Sex does burn quite a few calories so shouldnt it be in the cardio exercise group? Im not trying to be imature just really wondering why its not included.

    I agree - I've been listing it under aerobics, hehe, for lack of a better category. I figure if I am serious about getting into shape/tracking my eating and exercise...why not include an activity that I not only enjoy but burns calories as well?!

    It would be great to know exactly how many calories are burned though - we're all grown-ups here, so I don't see why can't it be added to the cardio exercise list.

    wish i could just get it lmao. i think the owners of the ap dont want sex mentioned lol. so most people use a site and log it as whatevver. most people log it as arobics after using a calculator online to find out the burned calories. its not as much as u would think
