    If I did it when I was fat and it did not make me thin, I do not track now.

    Seeing as though if a girl is on top, on bottom or whatever, I like to do most of the work. I'd say on average me and my girlfriends sex lasts about an hour, so I would like to count that as a good amount of calories burned.

    Yeah, yeah - in your dreams!!! an hour!

    Is enjoying something for that long a problem? Maybe its just me, but I like to enjoy that moment for as long as I can.

    An hour of sex sounds enjoyable to me!

    Hahaha to the guy that went for it, how did you burn 100 less. I'm gonna go for your height or something :p I was at literally the limit though, I almost gave myself friction burns!

    If I could get a female workout partner, I think we could have fun in and out of the gym.

    I could use a male workout partner.

    Yeah, and when I throw out the condom I log that too. I mean, I do have to walk 10'.

    You're not supposed to count your daily routine seperately - you use your activity level for that :)

    Bigger, better, stronger more alive, going the distance and hunger for more... these go without saying; not rules for fitness... these are rules for living. xoxox :tongue:

    I figured I gained weight whilst having an active sex life so no point adding it.

    I don't log everyday activities. :blushing:

    I have always been curious of the same thing. I am wondering if the mood would be ruined if I wore my Heart Rate monitor with the chest stap during "relations" ......lol
    it would be interesting to see how many calories are burned!! :love:

    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: - Brings a whole new meaning to a 'strap on' LMAO!!!

    LMFAO

    I'd say yes only if I'm on top for majority of the time and really really working my abs ;)

    This topic has been beat to death! Who cares how many calories it burns! Do it for fun, not fitness!! I certainly don't think of my husband as a piece of exercise equipment.........

    I love the creativity here!

    Truthfully though, the level of calorie expenditure involved in sex is pretty low. It's just the wrong kind of elevated heart rate...

    Several other forum threads about this have come and gone and they all have debunked the myth. As much as we all want sex to be the holy grail of calorie burning, it's just not.

    No. It really isn't that many calories burned. It just seems like it should be. Going up and down stairs for 5 minutes would burn more calories than relations for 30 minutes unless you're working REALLY hard at those relations.

    hahaha I'm not the one who does most of the work most of the time anyway :wink:

    I figure "horse riding" is a good way to log it :)

    bahahaha!!!!! ok I'm officially going to start logging it as horse riding when I'm on top just for giggles ;)

    What are you guys doing to a horse? :smokin:

    I log mine only b/c it's not too often that I get to see my FWB - so it's not part of my normal routine...lol - but only if it's longer than 20 -30mins. :happy:

    I also have a workout name for it so that no one really knows what it is....I don't think people really care when I get some. :blushing:

    I actually did this once for a laugh when my wife bought it for me for christmas.. It beeps above a certain heart rate and we ended up laughing so hard at the beeps that we abandoned the whole exercise.

    If it lasts more than 15 minutes and I'm on top. ;D

    EDIT: I do have a little tact, I log it as general aerobics. :laugh:

    LMAO now we know if we look at the dairy lol

    I should imagine anyone recording their sexual activity would be like this:

    Husband's Exercise Diary
    Time: 150 minutes
    Calories burnt: 980

    Wife's Exercise Diary
    Time: 3 minutes
    Calories burnt: 3


    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: OK, I admit it that is exactly what mine would look line. Can't speak for the wife, hopefully she would humor me and copy mine :blushing:

    I DO track mine. At first i created it as "sexy time" then realised it showed in my timeline and changed it to walking lol.

    20 minutes of sex for someone my height / weight burns about 93 kcal. i aim for between 1-3 times per day, its a fun way to bump up your calorie allowance (pardon the pun) and keeps my fella happy :)

    Damn! I am sooo getting jipped on this! :sad: ^^^^^ My hat's off to the lady. You are a rare catch. :drinker:
