One of Khloe Kardashian‘s favorite butt-boosting workout machines has been revealed to offer another, rather intimate, benefit: improving your sex life.
The DB Method Machine, a $229 at-home squat machine beloved by A-listers like Khloe, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Ayesha Curry, promises to ‘transform your body in just 10 minutes a day’ – however one user recently opened up about another dramatic transformation that she experienced as a result of working out with it.
‘So I have a perk that doesn’t involve the [butt],’ the anonymous woman wrote on the DB Method’s Facebook page. ‘All women pay attention! The machine works your pelvic floor, which is important.
‘Why? It keeps things tight if you get my drift. TMI but my boyfriend made the observation the other day that things felt different and it’s because my pelvic floor is stronger. Just letting y’all know.’
Who knew! A fitness trainer has revealed that a celebrity-loved at-home squat machine can help women to have better sex, while also toning their butts
Benefits: The DB Method Machine promises to ‘transform your body in just 10 minutes a day’, however fitness trainer Adam Swartz says it will also transform your sex life
Speaking to DailyMail.com, professional fitness trainer Adam Swartz explained how the DB Method machine improves your pelvic floor – and revealed how this in turn helps to give women a boost in the bedroom.
‘It’s all about the glutes and their relationship to the pelvic structure,’ he explained.
Toning: Adam explained to DailyMail.com that the DB Method Machine helps to tighten the pelvic floor muscles, which in turns leads to ‘greater states of arousal and sensitivity’
‘Weakness in the glutes can lead the sacrum (tailbone) to collapse into the pelvic bowl. When this happens the pelvic floor muscles become overly shortened and can no longer contract efficiently. In other words, they become weak because the structural space is no longer optimal.
‘The DB Method is designed to target the glutes. Not only do you gain the overall functional and aesthetic benefits of glute strength, you specifically help restore the optimal conditions for the pelvic floor.
‘This means the pelvic floor muscles can work much more effectively. Strong pelvic floor muscles are a huge factor in boosting one’s sex life.’
Although traditionally pelvic floor exercises are associated with women, Adam says that boosting these muscles can also offer a number of advantages for men, including a better sex life.
‘Healthy pelvic muscles mean better circulation, neurological connection and overall greater strength,’ he said.
‘For both men and women this means greater states of arousal and sensitivity. For men this can also mean lessening the chances of erectile disfunction or premature ejaculation.
Feedback: One woman who uses the squat machine revealed on Facebook that the workout tool helped to improve her sex life, joking that her boyfriend said ‘things felt different’
‘And women with stronger pelvic floors report much greater intensity of orgasm experiences.
‘Then put this in the larger context of all the other health benefits associated with working out and getting stronger, especially the positive effects on hormones and mood, and you begin to develop a big picture of a far more vibrant sex life.’
While he noted that traditional squats could ‘possibly’ lead to stronger pelvic muscles, he shared that the DB Method Machine’s design is particularly effective for focusing on this area of the body.
He explained that the design relieves pressure on the legs, which tend to take a lot of the strain of a traditional squat, and ‘shifts the work back into the hips’, which helps to better target the glutes, and the pelvic floor muscles.
‘It’s possible that doing traditional squats on your own could help, but the problem there is that squats are difficult to do properly without guidance, and will often end up becoming more quad-dominant,’ he said.
‘The DB Method helps you find the right alignment, engagement and movement so you can focus on the workout.’
To use the machine, it is advised to first adjust the seat level to match your height and proportion.
Next, while holding the handrails, arch your shoulder blades back while pushing your butt back and lower yourself down, as if you are sitting down on a chair.
Celebrity approved: Khloe Kardashian was one of the first A-listers to use the DB Method Machine, and she even praised it on her now-defunct blog back in January 2017
Sharing is caring: She has also posted about the workout machine on social media in the past
Booty booster: Khloe, who is famous for her curves, praised the machine as a ‘booty sculptor that you can easily fold up and store out of sight’
While squeezing the glutes at all times, lower and raise your body in ‘slow, controlled motions’ in a series of reps.
The machine was created by a woman named Erika Rayman, who says she created the machine ‘for women just like me’.
On the machine’s website, Erika added that she decided to create the machine as she was ‘tired and frustrated with doing boring exercises and never seeing results’.
She told DailyMail.com back in 2019: ‘The DB Method is a different exercise from squatting on a rack and is more aligned with a Pilates or barre workout.
‘With traditional squats the quads are the prime mover and most people are quad dominant. What’s great about The DB Method is that, unlike a weighted squat, you’re able to complete more reps, with your glutes as the prime mover.
‘This is our secret towards achieving a toned, tight, and lifted butt.’
The DB Method Machine first rose to prominence in the fitness world back in January 2017, when Khloe revealed that she had installed one in her home gym while writing about her workout set-up on her now-defunct blog.
In the post, she praised the machine as a ‘booty sculptor that you can easily fold up and store out of sight’.
Since then, the DB Method Machine has been touted by a host of other A-listers, including Khloe’s sisters Kim and Kylie, as well as Martha Stewart, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Ayesha Curry.
