    That's why you keep it classy and count in your head while checking your watch over their shoulder. Duh.

    Isn't there a fitness series "you are your own gym?"

    Same could apply here as well

    And if that doesn't do it for you, there's always shake weights.

    This is an urban myth. Sex wouldn't burn any more calories than something like light house cleaning.

    Is that six minutes a rep or a set? How many reps and sets? I never trust a man to do the measuring.

    Yeah, they always round up. A lot.

    MFP says I will burn 234 calories per hour for light cleaning.

    Hah I usually delete people who log sex and/or house cleaning, cooking etc from my friends list. They're usually accompanied by ridiculously high burns.
    Seriously who wants this on their newsfeed for everyone to see?? :confounded:

    I've seen

    "doing the deed"

    "rompy pompy"

    They must write it in manually and get the burn number from who knows where..

    Aha!

    Sometimes my burns look crazy high because the system lumps everything I did all day in together - for example, on Sunday I gardened twice, walked, and went to the gym.

    I hear ya. Sometimes fitbit gives me 1200 calorie burns, but this takes me like 10 hours to achieve!

    Who want to burn 600kcal with me this weekend, pm me!

    That's kinda creepy,

    I wouldn't call that creepy, but overly optimistic on several levels ;)

    Regretfully staring at yourself in the bathroom mirror afterwards for a moment, shaking your head slowly, and then putting your head in your hands for 10 seconds = 3 calories.

    I get ridiculous burns for kayaking (over 3k for a 6-6.5 hour trip). I am just very effective at sex and get a much less burn. just saying ...........

    Fat burning zone @juggernaut1974 ? :huh:

    :bigsmile:

    As for the thread I'm personally of the opinion that if sex isn't in your general activity level you're probably doing life wrong ;)
