Not that I am actually HAVING sex... I’d just like to know how many calories are burned in 30 min increments. -Wendy

    I just figure it's part of my daily activities. Like cooking, cleaning, etc. (Although it's a lot more fun than cooking and cleaning.)

    Sex can be compared with other common daily activities in terms of metabolic equivalents (METs); equivalent to light housework (2-4 METs), light gardening (3-5 METs) or walking a mile in approximately 20 minutes, level ground (3-4 METs).

    I did not look at the calories burned, I look at this as NEAT (non exercise activity)

    Like HIIT, sex doesn't really make sense in 30 minute increments.

    Ha! So, you - or your significant other - are a fan of the quickie? LOL! Gotta love a good quickie here and now.
