i hope this isn't considered inappropriate, but i have a question. i know that when you put in your profile it does deduct cals for your everyday things. but what about **x?:blushing: doesn't it burn cals? do you count it or not. and what if you do more housework than normal or something? like now that it is spring like i aam into spring cleaning more and i will be digging and gardening soon. so how does that work?

    You can check out caloriesperhour.com they list everything - including sex :laugh: I personally don't add sex as exercise - just count that as a bonus! - but other things like gardening and lawn work, if it is outside of my ordinary routine and is any real length of time - not just 5 or 10 mins - I add it. A lot is already here but if it's not calories per hour is great! Have fun!!

    LOL

    I wondered that too. Housecleaning IS in there, although I don't count it in my calories unless I'm going some insane cleaning. Sex DOES burn calories...... I guess if you're having really insane sex you could put it under intense cardio... not sure :laugh:

    I never count sex, cleaning, walking at the mall, etc.

    If I count sex and all the other things that I do on a day to day basis, I'll become a calorie counting junkie. Before I hop in bed with my man I don't want to say, "hold on one second, I need to get my heart rate monitor." :blushing:

    Probably Carolbug - I believe it is listed that way on caloriesperhour.com though. You should check it out - that has such a huge list of activities and you input your height and weight, etc., so it is pretty accurate on the calculation!

    I guess they just list light, moderate or vigorous :laugh:

    I count sex... it's not an EVERYDAY activity for most... so it's "exercise"! Haha. :tongue:

    Type in Sexual Intercourse into Exercise... sex burns approx. 150 calories per 30 minutes.

    ok that's it, I'm switching my daily workouts to 1 hour of vigorous sex daily. lol :laugh: I'd burn just as many calories that way

    That's cool you asked...because actually, I did put that in the search box...and got the preverbially, "NOT FOUND." I was like...hmmmm....well, "I" found it...why can't this place? LOL! Just kidding. It does burn calories. I see that "cleaning" is on here...there's mild to moderate and then there's vigorous....maybe...depending on the kind of *** you had...you can classify it as "cleaning" instead...since it's here and really...I bet you work the same amount of calories.

    Don't be ashamed to ask...cuz if you're thinking it....more than likely someone else here has too...

    Very good question. Hope my answer helps. I haven't read what everyone else said...so sorry if this is a repeat.

    Cheers!

    OMG.....you guys are a hoot. Laughing at all of you!

    Someone said that they don't count walking in the mall, ***, or cleaning...I do...because everything counts. I'm not very active, so to me...anything gets counted.

    I've managed to loose 20 pounds, so I must be doing something right.

    :noway: :tongue: :laugh: :wink:

    Did anyone else hear about this within the past few days--that the typical length of sex was somewhere between 7 and 13 minutes (not including foreplay)? I'd love to read the article.:blushing:

    I wonder what counts as "vigorous"--are we talking swings and hangin from the ceiling???? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    thanks everyone! i'm still trying to understand how this whole thing works. the calorieperhour site is really helpful, it lists everything! although i'ma little disappointed,:frown: i really thought sex would burb more cals. it said for moderate in 30 mins was under 100 ( i forget the exact beacause i looked at a few things). and i'm not sure what vigerous is but i know it's not me!:happy: maybe it's the kind you have at the very beginning of the relationship, you know when it's romantic and not planned!:wink: anyway, i like to add all the cals i can, i guess it just makes me feel better!

    If you are counting your sex calories, remember different positions burn more...so if you're stuck on the bottom not doing much don't count it....

    I was just thinking, wouldn't calories be different based on gender? lol I mean I think generally the guys would burn a lot more......:blushing:

    I think I can attest to the fact that the calories burned are not enough to help you lose weight. My boyfriend and I are rabbits. at least once a day for over a year. And. I still gained almost 20lbs in that year. so. hmmmm.:explode:

    although, to be fair, i guess most of the time he does the majority of the work...

    whoever said that men should be able to claim more calories burned is probably correct.
