But sex isn't! How come?

Sometimes i spend just as much time upstairs as i do in the kitchen and certainly break more of a sweat!

Perhaps i should log it as more belly-dancing!

    wait... thats the code? haha I put it down as horse back riding... although I dont generally log it, I feel its part of day to day life.. which is why I dont log walking while I'm doing my food shopping, or cleaning (unless its that once in a while sort of clean like the garage) or doing the grout clean or something

    I thought I was meant to log it as dancing. Wrong again!

    Ryan, you make a great point. I burn more calories during sex than cooking (or at least that's what my hrm says ;) ) lol

    I don't think it's speaking of the "everyday" dinner cooking - like a marathon Thanksgiving cooking..

    For some people, cooking is no big deal and they wouldn't dream of logging as exercise. For some, it is a big change from their usual level of movement or it is difficult to stand that long, and for them it represents an unusual amount of effort expended.

    I log sex as walking. Secret's out!

    Some people will log every single thing they do as exercise (which is sort of self-defeating in the long run)- driving, walking (in the parking lot, etc), showering. I think it should only be logged if it get's your heart rate into the cardio zone and holds it there. Cooking doesn't do this...sex does. That being said...I've wondered for a long time why that isn't in the database...maybe because there are forms of sex that burn way more calories than others... Fifty Shades of Grey vs. Trying to stay quiet while the kids are sleeping in the next bed in the hotel room.

    I log the cooking marathons I do during the winter. 4 pots of soup, a roast and a batch of cookies and I'm WIPED. I do not log the 20 minutes or so I do every evening when I'm helping my husband put dinner together.

    Come on Ruby, we know you don't really have a horse.

    plus, who would go all the way to the stables just to ride a horse for 2 minutes? :happy:
