That seems to be the only other physical workout I get beside being in my garden and chasing my lil ones. IDK what do you think agree or disagree and why?

    Of course, it must, if "playing piano" counts. But it's already factored into my activity level so no need to log.

    If it did I would have lost weight without trying...been married for just over 5 years...with him for 6 and well...he doesn't stop. So no it doesn't.

    I'd say a good rule of thumb is any day to day activity you did when you were overweight shouldn't be logged as excercise calories.

    I still cycled to work, mowed the lawn and got laid whist fat, so I don't log them now.

    Sure but how many calories can you burn in 30 seconds?

    You could always try wearing a pedometer or one of those fitbit type things while you're doing the deed. See what it says. Personally, I don't think it counts, but I guess that depends on how... vigorous you are?! xD

    You can actually use MapMyRun to time it and it will give you a guestimate of how many calories you burn. It's listed under Intimacy. Don't worry when it syncs to MFP it just shows up as general aerobics lol.

    oh boy. here we go...
    is this a serious question?
    do you log everytime you walk up and down the stairs? to the bathroom? to the kitchen? what about shopping? reaching into the cabinet?
    if you answered yes to any of the above, sure. log it.

    No. Is it an activity? Yes. So is going to the market. Do you log going to the market? Are both of those part of your N.E.A.T. sure. Do you log them? Not really.
