    I actually looked up the calories burned on another website based on my gender, weight, etc.and created it under My Exercises. I've had to do this for a few activities which aren't listed, i.e. Bikram Yoga.

    That's a great idea - it's true though. Foreplay and actual sex (depending on the specific actions) can burn a good strong amount of calories...maybe not "weight training", but like legit calorie burning. I'll have to do some research. Just thought it should be added on to the exercises

    Just list it as another cardio exercise:

    If you're on top - Calisthenics (pushups, sit-ups), vigorous effort

    If you're on bottom - Mild stretching or just don't bother

    If you're in different positions - Yoga or pilates

    For calories burned, I just take the number of yes screams from my wife and multiply it by 5.
