    It's not excercise when she does all the work hahahaha.


    HA!!!!
    Funny how often this topic comes up!!

    I'm with the "it's part of your usual routine" opinion.

    I figure I cleaned and gardened and had sex before and didn't loose any weight, so I usually don't add in daily activities, only exercise. Of course there are exeptions, like digging a ditch in the garden or a super cleaning day, and I also wonder when I see "dancing, general" on someone's exercise log! :wink:

    Lots of discussion.... I agree with not wanting folks to know how often I'm doing the horizontal polka.
    And if you had multiple partners... what would your exercise log look like..... perhaps your friends would catch on to a lifestyle you may not want them to know. hahahahaha.

    With all that said, I do enjoy a long lasting session of this time of exercise.

    Wouldn't want people to know every time I hit the sheets with someone, Thirty minutes of sex burns 85 calories or more, depends on how active your participation is, just log it under something else...

    Honestly, I don't understand why someone would log cleaning as an exercise. Do they not routinely clean their home? Ewww!

    Not if I don't have to! lol I'm new at this, and sometimes I just want to eat the extra calories. However, I AM single, so therefore not too messy, but when I clean my tile floors, I mop them twice, and that is a LOT of work, and by gosh I'm gonna count it!

    Idk what you're talking seemichellerun, but when I clean or have sex it's an ACTIVITY :)
    LOL
    It's gusto baby....


    But isn't it something you routinely do, therefore part of your normal activity level? If not, then well... yeah, sorry to hear that. =P

    So people do do it routinely, LOL

    This thread cracked me up for 5 mins. Can I count a good laugh.

    Doesnt' really burn that many calories unless you're in like a 1 hour vigorous session.

    I read that having sex is equivalent to running up and down a flight of stairs or doing an aerobics session! ...but I get it depends on if the aerobic activity light, medium or vigorous! lol

    maybe because a lot of girls just lay there and make the guy do all the work? haha ;)

    Hahaha, ok, a tip, you can introduce your own exercise! yes, i did it with certain exercises, cause i was tired to put pushups instead of crunches! Of course you can call it, extreme streching or smth, and let your friends wonder, hahaha!

    Cleaning 2 hours burns tons of calories and you feel very tired after, i put this in my exercise routine and it even motivated me to vacum more often, lol!

    Anyway, i like you girl, you are very opened minded.:) I wished everybody was like that, sorry, yes i do refer to everybody who has partners and do it once a year! no wonder they dont need the sex option!

    Btw, 100 cals in 30 min is very good, i sweat 15 on treadmill and burn 100 and that with all the unpleasent sweat and muscle pain. At least you get to enjoy your exercise and it's good for you and your partner and brings you both closer.
