I think that I'm becoming obsessed with my HRM. Would I be over doing it if I wore my HRM during sex to capture those calories burned? I thought about it and thought maybe I would look kinda of goofy with this strap around my chest.

    Yes, that's overdoing it...unless you're only having sex with yourself.

    I actually wore it one time, and it lost signal with my watch. Didn't track the calories, but oh well. My wife laughed at me when I asked.

    I've thought about it, but I noticed before while doing pull ups that if it's less than a minute it doesn't keep it in the data files.

    I do wear it when cutting grass but the sex has me really intrigued as to how many calories I burn. It may become my new favorite calorie burner!

    Yes, and if your job is not a really active one it's quite pointless because they are designed to measure cardio and assume you are putting out a certain amount of effort. If you want to measure your TDEE with a device, get a BodyMedia Fit or bodybugg, or a FitBit or something similar. HRMs are for purposeful exercise (that can include yardwork and the like).

    :laugh:
    i'd wear it once just to get an idea and use that as the default. i dunno about wearing it everytime. that kind f kills the spontaneity, "hang on while i go wet my chest strap baby :wink: "

    Overdoing it? Yes. But it would still be interesting to try once, just to see how many calories do get burnt.
