Exercise Options......

WHY IS SEX NOT INCLUDED IN THE EXERCISE OPTIONS ?

Sex is a cardiovascular exercise if you have an energetic session.

I have regular sex & I think it should be included in the exercise options but I have no idea how many calories sex can burn.

Anyone have any idea?

Also, why not just use it as a bonus? I've also heard the analogy, "I did it when I was overweight, so why count it now?" in reference daily activity type things, and I think that sort of applies here as well.

The LoseIt database has it, even degrees of kissing, like "vigorous". lol

Thanks for your suggestion.
I can see your point......still think its a good exercise option to see what calories it can burn off.

I just checked out that link you gave......interesting reading but disappointing not to use sex as an exercise option as it really depends on whether it can dramatically increase your heart rate for any length of time & I guess it's probably not long enough to include it as exercise.

Thanks x

I didn't realise there were so many different Diet/Fitness support sites.

It made me smile when you said it includes kissing.....especially when it has 'vigorous'
I can't recall any of my sessions that included vigorous kissing....although I do love to kiss :-)

I think sex is gonna have to be excluded from my exercise list.
