London 2012: Olympic-Inspired Sex Positions (PICTURES)

Ready, Steady, Oooh!

Are you feeling inspired to rev up your fitness regime in light of Olympic-mania but the thought of actually taking up running or synchronised swimming brings on a cold sweat?

Why not try an exercise that gets you hot and sweaty (in a good way), burns calories, keeps you fit and has the added bonus of an orgasm (or three)?

Olympic-inspired sex positions - will you try them tonight?

"The Olympic Games are almost here, with bubbling excitement and racing pulses we get geared up for the one of the biggest events Britain's ever seen," Annabelle Knight, expert for online sex toy retailer, Love Honey, told HuffPost Lifestyle.

"It's safe to say that most of us won't be burning off that excitement with a javelin or shot put, instead thousands of Britons will be turning down the lights and turning up the heat in the bedroom to burn off all that energy."

Aside from its obvious benefits (wink, wink), lovemaking can boost your overall health and ultimately make you happier, fit and more relaxed.

"Sex sessions with my man Mike keeps me fit," reveals fitness guru to the stars and founder of MakeOverEssex, Rachel Evans.

"I burn calories when on top, giving me a good cardio workout which engages my abs and thighs and arms before I orgasm, which releases endorphins and raises serotonin levels. It definitely keeps me calm, content and very happy."

"Sex keeps me fit. Unlike running, where I get bored quickly, having a sex marathon with my man keeps me happier, longer and mentally aware."

With the London 2012 Olympics in full swing, be inspired by the muscle flexing, sweat oozing and grunting from the Olympians by bringing the sports from the stadium into your bedroom.

From 'the skewered hurdler' to 'the bow and arrow', take a look at these Olympic-style sex positions by Emily Dubberley, sex expert and author of Acrobatic Sex Positions, out in December.

Ready, Steady, Oooh!
