- Exercise: A study at the University of British Columbia reports exercise makes a difference in how satisfied a woman is with her sex life -- just 20 minutes of exercise fired up the women participants' sexual response.
- Kegels: Are an excellent exercise for both Women and Men to strengthen the pelvic muscles and actually feel more comfortable while performing. To perform Kegels, pretend you're stopping the urine flow. Squeeze those muscles for about 10 seconds, rest for 10 seconds and repeat. If 10 seconds is too long, try three or five to begin with -- practicing a set of 10 Kegels three times a day will have your pelvic floor muscles in shape in about six to 12 weeks. And since no one can tell you're doing them, you can pretty much do Kegels whenever you feel like it -- while you're in the car, checking e-mail or even standing in line at the store.
- Sleep: A well rested body and mind benefits sex and, as it turns out, having sex can help you sleep.84 percent of postpartum women experience a sleep problem at least a few nights a week and about 72 percent wake up feeling unrefreshed.

Importantly yoga also helps to get you back in touch with yourself. It can ease anxiety and fatigue, dealing with these emotions is important for Mom and Dad to get back in the mood. The Upavista Konasana and Baddha Konasana are apparently famous for helping get couples back in shape for having some fun.
