    No. Jeez, this is almost as bad as people who log 'cooking preperation'

    The whole purpose of logging exercise is to feed your body enough food for it to run. If you need the 'excuse' to eat more food, just up your bloody limits. Or if you find you're hungry, EAT. It won't kill you to go over your calories.



    OMG people actually post "cookig prep"? :)

    This, though....this. No. I mean--to answer the question: "Yes". But no.

    Aerobics - Low Impact - 3 minutes :love:

    3 mintues?! Low impact?!

    Well I get sweaty and out of breath...and if you do some more...difficult positions, you definately work out your inner core! Try reverse cowboy! Oh and definately try for longer than 3 minutes...

    Ha!! Agreed!!!

    I never log it but it is definitely a workout. The bf jokes that he will help me with my cardio anytime I want to :laugh:

    Hahahahaha! My man says the same thing. He wondered why I spent money on a gym membership when all I have to do is call him to get a workout in! :blushing:

    But, to answer OP question - no, I don't log it. I'm one of those people who only logs the exercise that I specifically do for the purpose of exercise.

    No it's not. I mean, come on, are you only doing it to burn calories?

    Some people on here seem to clean more than they need to as well. Just Sayin'

    My diary reveals that I pretty much only clean once every six months.

    No, you cannot come over. :tongue:

    You had sex before, you have sex now. Only log new activities. I'd only log it if I were celibate before starting weight loss program, or if you only get it in once in a blue moon. I'm married so......

    if you're THAT worried about the in and out (calories, people!!), a little post-coital chocolate should sort it! No logging, that's just weird!

    I'm not sure about that??? I play football for fun but surely you would log that even though that it isn't for the purpose of exercise??

    I consider it to be a workout. I sweat just as much as my workout, no matter how little or how much. Just like I log my food, I log every little bit that goes in my body and I log every little thing i do. Some people like to keep complete track of what they do, what they eat and etc.

    Can I log 30 minutes on the pot trying to pinch out a loaf while I’m constipated as an ab workout?
  • Loving that someone asked this! Also loving that people have got so riled up about it!
    I say log what you like, only you know what you've done and how it affected you :bigsmile: Far as Im concerned you can only benefit by logging any exxxtra effort :blushing:
    Also, for those people who dont think you get any exercise benefits...you're doing it wrong! Come on people put your backs into it!
    I say stay away from the chocolate body paint and and you'll feel the benefits.
    Although, Im a larger lass so what do I know?? Id be tempted to log food prep calories as well...I get out of breath grating cheese :noway:
    Happy...ummm...bouncing people

    Sex does not burn that many calories
    Consider it a bonus I guess. You would be only cheating yourself trying to count it

    Im sorry but i will have to respectully disagree, here is my findings on the subject

    Positions
    Man on top, woman on bottom (facing each other) 20 calories
    Woman on top, man on bottom
    (Many women find that in addition to its inherent sexual possibilities, this position affords a better view of the clock.) 25 calories
    From the rear (Mysterious variation) 40 1/2 calories
    Standing: Both partners of equal height 18 calories
    Standing: Woman 1 foot taller than a man 90 calories
    While in traction
    (very useful during ski season) 124 calories

    Locations
    On a bar stool 20 calories
    Rear of a Honda Civic 38 calories
    In a phone booth, standing 14 calories
    In a phone booth, lying down 274 calories
    On an airliner, aisle seat 24 calories
    On an airliner, middle seat 42 calories
    On an airliner, window seat 30 calories
    On an airliner, in the lavatory 100 calories

    Possible Side Effects of Intercourse
    Bouncing 7 calories
    Sliding around 9 calories
    Serious Skidding 12 calories
    Full cartwheel 20 calories
    Whiplash 27 calories
    Knee burn 6 calories
    Chafed elbows 5 calories
    Chafed nose 11 calories

    Sex Related Noises
    Short gasps (per gasp) 3 calories

    Squeals 4 calories
    Ecstatic moaning 11 calories
    Low growling 8 calories
    Squishing 10 calories
    Shouting 16 calories
    Screaming 18 calories
    Urgent begging 22 calories
    Any short speech giving partner directions
    ("Please don't stop," "Faster," "Just a little more" are common examples.) 25 calories

    Approaching Orgasm
    Letting go 5.5 calories
    Controlling yourself 79 calories
    Digging nails into your partner's back 11 calories
    Trembling 15 calories
    Shaking 20 calories
    Shuddering 25 calories
    Trying to keep eyes open 33 calories

    Orgasm
    Real 27 calories
    Faked 160 calories

    Orgasmic Intensity Scale
    Expression didn't change 1/2 calorie

    You began moaning in Latin 60 calories

    Pulling Out
    After orgasm 1/4 calorie
    A few moments before orgasm 500 calories

    Multiple Orgasms
    For women:
    2 14 calories
    5 30 calories
    8 47 calories
    (Depending on greed her rate of recovery a woman can enjoy around 8 orgasms within an hour period without losing consciousness or disarranging her hair. As the number increases, however, she may begin to experience a form of "reduced sanity" that will temporarily interfere with her ability to cook, worship ,and ride a Moped.)
    For Men:
    2 21 calories
    3 39 calories
    4 57 calories
    (For a man, its a different situation, perhaps due to physiological and biological reasons. Many men can enjoy up to 4 orgasms in an hour with little discomfort except for the slight ringing in the ears. With few exceptions, however, a man who tries to achieve more than 10 orgasms within that same period is flirting with irreversible brain damage.)

    Special Orgasms
    Clitoral. 15 calories
    Vaginal 21 calories
    Penile 21 calories
    Scrotile 15 calories
    Rectal 25 calories
    Oral
    (can also occur during an especially good meal) 30 calories

    Premature Ejaculation*
    During insertion 2 calories
    During intercourse
    (Approximately. 2 sec's or 3 thrusts after insertion, whichever comes first.) 5 calories
    During foreplay 3 calories
    Immature ejaculation
    (Similar to premature ejaculation except male acts childish and throws a tantrum.) 4 calories

    Consequences of Premature Ejaculation
    Even if you have a good heart, it takes much understanding not to feel like a victim when your partner climaxes after 3 sec's of intensive sex, especially if he immediately sits up to watch the football on tv.

    For Women
    Frustration 8 calories
    Anger 15 calories
    Violent mood swing 20 calories
    Surpressing rage 25 calories
    Not surpressing anger
    (In extreme cases, this can include cursing, nose tweaks, and gently massaging partner's head with a tire iron.) 65 calories
    For Men:
    Cursing 10 calories
    Apologising 3 calories
    Snivelling 5 calories
    Pleading for mercy 8 calories
    Begging for another chance
    (Note how unfair: Men never seem to mind if a woman has an orgasm after 3 seconds of sex.) 15 calories

    Possible Side Effects of Good Sex
    The first indication that sex was a positive experience will be a buzzing in the pelvic area and a clear complexion. You might also feel pleasantly light, as though you were dozing in a vat of cream cheese. If sex was really terrific, you feel dangerously drained, as though your body had been connected to a large milking machine for several days. Additional reactions include:

    Swooning 6 calories

    Recovering

    Regaining motor control of pevis
    (After especially tiring sex, you may feel numb from below the waist to the opposite wall. The result will be an inability to walk [put one foot in front of the other], which will seriously impair your chances of going to the bathroom or getting some juice.) 7 calories
    Standing up 9 calories
    Getting some juice 11 calories

    Rolling Over and Going to Sleep
    After intercourse
    (Classic behavior for shiftiness men who believe they've done their job and are now entilted to a rest. This "rest" may include snoring.) 18 calories
    During intercourse
    (Women find this to be a subtle, yet direct way of suggesting dissatisfaction.) 32 calories
    During foreplay
    (Indicates either an advance case of fatigue or a serious lack of interest.) 12 calories
    Avoiding the wet spot 80 calories

    Trying Again
    If the woman is ready 5 calories
    If the man is not 156 calories

    I dunno, we have 4 kids so each time it's generally a pretty good workout. 4 times getting up to crack open the door to tell them to stop knocking on the door. 3 times to get dressed to go and see what one of them is crying about, 2 times getting dressed to go see what that huge thud downstairs was; and a few times finding ear plugs because hearing "Dad, Dad, Dad, Mommm, Mooommmm" really throws you off your game.

    Being divorced and not having a boyfriend :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: it will definately be a workout the first few times I get lucky again.:blushing: But I am not sure I would log that. I do log my cleaning over the weekend whereI literally break a sweat and it takes two hours to sweep, mop, swiffer, do dishes by hand, scrub bathroom, do lanudry and hang on line, change litter box, and dust. I sweat doing my cleaning and don't when I work out so I think it's a credible workout considering it's not daily.

    Now hold on there, I was going to bribe my wife with an extra snack!

    I'm sorry but cooking and sex are too completely different things...yes cooking prep is not exercise...but if your sex is as dull as chopping an onion...I suggest you get yourself some toys ;) oh yeh and...good response!

    I'm kinda embarrassed to admit this.....
    But I wore my HRM when I had sex a few months back (to see really if I was burning anything) and well you realize that when your heart rate gets to a certain point you ARE burning calories. That *session* I actually burned 130 calories! Of course I was doing all the work (which I don't mind) and I got something out of it besides pleasure. I burned off my snack for the day!

    Just saying....depends on how much you put into it. I like sex when it is intense and everyone is sweating. (hey...just being honest)

    As you watch the calories adding up, 20, 30, 40 etc. be careful not send the wrong message by shouting "69! 69!"
