and 63 years, reported to have experienced exercise induced orgasm and exercise-induced sexual pleasure. While 15.8% women linked having an orgasm to biking/ spinning and 9.6% to walking/hiking, about 51.4 % women said abdominal exercises got them really excited. Debby Herbenick, Associate Director of the Center for Sexual Health Promotion at the Indiana University, said that the data is important as it suggests that orgasm is not necessarily a sexual event.  This could be enough motivation to slip into those cycling pants and hit the gym pronto! And even if none of the men on the floor were half as interesting, you could immerse yourself in the exercise experience to pleasure yourself

So is an orgasm independent of sex? And how is it that a woman doesn’t need a man to turn her on? Several studies indicate that pelvic floor muscle training exercises help improve sexual response, for both men and women. Kegel exercises, that strengthen the pelvic muscles, are known to have the same effect. Rosenbaum, P.T., a urogynecological physiotherapist and certified sexual counselor explains that an orgasm is likely to occur “when a woman is feeling calm and relaxed and—most importantly—open to it.”

Here are a few exercises that you could try out.

Leg Raise from a Handle Bar: Suspend yourself from a pull-up bar. Keep your legs and back straight and slowly lift your legs up until they are parallel to the floor. Don’t swing while you raise your legs up. Slowly lower your legs and repeat the same movement again.

Side Crunches from a Handle Bar: Hang from the handle bar and slowly bring your knees up. Your thighs and torso need to form a 90 degree angle. Curl your left hip toward your left shoulder and use your core to keep you from swinging. Do this to the right as well. Keep alternating between the two for another 15 times.

Medicine Ball Blast: Adjust the ab bench to a 45 degree angle. Rest down on it and hold the padded support bar with your feet. Balance a medicine ball at your chest as you lower yourself. As you come up, chest-pass the ball. Then catch it at the top of the movement and slowly lower yourself. Repeat this again.

However what’s most important is that women maintain proper posture and form while exercising.
