Five Exercises to Improve Your Sex Life (Yes, Really)

Let’s talk about it. No, not burpees—sex. Believe it or not, your performance in the bedroom can be directly improved by what you’re doing in the gym. (Spoiler alert: missionary and deadlifts have more in common than you think.)

At REVIVAL, we’re all about functional fitness—and what’s more functional than having a great time between the sheets?

Here are five exercises that’ll boost your strength, stamina, flexibility, and confidence—in and out of the gym.

1. Hip Thrusts

Because strong glutes are always a good idea.

If there’s one exercise that directly correlates with sexual performance, it’s the hip thrust. Strong glutes mean better hip extension, more control, and—yes—a stronger thrust. Plus, you’ll look fantastic in jeans. Everybody wins.

Bonus: Add tempo reps or a pause at the top for increased endurance. You’re welcome.

2. Deadlifts

The king of full-body strength—and pelvic stability.

Deadlifts build everything from your posterior chain to your core and grip. All that strength and control through your hips, lower back, and hamstrings translates to power, endurance, and better movement mechanics in the bedroom. Also great for lifting your partner with confidence (and consent).

3. Kettlebell Swings

Cardio + hip power = spicy benefits.

Think of kettlebell swings as the energetic cousin of the deadlift. They improve explosive hip movement, core engagement, and cardiovascular endurance—all very helpful for those longer sessions where rhythm and stamina are key.

Plus, they’ll get your heart rate up in more ways than one.

4. Planks & Core Work

Because no one wants to cramp up mid-sesh.

A strong core isn’t just for six-packs (although those don’t hurt). Core stability gives you better control over your body, helps prevent awkward collapsing, and supports all kinds of adventurous positions. Whether you’re holding yourself up or supporting someone else, your abs will thank you.

Try variations like side planks or mountain climbers to spice things up (in the gym... or maybe later).

5. Mobility Drills (Yes, We’re Going There)

Stretch it out. Trust us.

Tight hips? Stiff lower back? Not exactly the stuff of steamy dreams. Incorporating regular mobility work (think 90/90 stretches, hip openers, and spinal twists) can seriously increase your range of motion and make everything feel better. Like everything.

Add mobility to your weekly routine and prepare for smoother moves—on and off the mat.

The best thing about training? It boosts your confidence. And confidence is the most attractive quality you can bring into the bedroom. Whether you're training for performance, health, or just to feel better in your body, it all counts.

At REVIVAL Personal Training in Hammersmith, we’re here to help you feel stronger, move better, and maybe even add a little extra spice to your life.
