NEED YET ANOTHER REASON TO HIT THE GYM? WELL, TUNE IN AND DROP IT LIKE A SQUAT!
On this episode, fitpreneur Mack Pijewski joins Jye and Sara in the studio to deconstruct the link between sex and fitness, and the discussion spans neurochemicals, nutrition, mobility and more.
Find out if "coregasms" actually exist, why pelvic floor training is beneficial for both sexes, and whether sex has an impact on performance before a big sporting event.
Not to mention, look out for the 10min Better in Bed companion workout on YouTube designed specially by Mack, with specific exercises to improve physical fitness and sexual performance. Now you're only one workout away from getting better in bed - so get moving and get grooving!
