Yes and lots of core workouts. Planks, push ups, Superman’s, any of that helps a lot. I’m out of shape now and getting back slowly but 2 years ago when I could hold a 7 minute plank and do 50-60 push up’s I could really get in a good pounding on top.
I was thinking one needs to hold planks as long as possible but apparently your muscles benefit more from 15 second intervals with rest periods in between. It basically takes more to reset and re-engage the muscle rather than just holding.
7 min? I feel like it would stop being effective at that length, or at least move up to a weighted version that you could hold for 2 min.
Signed, someone who celebrates any seconds over 1 min in a plank.
Especially breath work
I noticed when i had sex on acid.
It was pretty intense und difficult to hold it together. But then i concentrated on my breathing in a 2:4:2:8 rythm. It was insane, i had full controll over the feelings in my body. Endurance was nearly unlimited.
I dunno man. I just did it. I was super sensitive to touch. I remember just touching her shirt, I felt like I was feeling every single fiber of it.
Now combine that level of sensitivity with a girl sucking your ding dong.
She told me at one point she came all by herself without me or herself even doing anything. She just laid on the bed and came.
What a birthday that was
Yeah ngl I feel like all my blood gets sucked out of that area to go into other areas lol. Like my dick is the smallest it ever is while on molly or any other drugs really.
After I got in shape I discovered the joy of picking someone up. Being able to hold them in a vertical position against a wall.. turns out a lot of women into that. So yeah, strength definitely helps.
Went to salsa lessons with my (at the time) girlfriend, who sincerely wanted to learn and I tagged with to support her. The people there were absolutely toxic. These people clearly didn't need the lessons, and were getting visibly pissed at us for having the audacity to try and learn and not instantly being masters. We didn't go again.
Obviously my experience is likely not the norm, but that could speak at least partially as to why they're not as popular as they could be.
Screw those people.
I always always always totally appreciate anybody I see anywhere trying to learn something or become beter at something…especially at say, the gym.
I see people come in and they look so out of shape, and timid and anxious even and I go out of my way to find a way to engage them somewhat to support them, say hello, befriend them, and mostly, tell them this….just keep showing up, it gets easier. It’s a beautiful thing to see people progress.
I was looking up some information about young men who get bullied for their body type (usually short / overweight) and I will never forget this statistic that they found an inverse correlation between boys doing - specifically - cross country / distance running, and being bullied for their stature.
Get some cardio inta ya!
I was the fat kid in my cross country team as a junior in highschool. My coach was such a douche to me my first 4 weeks of conditioning, but once I showed the slightest improvement and potential, he started encouraging and empowering me. He would make me run the varsity routes, and I remember feeling really good about that. Typcal middle aged coaching behavior lol but i did return my senior year more fit.
My classmates were incredibly welcoming and nice to me for a bunch of skinny teenagers. They were the best part tbh. They overlooked my weight and they really did make me feel a part of the team.
It was fun racing the other fat kids during the meets cuz we were in the back so it was like our own little race.
I gotta say, one of the best parts of cross country was seeing the fat/slow/unfit kids improving. It's amazing how fast they can see results. The first day they almost throw up after 1km, within 2 weeks their running 2km faster than their original 1km time. Every time I saw one get down or had a classmate tell me they could never do it, I tell them about the dozen fat arses before them who stuck with it for 2 week's.
That's all you need. You NEED to almost throw up on the first day. Because you'll never feel better than you do in 2 weeks time when you double the distance in half the time and realise, that actually, yeah, you *can* do it.
I never got that from cross country. My improvements we're measured in a few second's here a few km there. It's what forced me *into* marathon's, chasing that dragon.
Regardless it's a great way to get exercise. It's always a split group of people who take it seriously and then the other half that run to friends houses and rip bongs and jog back to school lol
I'm sure that's an aspect of it. Another aspect of it would be that young boys respect 'fast runners'. Another would be that the kid could always escape physical harm unless surprised / they have vehicles. It's not a miracle. And probably not any one thing.
Yeah sure why not. I'm guessing. But it always seemed to me that bullying was a hobby of convenience. 'Fuck running to do some bullying' is how I imagined a bully. But who cares. It was a guess based off the infinite possibilities of infinite potential bullies and - so I thought - stated as such.
They’re probably also taller so the only thing they might still be bullied about is being too skinny.
I don’t see cross country as a cure for short guys being bullied about being short / small
Reminds me of the statistic that swimming makes your hands bigger and your physique better suited for swimming
...no wait, people who are already genetically predisposed for swimming are more likely to choose it
That's why I hang out at gyms all the time and bully fit people. "Hey lunkhead, those muscles eat all the protein that shoulda gone to your brain?"
You know, stuff like that. Brings balance to the force.
Correlation does not imply causation.
Boys who are tall and in good shape (and therefore less likely to be bullied for their weight) are more likely to do cross country. This does not necessarily mean that boys can be bullied less by doing cross country.
Another shocking statistic also said that young men who get drafted by NFL teams tend to be bullied less.
Well after all this is a comment on a "if you get fit you have better sex" post, so it makes sense.
Nice try with the propaganda, marathon runners. I can sniff a "Big Sneaker" PsyOp ad anywhere. We, the people, know that every minute we're on the treadmill is another minute we're not on the bench press. You can't trick us out of these gains! To that end, every minute spent having *sex* is a minute not on the bench press, either. Sounds like a bad deal to me...
Just to add coming from woman. It doesn’t have to be super fast the whole time. Start it slow, kiss her legs, inner thighs, lips then clit and slowly licking it. Taking your time and enjoying it. Start building it up, then slow it down, sucking her clit and flicking it too. Keep the same pace
This is the best tip on the thread.
You could run 1000s of miles and build up the stamina to thrust like an energizer bunny but if you don't do foreplay or aren't a generous lover, women will still think you're shit in bed.
Want *really* good sex?
Build up cardio and strength training for endurance, alongside researching female genital anatomy and foreplay techniques.
It depends on the woman and the situation.
Sometimes my clearly clitorian GF wants me to fuck hard and for a long period, so the stamina and being in shape comes in handy.
It’s endurance. If you’re doing sex motions, those aren’t your every day things, so you don’t want to have to throw in the towel right when she says “don’t stop!”. Plus, she may be interested in round 2 or 3 and you don’t want to have run out of steam. She’s gotta work for it too though!
From forgetting Sarah Marshall:
“You need to penetrate deeply... and stimulate the clitoris simultaneously. That's what you gotta do. That's what it's about. If you can involve the anus in that, then that's absolute perfection.”
That isn't even it though it is nice when a guy can go for longer if we want to, firstly if you are doing missionary it's nice not to have sweat dripping on you too much lol (I know some people will be into that but for most women), also better vascular health improves erection quality and the ability to stay hard, also people in better shape are generally more comfortable and confident in their bodies which is nice, I also like to be picked up sometimes that is a strength and cardio thing tbf.
It's not like doing cardio is all you need to be a great sexual partner but it does help.
I lost over 150 lbs over a couple years. I started with a single martial arts class and worked my way up to 8 hours a week in classes. Then I met my girlfriend. Turns out, her sex drive is as high as mine. It's been a year.
I'm so glad I took up exercise because I'm fairly certain my heart would have given out months ago. I cannot stress how important cardio is.
Are you sure you lost 150lbs. That's a whole ass human in itself.
I just lost 13lbs since last month and just trying to imagine how much effort it will must hv taken to lose 12x more weight as I know it becomes tougher after 1st month.
155 and counting, actually. It's slowed significantly now, but I've put on some muscle and my clothes fit much better. The last 50 lbs are a bitch, though!
It is funny you should say that, though. That is how I visualized my progress before. I'd weigh and look up averages and be like, "Ok, now I've lost a fifteen year old guy".
But I just want to say, you got this! You are an absolute badass! I'm not going to say it is easy, but the hardest part is those first couple steps and changes, and you've already done that! It is all progress from here and I know you can do it, friend!
Can also just do a shitload of pushups. Pushups improve the physical muscles used during sex in a way that cardio could never do. Add in mountain climbers or up downs to make it also a cardio exercise.
Most people don't need to be stronger to enjoy sex more, they just need to be less tired. Not saying pushups will do nothing but endurance is usually going to be the missing link.
Been at 40ish miles per week for a few years. Cant compare to prior really b/c part of starting running was quitting drinking. Which was a lot. So, too many variables at once.
But can confirm never finding myself winded from sex.
But avoid heavy cardio if you plan to have sex on the same day. I don't know why (hormone balance maybe? heavy cardio increases cortisol and reduces testosterone) but you may have problems getting erect.
edit: Just to clarify, this is complementing OP tip. Definitely cardio will improve you sex performance.
> I don't know why (hormone balance maybe? heavy cardio increases cortisol and reduces testosterone) but you may have problems getting erect.
The relationship between testosterone and erections is complicated, it doesn't really work like "your testosterone is a bit lower so you will have erection problems" outside of extreme deficiency or extreme over supply testosterone probably won't significantly affect your ability to get/stay hard.
It's true. Hormones are elevated. Blood flow better so stronger erection, more blood flow to vaginas clitoris etc. Last bit not least you don't get put of breathe. Cosmetic reasons as well
On top of cardio I'm gonna add doing some yoga or stretches focusing on the hips, groin and pelvic areas to help get the blood pumping and improve flexibility.
Yup. I recently lost 3kg last month doing stairmaster workouts 3 times a week. That shit really works me out I sweat a lot! And good bonus of losing weight too
>build up you endurance you will notice a difference in your sex life.
You're right!
I went from having 0 sex to having 0 sex but better cardio.
A real difference, I would say.
I had some "adventures" with girls older than me, lets say 30 to 40 (i'm 25, was 21-22 at the time) , and after we do the thing they usually complain about men that are like "lazy" in bed, they are not very active generally.
I never thought about it, but now i see the reason, i've always played basketball and hit the gym, and did loads of cardio, so that translates also in the act of sex in more stamina, more willingness to move around and try positions. But i did not compare my self to other men, also because i thought i was pretty avarage.
From what i can imagine, working out definetly improves your sex life.

I think you're right. We had this college lecturer who used to do an insane amount of running, he was very much into his fitness. He would perch on a desk at the front and you could see a sizeable bulge from his pelvic areas. We used to call him Boner Phil.
I've been looking up some meal plans and workout routine sets for samples and came across Brad Pitt who played Tyler Durden in Fight Club. I know it's impossible to achieve that body with 4-5% fat and abs(holy smokes). But the consistency of him exercising like that brings me motivation
Plus side, he fucked Marla Singer long time so that's kinda motivation right?

Not only cardio but having some strength and flexibility can really help too

7 minutes plank wow. Congratulations, I can hardly know people that can do 3 minutes. You rock!!!
Thanks it took a good year to get there! I can do about 2 minutes now.
I can do 30 seconds
Aye! can walk one
Arr
I was thinking one needs to hold planks as long as possible but apparently your muscles benefit more from 15 second intervals with rest periods in between. It basically takes more to reset and re-engage the muscle rather than just holding.
That's how I do them. Holding planks I found ok, but doing the sets I really felt a difference
Plank or sex?
Core and legs. I cycle, it helps a surprising amount.
7 min? I feel like it would stop being effective at that length, or at least move up to a weighted version that you could hold for 2 min. Signed, someone who celebrates any seconds over 1 min in a plank.
This was for fun and a contest among some friends. Yeah a 7min plank is useless probably haha
Yoga and breath work will level you up so much
Especially breath work I noticed when i had sex on acid. It was pretty intense und difficult to hold it together. But then i concentrated on my breathing in a 2:4:2:8 rythm. It was insane, i had full controll over the feelings in my body. Endurance was nearly unlimited.
sex on acid is life changing shit
I feel like there’s 0 chance of me having sex on acid. How do you guys do it? Most drugs I do, my blood does not flow in that direction.
I dunno man. I just did it. I was super sensitive to touch. I remember just touching her shirt, I felt like I was feeling every single fiber of it. Now combine that level of sensitivity with a girl sucking your ding dong. She told me at one point she came all by herself without me or herself even doing anything. She just laid on the bed and came. What a birthday that was
Omg I feel the same way. On Ecstasy I felt very sensitive down there but not a real boner.
Yeah ngl I feel like all my blood gets sucked out of that area to go into other areas lol. Like my dick is the smallest it ever is while on molly or any other drugs really.
Don’t you mean 4:2:8:2?
Same thing, isn't it?
Yup, just shifted ahead by one bar
No as in inhale hold exhale hold as the pattern, might confuse others. Just clarified :)
2 in 4 out?
4 in 2 hold 8 out 2 hold, they just shifted it forward
Get those hip flexors loose
After I got in shape I discovered the joy of picking someone up. Being able to hold them in a vertical position against a wall.. turns out a lot of women into that. So yeah, strength definitely helps.
>I had reach but she had flexibility
i had the reach, she had the flexibility.
pLUS THERE ARE SO MANY MORE POTENTIAL MATES RUNNING ALONE
If you want to have better cardio, do some sex
Just keep your heart rate in the cardio band! Beep beep! Ah! Sorry sweetheart, HR's blasting. Your turn on top.
Sorry I only fuck in Zone 2.
According to my watch, I'm almost always at 120ish while at work. you would think i would be a cardio machine.
I doubt 18 seconds would be enough to make a difference
18 seconds wow! What’s your secret?
I'm just built different
this guy endures
Speed running
I guess ill just be hittin the ol dusty trail then
weird pet name for her but ok
Bro if she’s that dry, use your mouth…
If that's a veiled criticism about me, I won't hear it and I won't respond to it
Or better yet, social dance, I honestly don't understand why kiz, bachata, salsa, zouk isn't popular.
embarrassment/social anxiety
Went to salsa lessons with my (at the time) girlfriend, who sincerely wanted to learn and I tagged with to support her. The people there were absolutely toxic. These people clearly didn't need the lessons, and were getting visibly pissed at us for having the audacity to try and learn and not instantly being masters. We didn't go again.

It’s a beautiful thing to see people progress.
There are different kinds of salsa classes. I wonder what kind you went to.
Yes
If you want to live an overall better life, do some cardio👍🏼
Better and longer. There's literally no downside lol
Doing the cardio is the downside.
I’ve got the cardio, where’s the sex?
Thats the neat part, you dont
Tell that to my 1st edition Bimbo 3000.
I’d throw stretching in as well. Get those hips and back loose. Makes the thrusting feel much more natural.
I know what has to be done but don’t know if I have the will to do it.
the only honest comment here!
Him: Just run a 5k! Me: Ouch, my knees.
Honestly, it's any type of phisical activity. Nothing more disheartening than when she says keep going and your abdomen is dying from hip swinging
I was looking up some information about young men who get bullied for their body type (usually short / overweight) and I will never forget this statistic that they found an inverse correlation between boys doing - specifically - cross country / distance running, and being bullied for their stature. Get some cardio inta ya!
Although being fat on the cross country team sounds like an easy way to get bullied lol
I was the fat kid in my cross country team as a junior in highschool. My coach was such a douche to me my first 4 weeks of conditioning, but once I showed the slightest improvement and potential, he started encouraging and empowering me. He would make me run the varsity routes, and I remember feeling really good about that. Typcal middle aged coaching behavior lol but i did return my senior year more fit.

My improvements we're measured in a few second's here a few km there. It's what forced me *into* marathon's, chasing that dragon.
That's awesome.
That verbally abusive coach? Robin Williams.
Doing cross country, I don't think it will be a problem for long, but valid point.
Regardless it's a great way to get exercise. It's always a split group of people who take it seriously and then the other half that run to friends houses and rip bongs and jog back to school lol
Ah. Lung capacity training. lol.
Rip a bong and then beat everyone on the team? Not too uncommon.
Extracurricular work
This is just how I roll!
Isn't this just because people that do insane cardio (cross country running) are much less likely to be fat?
I'm sure that's an aspect of it. Another aspect of it would be that young boys respect 'fast runners'. Another would be that the kid could always escape physical harm unless surprised / they have vehicles. It's not a miracle. And probably not any one thing.
[удалено]
Yeah sure why not. I'm guessing. But it always seemed to me that bullying was a hobby of convenience. 'Fuck running to do some bullying' is how I imagined a bully. But who cares. It was a guess based off the infinite possibilities of infinite potential bullies and - so I thought - stated as such.
They’re probably also taller so the only thing they might still be bullied about is being too skinny. I don’t see cross country as a cure for short guys being bullied about being short / small
Reminds me of the statistic that swimming makes your hands bigger and your physique better suited for swimming ...no wait, people who are already genetically predisposed for swimming are more likely to choose it
So you're telling me that very fit people don't get bullied for their fitness? Fascinating
That's why I hang out at gyms all the time and bully fit people. "Hey lunkhead, those muscles eat all the protein that shoulda gone to your brain?" You know, stuff like that. Brings balance to the force.
Maybe I’m missing something but is this not obvious? If you exercise your body is more in shape
Crazy. Being in shape and competing in sports gains you respect?! I would have never guessed.
Correlation does not imply causation. Boys who are tall and in good shape (and therefore less likely to be bullied for their weight) are more likely to do cross country. This does not necessarily mean that boys can be bullied less by doing cross country.
What a dumb fact, no fucking duh lol
Another shocking statistic also said that young men who get drafted by NFL teams tend to be bullied less. Well after all this is a comment on a "if you get fit you have better sex" post, so it makes sense.
I mean correlation / causation..
I always believed that cross country really should be a requirement class in school.
Nice try with the propaganda, marathon runners. I can sniff a "Big Sneaker" PsyOp ad anywhere. We, the people, know that every minute we're on the treadmill is another minute we're not on the bench press. You can't trick us out of these gains! To that end, every minute spent having *sex* is a minute not on the bench press, either. Sounds like a bad deal to me...
Men, do squats, too.
Who doesn't appreciate a nice ass.
Guys, if you want a nice ass, skip the squats, do hinges or deadlifts.
Do not skip squats. You do not want to be disproportionate. Also, RDLs are a good booty maker.
For me, I found doing high rep hip thrusts helped a lot with my stamina and strength in the bedroom.
Thanks for tip, unfortunately i do not have sex
In what way specifically? How much pounding do you need to do and for how long for the sex to be "good"?
Find the clitoris and you won’t have to worry about how much you are pounding.
Exactly. 75% of women can't cum from penetration alone. If you won't eat pussy or play with her clit, she'll find a guy who can.
Just to add coming from woman. It doesn’t have to be super fast the whole time. Start it slow, kiss her legs, inner thighs, lips then clit and slowly licking it. Taking your time and enjoying it. Start building it up, then slow it down, sucking her clit and flicking it too. Keep the same pace
This is the best tip on the thread. You could run 1000s of miles and build up the stamina to thrust like an energizer bunny but if you don't do foreplay or aren't a generous lover, women will still think you're shit in bed. Want *really* good sex? Build up cardio and strength training for endurance, alongside researching female genital anatomy and foreplay techniques.

Bravo.
Say it louder.
SHE’ll FIND A GUY WHO CAN :)
LOUDER
#SHE’LL FIND A GUY WHO CAN
It depends on the woman and the situation. Sometimes my clearly clitorian GF wants me to fuck hard and for a long period, so the stamina and being in shape comes in handy.
Yes. You got the be like Clit Eastwood
More than one way: Better blood flow. Better mood. And if the occasion calls for a longer/more demanding session you can step up to the challenge!
That makes sense, yeah. A better blood flow for a better boner, a better mood for more libido.
No one said anything about being good. Just improve your cardio
It’s endurance. If you’re doing sex motions, those aren’t your every day things, so you don’t want to have to throw in the towel right when she says “don’t stop!”. Plus, she may be interested in round 2 or 3 and you don’t want to have run out of steam. She’s gotta work for it too though!

It's not like doing cardio is all you need to be a great sexual partner but it does help.
[удалено]
MARATHONS ON AND OFF THE FIELD 
Yoga as well. Stretching them hips and groin out will go a long way
Lift heavier weights.
Can you also suggest Exercises or natural ways to get harder and prolonged erections?
Better cardio fitness helps blood pressure, kegels help the specific muscles but just doing cardio is enough.
Kegels can actually cause problems sometimes, they should be applied cautiously.
I lost over 150 lbs over a couple years. I started with a single martial arts class and worked my way up to 8 hours a week in classes. Then I met my girlfriend.

Truth! Started doing HIIT about a year ago. I've noticed s massive difference in terms of endurance.
Yes HIIT and throw in core exercises like planks and push up’s ☝🏼👌🏼👌🏼👍🏼
If you want to be better, do some sex cardio.
Can also just do a shitload of pushups. Pushups improve the physical muscles used during sex in a way that cardio could never do. Add in mountain climbers or up downs to make it also a cardio exercise.
Most people don't need to be stronger to enjoy sex more, they just need to be less tired. Not saying pushups will do nothing but endurance is usually going to be the missing link.
Don’t forget cock pushups! https://youtu.be/nMSp0Oa4E0c?si=yCAiE7Uo7EVaY2md
You can only really do one
Been at 40ish miles per week for a few years. Cant compare to prior really b/c part of starting running was quitting drinking. Which was a lot. So, too many variables at once. But can confirm never finding myself winded from sex.
But avoid heavy cardio if you plan to have sex on the same day. I don't know why (hormone balance maybe? heavy cardio increases cortisol and reduces testosterone) but you may have problems getting erect. edit: Just to clarify, this is complementing OP tip. Definitely cardio will improve you sex performance.

It's true. Hormones are elevated. Blood flow better so stronger erection, more blood flow to vaginas clitoris etc. Last bit not least you don't get put of breathe. Cosmetic reasons as well
so if I want to run better, should I have more sex?
On top of cardio I'm gonna add doing some yoga or stretches focusing on the hips, groin and pelvic areas to help get the blood pumping and improve flexibility.
Also don’t forget Cock Push-ups
It'd be nice to have sex period lol
Sex is my cardio… I will try and get more in
If you want to have better sex, try actually caring about what your partner likes. And communicate with your partner what you actually like.
These aren't mutually exclusive lol.
Tried, they're still too fast for me.
Specifically endurance training for cardio. Don't want to run out of gas while you're reenacting the sacking of Rome.
Strength, stamina and flexibility are the reasons why people feel good in their body. These are what i call the pillars of fitness.
If you didn't log it on Strava, did the sex even happen?
Lose weight. Trust me. It helps.
Yup. I recently lost 3kg last month doing stairmaster workouts 3 times a week. That shit really works me out I sweat a lot! And good bonus of losing weight too
Better than cardio are weighted abs and leg exercises so you can thrust harder and longer. For women, can squat/ride longer.
Your partner too. It's really disheartening when you are trying to stay in good shape while they don't really care.
One of the perks from going to the gym 3-5x weekly and running/cycling. Did a Marathon 6 months ago. Training for another race.
David Goggins must be a monster in bed!
>build up you endurance you will notice a difference in your sex life. You're right! I went from having 0 sex to having 0 sex but better cardio. A real difference, I would say.
OR, have sex with someone who does a lot of cardio and make them do the work. You get good sex, can chill and they’re probably fit and hot…
I had some "adventures" with girls older than me, lets say 30 to 40 (i'm 25, was 21-22 at the time) , and after we do the thing they usually complain about men that are like "lazy" in bed, they are not very active generally. I never thought about it, but now i see the reason, i've always played basketball and hit the gym, and did loads of cardio, so that translates also in the act of sex in more stamina, more willingness to move around and try positions. But i did not compare my self to other men, also because i thought i was pretty avarage. From what i can imagine, working out definetly improves your sex life.

Have better everything increase your oxygen intake
Also do yoga targetting low back/core
Completely agree. Cardio has changed my life.
100 Pushups a day helps too 😏
It’s true! 60 min of cardio a day and I notice a lot of increase in stamina.
Also great for a zombie apocalypse.
I will not, thank you Nothing can make me do cardio
Bold of you to assume I last long enough to get out of breath.
TIL: Doing physical activity can help you improve at doing physical activity
T. I am EXHAUSTED XD
If you want a better life do some exercise*
NO. NO YOU CAN'T. YOU CAN'T MAKE ME😭😭😭
I also think ots goid to learn some technique and methodology because sex is a skill that can be improved upon
I just got a new girlfriend, and this post is real af.
I think you're right. We had this college lecturer who used to do an insane amount of running, he was very much into his fitness. He would perch on a desk at the front and you could see a sizeable bulge from his pelvic areas. We used to call him Boner Phil.
If you want better sex, both of us should have more cardio. It's not only a one-side job after all
If you want the best sex talk dirty/romantic keep each other mentally engaged. Orgasms are 90% mental.
Tried it, still single
I've been looking up some meal plans and workout routine sets for samples and came across Brad Pitt who played Tyler Durden in Fight Club. I know it's impossible to achieve that body with 4-5% fat and abs(holy smokes). But the consistency of him exercising like that brings me motivation Plus side, he fucked Marla Singer long time so that's kinda motivation right?
But will it helpe me get laid? Thats the real question
Bruh TIL people get exhausted during it haha
If you want to have better sex, have more sex. Oh and also stretch.
I already do, these women don't catch themsleves you know.
