    Mark it down as CALISTHENICS (SIT-UPS, PUSH-UPS). Yes, it IS a fat burner~~~big time. If you want more accurate calculations, you would need a top quality HRM watch or buy the BodyMedia device.

    eh, why bother? I figure it (like my weekly grocery trip) is calculated in my "life-style" selection :smile:

    Not enough calories burned to even count.

    Must be having some pretty lame sessions! hahaha

    Not really, I have 5 kids to prove that theory wrong LOL. Just saying to use it as a buffer instead of exercise calories.

    kissing alone is 15 calories. I was told a "normal" "session" was approx. 230 calories burned so I've been hoping that's accurate! :laugh: If anyone finds a actual answer and the source to prove it - please post it!:love:

    I don't log in calories for things that really aren't exercise, but part of daily life. I don't log in housework, gardening, chasing the kids around, or sex. And I'm sure that chasing the kids around burns WAY more cal. than any "activity" you could think of. But the only way I'd know for sure is to wear a HRM, b/c there is too much variation in any of these activities to accurately guess. I just consider those things "extra freebie burns".

    Now, when I'm at the gym, sweating my butt off, feeling like I can't do one more rep, or another mile - THAT to me is exercise, and that gets logged.

    Exactly what I was trying to say :wink:

    I was wondering if sex is considered a good exercise and how many calories do you burn?
    I mean, that would be a lot better than running on a treadmill!

    you could try wearing a heart rate monitor and see what it says. ;-)

    Re: wearing heart monitors....If any of you ladies (single) want to try, I'll gladly join in on the experiment. For the sake of science, of course. :smokin:

    The way I'm thinking is that I had plenty of sex in my fat life, and it didn't seem to help. I'm trying to only log the things that I do now that I didn't do then. New life :smile:

    I usually burn around 200 calories in an hour, but that involves having to chase her around the house up and down stairs for 58 minutes.:tongue::blushing:
