As always, make sure bdsm/kink play is safe, sane, and consensual. Never leave your sub alone during bdsm play. Prepare everything needed before restraining your sub so there’s no need to step away until after you’ve released him. When using rope or any tightly fitting cuffs, always periodically feel your sub’s hands/feet/balls (whatever is tied) to ensure they aren’t cold. Cold is a sign of circulation loss which needs to be addressed immediately by removing the restraints in that area before your sub gets hurt. Especially with forced workouts, make sure you have a pretty good idea of what your sub is capable of and his level of endurance BEFORE choosing this type of play for a session with him. Forced workouts are typically a bad idea for a first time session with any sub, much like benching for your first time ever, with 200 lb. on the bar. If using a treadmill, ALWAYS use the magnetic safety clip which stops the treadmill if it’s pulled out, and make sure the clip will be pulled out before anything else is pulled. ;) If your treadmill doesn’t have a safety clip or you don’t feel that you can take full responsibility for your sub’s safety, don’t use it with your sub.

Forced workout A:

1. Lay your sub on the floor facing up with leather cuffs (or loose but secure rope) around each of his wrists (optionally locked to a spreader bar).
2. Tie a rope around his balls with plenty of extra rope, then run that rope up over an anchor point and back down so the rope is hanging over his upper chest area.
3. Put a dumbbell in each of his hands and secure them to the cuffs or spreader bar using rope, bungee cords, or something that prevents him from setting them down on the floor.
4. Have your sub completely extend his arms with the dumbbells in them, then pull the hanging rope taut and tie it to his cuffed wrists or spreader bar. This will prevent him from putting the dumbbells down unless he lifts his ass off the floor and holds it up high. He won’t be able to rest his ass on the floor again until he gets those dumbbells back up there.

Alternative options:

1. If you want to make your sub do reps and not just hold his weighted arms up high or his ass off the floor, leave some slack in the rope before tying it to the cuffs/spreader bar, but not enough to allow him to set the weights down on the floor. Give him just enough slack to do his reps without having to lift his ass off the floor. If he wants to rest, he’ll need to lift his ass up high and hold it there while he “rests”, before starting his next set. You can keep him like this until he completes however many sets you decide to make him do.
2. Using a spreader bar locked between the cuffs, use some rope or carabiner clips to restrict his movement further by running them from a collar to the center eyehook on the spreader bar. Don’t allow enough slack between the collar and spreader bar for him to extend his arms all the way up and lock his elbows. This will intensify his workout quite a bit.

Forced workout B:

1. Cuff your sub’s hands using locking leather cuffs, or loose but secure rope.
2. Tie a rope around your sub’s balls, with plenty of extra rope.
3. Decide whether you want him sitting on a chair or standing for this one. You can use some quick release straps to secure his upper thighs to a chair if you want him sitting, to ensure he doesn’t cheat.
4. Run the rope from his balls (from behind him if standing, or maybe in front if he’s sitting, whatever works best) up over a high anchor point and back down to his cuffed wrists. Tie the rope off taut with his arms raised up as high as they can go, or with elbows able to bend a bit. Now put some dumbbells in his hands, and secure them to the cuffs using rope or bungee cords. Your sub won’t be able to lower his hands without pulling his balls up.

Alternative options:

1. Leave some slack in the rope before tying it off to the cuffs, then make you sub to a certain # of reps before he’s released. No breaks until he’s finished with his workout. If you want to give him a little extra “incentive”, how ticklish is your sub? His ribs are open season in this position. Either he takes the tickle torture, tries to protect his ribs and yanks his balls in the process, or he’ll quit being lazy and get back to his workout.
2. If you have a humbler, lock it on your sub’s balls behind his thighs so he can’t stand up straight. Then tie the rope in the same way, from balls, up over a high point, and down to his cuffed wrists holding the dumbbells. This will keep him squatting down a bit, working his quads overtime. Then make him crank out a required # of reps with those dumbbells before he gets a chair to sit on. If you need to motivate a lazy sub, this should definitely do the job! ;)

3. Use a rope lock tie down from his hands over the anchor point to his balls that lets your sub lower his hands (while pulling his balls up), but won’t slide back the other way. That way, the more he slacks, the price is permanent until you release him. (Balls can go up, but not down.)

Forced workout C:

1. Tie or cuff your sub’s hands behind his back, using leather/velcro cuffs (not metal cuffs for this one, as they could dig into his wrists).
2. Tie a rope around his balls.
3. Lay him on the floor facing up.
4. Use a rope lock tie down or ratchet strap hanging above him from a closet rod, top of door, etc., and hook the end that’s hanging low to the rope tied around his balls.

5. Crank his balls up to whatever height you want, providing it’s not too far for him to handle. Then kick back and enjoy the show as he tries to use his legs and abs to hold his balls up there. This one could also be used as punishment for slacking in his workouts, since it’s not a great position for reps. It’s more of an endurance/punishment position.

If you have a home gym, a treadmill, or similar gym equipment at home that allow for these, here’s a few ideas you can use.

Forced workout D:

1. Sit your sub on your home gym bench.
2. Use some quick release straps or other means to restrain his upper thighs down to the seat.
3. Tie a rope around his balls, leaving an extra loop in the rope.
4. Clip a bungee cord to the lat bar above him and let it hang down.
5. Have him pull the lat bar down, then clip the other end of the bungee cord to the rope tied around his balls so he can only let the lat bar up to a certain point, but not all the way.
6. Tell him how many reps you want before you’ll release his balls.

Forced workout E:

1. Sit your sub on your home gym bench.
2. Use some quick release straps or other means to restrain his upper thighs down to the seat.
3. Tie a rope around his balls, leaving an extra loop in the rope.
4. Clip a bungee cord to a short bar hanging above him and let it hang down (or a lat bar could work if that’s all you have).

5. Have him grab the bar and pull it down behind his neck, then clip the other end of the bungee cord to the rope tied around his balls so he can only let the bar up to a certain point, but not all the way.

6. Tell him how many crunches you want before you’ll release his balls.

Forced workout F:

1. Sit your sub on your home gym bench.
2. Use some quick release straps or other means to restrain his upper thighs down to the seat.
3. Optional: Tie a rope around his balls, and tie it to an anchor point on the bench to secure him to the bench until he’s done with his workout.
4. Using the butterfly press, you can tie or cuff his hands in place, then tell him how many reps you want out of him.

Forced workout G:

1. Stand your sub on your treadmill. You can have him naked, except his feet. Make sure he’s wearing shoes for this one as you want to make sure he doesn’t slip.
2. You can optionally cuff his hands behind his back.
3. Tie a rope around his balls, then tie the other end of the rope to the front of the treadmill, leaving plenty of slack to allow him to get to the back of the treadmill without his balls being tugged.
4. Take the treadmill safety clip and clip it to the rope tied around his balls, making sure the length of slack in the safety clip string is shorter than the length of the rope to his balls. The key here is you want the safety clip to be pulled out, stopping the treadmill, BEFORE the rope to his balls gets tugged. This still gives him plenty of incentive for his workout since he won’t even want to have his balls tugged, while still keeping things safe.

5. Turn the treadmill on a low speed. You can adjust the speed and incline as desired to keep your sub working without going too far.

Alternative options:

1. If your sub needs to be punished for being lazy, put some uncooked rice in his shoes, then put his shoes on his bare feet (no socks). This will make every step count in a punishing way and he’ll probably keep up with his workouts in the future to avoid this punishment.
2. If you don’t have uncooked rice, or as a harsher alternative, use coins instead.
