If you thought you’ve seen it all, this woman is here to prove you wrong. Holistic sex and relationship coach Kim Anami is not your regular athlete. When she works out, but she isn’t toning her stomach or her arms. She’s toning her vagina.

Yes, you read that right.

Vagina weightlifting, which 44-year-old Anami refers to as Vagina Kung Fu, could awaken many the sexual sensations that have been asleep for millions of woman. Anami can shoot ping-pong balls from her vagina, and she has made a living teaching other woman how to do the same.  "I want women to know what their vaginas can actually do," Anami told the Daily Mail. "My assertion is that the normal, healthy baseline for every woman is to be able to ping pong balls from her vagina. It's not just a skill set reserved for some special Thai vaginas."

While it's easy to take a humoristic approach to this subject, discussing private parts should never be a taboo subject. On the contrary, it should be discussed openly, especially in an educational environment.

Indeed, reducing Anami's work to a few tricks would be wrong. Anami has changed the life of millions of woman, teaching them how to  exercise their most intimate parts. She believes this practice can change the lives of all woman and claims it can even reduce wrinkles. “Botox users would stop using it," she says, "because their lines would be erased”. In an interview she said that every woman could “ejaculate from across the room” if she works out with her pelvic muscles.  

Conventional weightlifting isn’t for Anami. She made a reputation for herself with pictures of herself on Instagram, posing in exotic locations around the world, lifting weirder and heavier things, using the hashtag #ThingsIliftwithmyvagina. Ranging from exotic fruits to sports utensils, Anami shows the world just how strong her vagina is. She has a Twitter account, a YouTube channel, and she has given many interviews about her unusual exercise regime -- including this article in Cosmopolitan.

Anami isn’t the only vagina weightlifter out there. The Guinness world record holder is Russian Tatyana Kozhevnikova, lifting a 14 kilo kettlebell with the power of her Oolala. Self-proclaimed as the woman with the strongest vagina in the world, she still holds that title today. 

As ridiculous as this practice might seem, it’s important to know that vaginal weightlifting is in fact a legitimate and medically proven exercise. Anami discusses the sexual benefits it might procure, but according to the U.S National Library of Medicine “training the pelvic floor muscles is the most common treatment for Stress Urinary Incontinence, mostly common for woman post-pregnancy.

According to the British Medical Journal, only a quarter of the woman affected by this problem seek help and the “approximate annual cost of the condition in the United States was estimated at roughly $11 billion in the community and $5.2 billion in nursing homes”. Those numbers date back to the early 2000s, and naturally could have increased.

As Anami told the Daily Mail: "'Having a strong pelvic floor and vaginal muscles helps with everything from increasing libido, orgasmic potential and lubrication, eliminating incontinence, and preventing pelvic organ prolapse, especially after childbirth."
