Posted: 03/20/2012

A new study from Indiana University found that women can have an orgasm just by working out.

The study found that women experienced orgasms or some form of sexual pleasure when performing certain exercises. Exercises that used abdominal muscles, like weight lifting and yoga were most likely to cause this.

40% of women who'd had pleasurable experiences while exercising say it had happened on more than 10 occasions.
