If u offend easily pls don't read x

Nope I def wouldn't log, because it's somethin I would have done before I started dieting so, like cleaning, I wouldn't log it. Unless you're doing it while....jogging on the spot? I leave you with a strange mental image lol

I know gals that breastfeed add negative calories to compensate for what was expressed. Should the guys do that too, in this case?

I think you're onto something here. Both high in protein too.

But then does she need to add calories if...

nevermind.

ha ha ha,

I can hear it now... "But hun, I was just helping her burn off those calories from the work luncheon. That's all. I promise."

says, mines this big lmao

At what point do you draw the line?

Brushing teeth 10 calories
Tying shoes 5 calories
Shaving 5 calories
Shower 7 calories
Folding clothes 10 calories
Going downstairs to answer door 10 calories
Cleaning pool 40 calories
Scooping dog poo 5 calories
Throwing rocks at neighbors cat 10 calories
Chasing kids off my lawn 20 calories
Walking out to get morning paper 2 calories


etc....

:laugh:

If you can do it for a half hour straight with no break, then it's exercise. Of course telling your partner "come on honey, it's time for me to exercise and get my heart rate up" daily can ruin your sex life. It would get old after a week.

I think my husband would be all for it He wouldn't care what the reason.

Hahaha! I agree my hubby wouldn't mind what the reason was Espescially if it meant he got more!

I don't count my sex because I do it enough that it's just part of my daily activity. That, and "squeal like a pig" isn't exactly a high cardio burn.

Yet cleaning is classed? And the cal burn is fairly good. How do know if it's light or vigorous? Is it one of those u have fallen out with ur man and take out on the house cleaning it? So it's vigorous rather than just putting the Hoover round?

So log it as cleaning, or aerobics general.

Personally, posters who are saying it isn't exercise aren't thinking outside of their own experience. I burn plenty of calories leaping off the top of my wardrobe in a Batman costume - that latex makes you really hot.

sex does raise the heart rate but most conventional wisdom is that it's not LONG enough to classify as actual EXERCISE. IF you are having sex - for a half hour or more, I guess that's exercise but c'mon, get real. 5 mins of heart racing isn't exercise

Seriously? I masterbate longer than 20 minutes

Me too...5 minutes would even get me started! Men have NO idea, do they?! :laugh:

Again, if it was such wonderful aerobics, big women the world over would be fit.

It's just not.
Don't kid yourself.

We're not implying that it's "wonderful aerobics", we're just saying that we do a lot more work to get ourselves off than you men do.

I don't quite understand what you mean.
Explain.
In detail....:bigsmile:

OK, folks!
I am outta here, but thanks for the laughs.
Happy aerobics.....lol

Ok u guys who are getting on a regular basis all need to stop showing off and making us others jealous lol

I hear ya, girl... *sigh*

it might feel like your burning alot, However ive read so many articles about this, and the maximum is around 45 calories.

Speak for yourself sweet pea.

According to my Polar FT4, we're talking hundreds. However you don't earn those in five minutes, or even half an hour...

Hi Folks,

I've been asked to examine this thread and to possibly take some moderator action in response.

The guidelines do include the following item:

17. No Profane, Vulgar, or Sexually Explicit Language

No explicit, sexual, insulting or vulgar content including expletives, or sexual innuendo, will be permitted. Publicly visible text on MyFitnessPal should be work-place friendly.

We reserve the right to moderate a topic based on the intent of the sexual material it contains. Topics intended to titillate will be removed. Topics with medical or clinical themes related to sex or sexual health may be permitted, at our discretion.

It does seem to me that the vast majority of the posts are reasonably within the bounds of clinical discussion of the exercise merits of sex. We'll keep our eye on the thread, and if it swerves irrevocably into titillation territory, we reserve the right to take action accordingly.

I'm a little swamped this morning and did not review each individual post. If there are concerns about specific posts in the thread violating a guideline, please report those posts and we'll investigate.

In the future, a post like this is ideal for inclusion in a Group rated for "Mature" content. In such a setting, there would be no question as to the permissibility of such content. For now, it's exactly borderline, so I'm going to defer further action unless my attention is directed to posts that are clearly not about the initial, clinical question.

Steven
