If you are like most women, you don’t exactly feel in top physical form since you gave birth. If you are not feeling comfortable in your body, this can affect your sex drive and your libido can become lower. Here are 8 easy exercises to strengthen certain muscles which will give you more strength and flexibility in bed. What better way to boost your libido!
For best results, repeat these exercises around ten times a day or every other day!
1) Kegel exercises
Kegel exercises strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, which increases sensation in the vagina. They also help fight against urinary incontinence. After giving birth, your pelvic floor muscles are weaker, and require strengthening exercises several times a day.
Contract your pelvic muscles by squeezing as if you wanted to hold in your pee. Hold the contraction for 10 seconds and repeat three times. This daily exercise is great for increasing libido!
2) Stretch out your hips
Having wide, supple hips can lead to a fulfilling sex life!
Lying on your back, bend your knees and lie your arms by your sides. Gently part your knees outwards, pressing them as close as possible to the floor, with your feet together, planted firmly on the floor.
3) Strengthen your pelvic muscles
Pregnancy and birth weaken your pelvic muscles, and it is recommended that you exercise them to intensify your orgasms and avoid urinary problems.
In a standing position, balance your pelvis by making circular movements. You should feel your abdominal muscles controlling the movement of your pelvis.
4) Increase your endurance
For more endurance in bed, you need to strengthen the quadriceps, glutes and inner thighs. During sexual intercourse, these muscles will allow you to control the depth of penetration.
Standing up with your back straight and your feet apart (but not too much), place your hands on your hips and lower yourself gently, by bending your knees. Look straight in front of you. Hold the position for a few seconds before straightening up. Repeat ten times.
