We hate New Year’s resolutions. While we don’t have any problem with self-improvement, New Year’s resolutions always sound like things Catholics give up for Lent, and are just generally un-fun. But in the spirit of the New Year, we decided to come up with some sex resolutions that are positive, enjoyable, and totally doable. If at this point you’ve already abandoned going to the gym everyday or not eating a single carb, try out some of our sex resolutions instead. They will be easier to stick to and a whole lot more fun.

Sex Resolution #5: Exercise to Better Sex

Ugh, I know, more exercise is the most cliché and least successful New Year’s resolution there is. But what if instead of focusing on pounds and inches, you exercised to have better sex and feel good about yourself? Exercise has been proven to elevate mood, boost confidence, improve health, and have a positive affect on your sex life. So instead of counting calories, start a routine that will be fun, sexy, and that will definitely work your other sex muscles – your abs.

Yoga. Pilates and yoga are great to try for strength and flexibility, both of which can be put to good use during sex play. The mindfulness component of yoga, or the awareness of the present moment, has been proven to improve one’s sexual satisfaction, especially among women who were easily distracted.

Belly dancing. Sensuality, femininity, and movement make belly-dancing a sexy activity, nevermind that it’s also a great workout. Belly dancing has a number of benefits, and is becoming more popular, so you’ll likely be able to find a class near you.

Pole dancing. Pole dancing is the trendy way to work up a sweat and your libido. Pole dancing tones various muscle groups while giving you the chance to practice your best “come hither” stare. Sadly, I missed Jason’s pole dancing debut last Spring, but he assures me that he was great, even though it was quite tough.

Old-school exercises to try at home. Hey, not everyone likes group classes or has a pole readily available, but traditional floor exercises that focus on core muscles, especially lower abs and pelvis, will do the trick. Working out can give pelvic thrusts a whole new meaning.
