Jason Sudeikis is all about having a sexy workout plan.

The comedian has lost a considerable amount of weight in recent months, and according to his interview with Elle for their August 2013 issue, he has fiancée Olivia Wilde (and their strong sex drive) to thank for that.

"The truth is, I'm not getting up an hour earlier and walking on a treadmill. I have the greatest workout partner in the world. And you don't need a gym membership for that kind of workout," he told the mag.

Bow chicka bow wow.

This may not come as a huge shock to some.

You may remember that last October, Wilde revealed that she and her beau "have sex like Kenyan marathon runners," then later said the sex comments were "performance art" (however, Jason told Elle the sexual statement was "accurate").

But it's not just participating in the no-pants dance (or ditching the barbecue sauce on late-night pizza, which he also mentioned) that Sudeikis credits for his healthier lifestyle.

He told Modern Luxury Manhattan magazine recently that, "Being happy, and in love, for me, was the secret. I feel like I returned home to myself as an individual through the process of falling in love with the sweetest woman I've ever known." Awww!

His sweet romantic side showed during the Elle interview also.

When asked if he'd like to tell a story to restore his masculinity (after Wilde went on TV and shared an embarrassing tale of the funnyman falling out of a kayak and getting rescued by fishermen in Jamaica), he said, "I mean, what better story than meeting the girl of your dreams, sweeping her off her feet, and then being strong enough to carry her out? That's my story."

And a damn good one.
