sex as exercise?

[trinitysmama33]

okay so here is a question: would u count sex or any sexual activities away to burn calories?

or would u not even think bout as a way of exercise all.

[Yellowlily333]

yup :)

[bellygirl]

Absolutely! It does. I tease my husband all the time. I tell him that's why I let him be in top; b/c I care about his health and he's able to burn calories an get his heart rate up. Of course we laugh, but it is true:).

Lighten up and pull that stick out of your bum.

Sound like you talk from experience. ..being one. Pathetic if that true.

Quoting OliviasMommy611:

Say what?

Quoting connie45:

Cheating sex burns more calories. All that guilt and worrying really burns the fat.

I don't think so, but my boyfriend does...  LOL  Every time I mention weight loss, he tells me I just need to follow his workout plan!  LOL

[RebeccaMcGrane]

Absolutely!

Calories burned are not over the top

Well, I can tell you that vigorous sex can make a diabetic person's blood sugar drop, just as exercise can!

I don't think I'd ever call it a workout or anything, but it's certainly activity.

[mickstinator]

well, i think if you break a sweat, you're burning calories. so in my case, i sure do count it! ; )

[truelove813]

I dont think of it as exercise when I'm doing it. But its more exhausting than any exercising I ever do, so sure I'll count it as my workout ;) 

[MelanieMans]

I dont do it for exercise but it burns calories, thats just a plus lol
