I don't want to offend anyone... but why is "sex" not an option under fitness. I was told you can easily burn 200 calories... I would add it, but maybe someone knows why it's not an option?!? Or do you think it should be an option?!? :ohwell:

    check it out on caloriesperhour.com

    Then you can create your own category to add it as exercise. I found that unless it is the really super hanging from the chandeliers kind of sex, it doesn't burn as much as I had hoped! In other words, I still had to get up and work out this a.m. :ohwell:

    thanks for that MontanaGirl!! I was thinking it burned 200 calories baseline, and then when I'm on top (or we're swinging from th chandelears) we're easily burning 500 calories!!! :laugh:
    Oh well!! Thanks!

    How about logging it under "low impact aerobics" for the regular kind, and high impact for the "swinging from the chndeliers" kind? :laugh:

    Probably because its intent isn't physical fitness. Therefore, it isn't exercise - instead, it is considered physical activity, which is always encouraged, of course.

    Yes certain positions are very much a workout however you would have to do the humpy dance for a long time to burn 200 calories-- I heard its just like 50 calories burned- but I wouldn't list it if its part of your everyday activity-- I would only list it if you don't get any on a regular basis--
