Why isn't sex availiable to choose from in the exercise check-in?! I mean, COME ON!
Am I the only one that that thinks, "Oh this is an awesome burn right here! "during sex?
Hmmm....

    This could be why, seems like you need at least 1/2 hour to burn a decent amount. Doesn't give totals for 5 mins or less...... :sad:

    well if you do a little math you will find on average you burn about 150 calories in 30 minutes of active sex wouldnt that make it about 5 calories a minute which then would be about 15 calories in 5 minutes?

    push yourself to go a little longer :D

    I see it like this

    It makes you sweat, you can feel the fatigue, you breath heavy, and your heart is pumping to me that is a workout lol... bump that if my heart rate goes up and I sweat then I'm burning calories which means im logging it !!! lol
