Some Americans Schedule Whoopie As Their Workout

Working out to stay healthy and fit isn’t easy.

A new survey from Zing Coach of 2-thousand U.S. adults asks about their exercise - or sexercise - routines and how it affects their sex lives and finds: 5% of those polled schedule sex toward their daily exercise goal and another 5% cancel their workout if they have had sex in the last 24 hours.

• Not having good stamina or flexibility is a major turn-off for a lot of people, as 56% admit they’ve dumped, or considered dumping, a partner over bad sexual performance.
• For better sexual stamina, 21% do cardio and about a third (30%) do lower body workouts, planks or Kegels.
• To improve flexibility in bed, 40% do stretching exercises and 17% do yoga or pilates.
• Regular workouts not only improve performance, 52% say it increases their sex drive.
• Sex itself burns calories, as well as strengthening muscles, reducing stress, and improving sleep.
• Sex helps men burn an average of 4.2 calories per minute and women 3.1 calories per minute.
