    No. Jeez, this is almost as bad as people who log 'cooking preperation'

    The whole purpose of logging exercise is to feed your body enough food for it to run. If you need the 'excuse' to eat more food, just up your bloody limits. Or if you find you're hungry, EAT. It won't kill you to go over your calories.

    Now hold on there, I was going to bribe my wife with an extra snack!

    Aerobics - Low Impact - 3 minutes :love:

    3 mintues?! Low impact?!

    Well I get sweaty and out of breath...and if you do some more...difficult positions, you definately work out your inner core! Try reverse cowboy! Oh and definately try for longer than 3 minutes...

    You'll have to come round and show me how :love:

    I don't see why people on here are getting SO upset over this! =| Having sex burns calories. Your heart rate increases a bit when ya do it.. it can also work muscles depending on what exactly it is your doing.. Sex is good for your body and for your mental health, for both you and your partner. If you have a sedentary lifestyle.. but go all out in the bedroom then I don't really see a problem logging it.
    I'd keep it as a little bonus honestly.. I don't usually count stuff like cleaning, cooking.. I just don't see why. That kind of stuff is part of your lifestyle setting. If you clean a lot and do 'other' things a lot.. and you feel more tired and hungry more often you should adjust your settings.

    Unlogged bonus. Unless you're swinging from the rafters. And really, setting the connection between calorie counting, food intake, and sex is just unappealing. Are you really having sex only to increase your calorie deficit or so you can eat more? Takes all the fun out of sex, IMHO.

    Unless you mix the food and the sex together :drinker:

    It has to be in my best interests if my wife sees that sex burns 2000 calories an hour

    So if you could all perpetuate please....

    I never log it but it is definitely a workout. The bf jokes that he will help me with my cardio anytime I want to :laugh:

    Hahahahaha! My man says the same thing. He wondered why I spent money on a gym membership when all I have to do is call him to get a workout in! :blushing:

    But, to answer OP question - no, I don't log it. I'm one of those people who only logs the exercise that I specifically do for the purpose of exercise.

    No it's not. I mean, come on, are you only doing it to burn calories?

    Some people on here seem to clean more than they need to as well. Just Sayin'

    My diary reveals that I pretty much only clean once every six months.

    No, you cannot come over. :tongue:

    You had sex before, you have sex now. Only log new activities. I'd only log it if I were celibate before starting weight loss program, or if you only get it in once in a blue moon. I'm married so......
