in Fitness and Exercise
Have you ever worn a heart rate monitor during S E x to see how many calories you burn? I mean unless you are doin some super crazy freaky stuff, can someone really burn alot of calories doing this "exercise?" i looked it up on a website someone else posted on here, and it said based on my weight for a 20 min session id burn 100 calories. Realist? like i mean, unless u are doing some major squats, or moving ur hips at a max speed, or major push up positions etcc i just dont think id burn 100 cals doing sex. what do u think?

    I've actually tested this quite thoroughly and I can tell you that I burn roughly 684 calories per hour doing you-know-what.

    So per session that equals approximately 13 calories.

    you're only allowed to say that after you consult your own studies and post how much you burn....

    so?

    so biased on my weight and the longer duration, that would be a lot more burned right? like 14

    I have worn a heart rate monitor before. :)

    Was about 100 calories for 18 minutes. I dont think you can extrapolate that for "per hour" cuz there is no way in hell that intensity is going for an hour. Sorry ladies. :)


    I also think it would be different for a guy then it would be a girl and would depend on positions utilized. I would say that most of the time the guy burns more.

    The number I go with is from Livestrong - 132 an hour for vigorous activity. If I work every muscle in my body for it, I'll log it.

    I have worked out to burn 100 calories and after sex I must say I feel way more tired and sweaty then when I worked 100cals at the gym so I think it is more.


    From another thread http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc this site says how much you burn counting time and your weight.

    If I get a heart rate monitor for Christmas, I'm planning to wear it during sex. Because I'm also curious. I say figure out an average calorie burn and log it if you're on top, lol.

    I'd say a lot of that depends whether you're the one doing most of the work or not. When I'm on top, I'm definitely doing a lot more work. I don't log it, though. ;)

    Haha!

    I feel like that's just extra and don't log. But everyone's different.
