    Wear a HRM
    Click "create a new exercise"
    Description: Sex
    Enter how long
    Enter calories burned

    BAM

    It would take me longer to do that, than the actual sex.

    I just log it as 7 seconds of intense cardio.

    Overachiever.

    Just walked into this thread and spit my water out.

    Honey, if you're thinking about how to log your sex as a workout, you're doing it wrong.

    I say it's like cleaning your house (although there is an option for that). You're burning calories, sure, but you also burn calories sitting at your desk at work. It's just not a substantial amount of calories unless you're going at it for a really long time at a really intense level. And if they did include it as an exercise option, wouldn't they have to differentiate between positions? I mean, some burn next to no calories while some may burn a lot (I guess I don't do those positions). There's too much variation to have an accurate measurement of caloric burn.

    You can always use an online calculator that estimates how many calories you burnt. Then you can just add it to your diary and you'll be able to use that from then on. I've done that with a couple things because MFP didn't have an option for it.


    I have also done this before. lol

    I'm not sure what the hell you all do during sex, but I wear my Bodymedia during, and our sessions last upwards of 30minutes.

    Hell, half the time my only "Vigorous" activity according to the bodymedia is sex! Even though I ran 3 miles and lifted weights for an hour.

    We burn 200+ calories for every 30 minutes, and thats when being fairly low key.

    OMG, people, it's "Walking dog, 2.5 mph". :grumble:

    I have NEVER, EVER thought of logging that. But this suggestion is hilarious!!! Thanks for making my day! :laugh:
