So, why isn't sex listed as an aerobic exercise on this site?!?! I know it burns calories. What are your thoughts on this?

    For most people it falls under their activity/lifestyle calculation, not workout cals. Besides, cals burned are lower than most people realize.

    I've used calesthenics in the past. Figured it has to be close to the same thing.

    Would you be having sex even if you were not trying to lose weight? ..so why count it as exercise?
