Sex is hot. But wouldn't it be even hotter if sex could make you, well... hotter? Yes! There are sex positions that can help you burn serious belly fat, and it's WAY more fun than going to the gym. There's no such thing as spot training (losing fat from a specific spot), but you CAN spot tone (tone your muscles in a specific spot in order to make that part of your body appear leaner).
"When it comes to using sex for exercise, there are two things that are key: cardio and muscle engagement. Cardio will help to get your heart rate up and burn calories, which burns fat all over your body — including your abs," says dating expert Laurel House.
We're living for options that let us skip gym time for sack time. And while most of us aren't having enough sex to completely replace other exercise, we can absolutely use it as a fun, stress-relieving supplement.
The key in using sex for toning and fitness is to target key spots and find what works — position- and endurance-wise — for that area. Imagine replacing lifting weights with a sex position. Sounds too good to be true, but it can absolutely work. Even better? Gym classes and personal trainers are expensive, but sex is more fun and doesn't cost a cent. (Well, for us. It'd be nice if he bought us dinner first.)
Also remember that beyond targeting muscle groups that will tone and stretch the right places, sex itself also burns calories. It's a win-win proposition. Here are seven positions you should try to burn that belly fat away.
