Yoga is another popular option, and something anyone can do in the privacy of your own home or at a studio. There are even yoga DVDs focused specifically on improving your sex life by stretching, strengthening and stimulating the most sexual and sensual areas of the body. A Google or Amazon.com search will return many different options so you can choose which works best for you based on customer feedback.
Putting forth the effort to exercise regularly will quickly come full-circle. First of all, exercise (particularly cardio) gives you more endurance, according to about.com. On top of that, stronger, more flexible muscles give you a ton of new and exciting options in the bedroom. In the end, longer and more physically intense sex translates to more exercise and more calories burned in addition to what you already achieve in your regular workout. According to about.com, a 130-pound person burns off about seven calories for every 5 minutes of energetic sex.
From promoting general health to having better sex, exercise has a lot of benefits. Not only is it a fun surprise for your partner to see your new physique after some time apart over the summer, but you'll both be on the right track for attempting some of the more difficult positions you've always wanted to try.
In the end, the most important thing about exercise is that it makes you feel pretty darn good about yourself. Even if you don't see the results right away, stick with it. Knowing that you're doing something to improve your quality of life is very rewarding.
