    If i am on top i log it as "tabata squats, high intensity". If i am not on top, I log it as yoga or stretching, depending what position my legs are in.
    Hope this helps.

    i hate to break it to you but sex doesnt really provide much of a work out or burn many calories.
    Orly? Why is it in the MFP database then?

    ... The fact that it's in the database doesn't mean that's it's anywhere NEAR accurate. I love MFP, but its exercise database sucks balls.

    I always skip the gym after sex. It's a serious problem. I missed two workout sessions last year alone!

    Well certainly if it lasts two hours that is a different story....in fact you might not have time to go to the gym if that was the case.

    What is this "sex" you speak of?

    This.

    I can teach you, but I'd have to charge.

    Nice milkshake!

    MINE!

    I think "sucks balls" is in there. Somewhere near "protein shot"

    You're welcome.

    You're doing it wrong.

    OP I agree with the HRM. But HRM is ONLY accurate for long slow duration cardio.

    So what you should indeed be doing is setting up a nice rhythmic pace and holding steady at that for the duration of the exercise. You can practice plank thrusts, hip thrusts or other such exercises to maximise the intensity. Don't listen to people that tell you you don't get a huge calorie burn while having intercourse. The clearly just like to lie there and have someone else do the work.

    Does this not look like a workout to you?

    Oh this is great! Thanks, I will definitely be making notes next time so I can log more accurately.

    Fact.

    +1. And I don't know about women but man... I burn tons of calories. If you are not a lousy guy, there is no way that sex doesn't count.

    Having said that, I consider it a bonus workout.

    that will never burn as many calories as full intercourse.
