When it comes to the between-the-sheets tango, there's only one way to do it: with a fit person. Aside from the obvious benefits of getting down with a healthy, active partner (those abs! That booty!), there are some less obvious perks to sexing up your swole-mate. Here are 16 reasons why fit people are just plain better in bed.

They know all about reps, so round two is no problem.
They're flexible, which is ALWAYS a bonus in bed.
Long sessions at the gym are basically just endurance training for sexy times.
They're nice to look at.
You won't be stuck in missionary every time — stamina means mixing things up!
If they can run 26.2 miles without stopping, just think of the possibilities in the bedroom.
They know how tough it is to maintain a hot bod, so they'll appreciate yours even more.
They're competitive, which can lead to some very sexy bedtime games.
They're seriously strong, which means fun stuff like shower sex.
Toned muscles = scientifically better orgasms. Seriously.
They've got no problem being sweaty . . .
Instead of ordering pizza to satisfy break-time munchies, they'll have healthy food on hand.
You'll never get stuck doing all the work.
Looking good increases self-esteem, which means confidence during in-your-pants parties.
They won't let you sleep through your workout the morning after.
They're used to encouraging fellow gym-goers, so they'll definitely be vocal when you do your thing.
