    HRM gives a whole new meaning to strap on! Inappropriate? Sorry! that was funny! Im totally getting an HRM and strapping it on! Maybe even my sweat bands too! hahaha

    BoomBoom - You crack me up!!!

    My ex-boyfriend actually did wear his HRM once...he was a competitive cyclist and didn't need to lose an once so I admit I thought it was a bit ODD. But should I ever be so lucky to partake in this aerobic activity again :wink: I just might strap it on :wink:

    No reason you can't, just make a new entry like any other work out. But not sure how many calories is in one minute. *evil grin*

    I nearly fell out of my chair laughing! Not good since I am at work and SUPPOSED to be working. Thanks for the giggles!

    This is too funny! I never thought of counting the protein too!! I thought it counted as aerobics,general. Now I am going to see which gives me more credit,aerobic or calisthenics!
    Thanks for the laugh!

    Here is a website to calculate it...I burn 253 calories in 30 minutes!
    This must be a male thing...lol...my boyfriend is the one that found it.
    He thought I should know!

    I don't know about that ... I burn that much in 30 minutes of walking/jogging intervals on steep hills.

    No matter the position, I know for a fact I don't exert nearly that much energy with sex.

    Oh, this gave me such a chuckle. My husband and I had a conversation along those lines the other night. :)

    Haha, I am new to myfitnesspal and this is my first time on the message boards. This was the first one that I came across. I can tell that I'm going to love it already...too funny!! Well I know there are plenty of calories to burn while having sex, if only I was having some.

    Found a (tongue in cheek) listing of "Calories Burned During Sex". Cute, but not for kids

    Maybe all the singles should form a group to "exercise" together. Every city can have its own MFP FWB club...for health and calorie burning reasons only of course! ha

    I googled this earlier this week. Depends on your weight. For me I burn about 5 cals per min. Hell yeah I log it ;)

    I tend to log mine under dancing... :wink:

    Oh please tell me that's not what people are really doing every time I see "dancing" is my status feed! Lol. I hope that doesn't catch on, because sometimes I literally dance as exercise.

    OMG this trend is the best. I am dying over here. I thought this same thing a few months back but wouldnt log it as sex either.

    I just browsed the exercise database for the first time- I was wondering if that's what was meant by 'Calisthenics, home- light/moderate effort'. At least for missonary underneath perhaps?:wink:

    So why can't someone update the database to reflect Sex: Light, Moderate or um, Active versions?

    I think to be fair, if you count sex in your activities, you have to claim any extra protein in your food list....

    Wow you went there. Sick. Nice but Sick.

    What if I strap my HRM on and the damn thing starts beeping in the middle because I am not at my optimum heart rate level, I think my poor hubby would die :tongue:
