Ok, I was thinking....You know...you can burn A LOT of calories by gettin' it on...and by that I mean sex.
So, I thought..."I'm going to see if it is listed under cardiovascular in the exercise log". Can you believe it?...Its not listed!!! :laugh:
Too bad.....I think if it was, more people would jump on the calorie burning wagon and it would do tons for improving motivation and lifting one's spirit here on MFP...
Am I alone here? What do you think....? :bigsmile:

    I totally agree!!! I lost about 7 or 8lbs 3 months before my fiance was deployed, and then when we weren't able to see each other for a month and now with his deployment, i have to WORK at losing weight. :grumble:

    it SHOULD be added.. cause once he returns from Afghan, I'll probably lose another 10lbs!

    oh oh btw, just googled the question, and found these links which I thought was helpful :drinker:

    I need to tell my husband that I am going to add it to my cardio routine (five to seven days a week) I think he will be thrilled! :laugh: :laugh:

    That was one of the first cardio exercises I looked for. It should definetly be listed, but I think it will be hard to gauge the calories burned without an HRM involved.

    hehe I've told the bf that we need to keep at it until I'm skinny. :embarassed: He just gave me a funny look.

    Although I wouldn't log it.... would just keep a mental note and be that much more happier when the scale is nicer :laugh:

    Yeah if your keeping track of the exact time it may just prove to be depressing :grumble:
