If you went through all the exercises listed, you saw the calorie burns they have--do you have a problem?0 -

You know there's really no need to be rude, I was simply asking a question and as far as looking up the exercises you have to put in x amount of time before it tells you how many calories you burn I just wanted to know if anyone can point out which one is the most effective and burns more that's all. But seeing as how a person can't ask a question without someone being rude I will figure it out on my own. I really thought this app was a place to encourage and help others in their weight loss journey, not to be rude to one another just because someone asked a question out of pure curiosity... thank you to the others for answering my question and not being rude about it.-1 -

OP--you, yourself said you had already gone through all the exercises listed. It is not rude to ask if someone is having a problem.0 -
Listing sex as exercise has been covered quite a bit on this forum. It's not really something someone should log as exercise. If you're simply curious about your estimated burn while having sex there are other places online that will calculate that but I'd take the result with a huge grain of salt.1

Fitday has it as an available exercise. It's not enough to be worth logging though.0

I'm not sure why that's being said. People of all shapes and sizes are having sex daily. If it was such good cardio and burned a bunch of calories, overweight and obese people would be in the minority. Getting 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity at least three days per week is the normal recommendation but it's better to take a walk, lift some weights, or do actual exercise of some kind.0 -

If her doctor said it was a good cardio exercise, he should know how many calories it burns.0 -
OP - these friends wouldn't happen to be guys would they? Lol p.s. I've actually hit the button on my fitbit to just satisfy my curiosity, my heart rate did go up but as it wasn't a marathon session, the burn was minimal. But hey, 30 or 40 calories burned counts so..might as well enjoy getting them2

Sex-accounted for as part of your daily activity level, not exercise
If you want to know how many calories you personally will burn doing something you can check it in the exercise database.
Fot the same amount of time- Standing still burns least, walking briskly or dancing burns more than that, running burns more than walking0 -
Man, it's been years since I've described sex as "good cardio" lol Even then it's not enough calories burned to bother logging it..0
