Functional Fitness for Sexual Performance

Improving sexual performance can be achieved through functional fitness, which involves enhancing motor control and muscle strength. Engaging in functional activities, such as sex, allows for better motor control by practicing the very movements desired for performance. Increasing muscle size and strength through a comprehensive strength training program benefits overall physical capabilities, including those related to sexual activity. Importantly, the focus should be on foundational exercises rather than specific movements that mimic sexual positions, as general strength training sufficiently prepares the body for diverse activities.
