How do I log this, if this counts as Exercise?

megletgroves · July 2012

Just wondering, seriously, if having sex can be logged as exercise? And if so, how many calories does it burn? I had heard it was about 300 calories for an hour (who has sex for an HOUR??), and it would be considered cardiovascular. Any confirmations on that? I would like to be able to log everything that I legitimately can!

Well if sex is not part of your regular routine...then maybe you could add it. Then again who can say how much you are really burning?

Personally I would just skip it, but I give you props for wanting to add every thing possible! lol.

Ahahahahaha

this. Maybe you could compare with how sweaty tired you are after some "log-able" cardio? Idk I'd just count it in my mind as happiness on all levels: a bit of exercise endorphins and...sex happy.

Wear a HRM. I've always been curious myself. Although i NEVER log it because i dont view it as "intentional exercise" but instead part of my daily routine.

Hubby and I were joking about this. Wear a HRM and if the HR isn't high enough you have to up the intensity

I calculated about 60 cal. per every 10 minutes for us. I am good with 15-30minutes, which is average for us. If we go for an hour, I'm dead, literally passed out for the count, yes my mans that good
