Sex considered a workout?

[phelan]

In an effort to keep fit and all and put off just a few more pounds (slightly overweight here) is sex considered a workout? As when your doing doggy/missionary for 20 mins it can get pretty tiresome, at least for me it is.

I'm not sure it has the same impact as traditionally exercise, but it does burn calories. I wouldn't expect to shed a lot of pounds or use this as an only means for weight control. It would be wonderful if weight loss were so pleasurable :)

Yeah, I want to go on that diet :D lol

[phelan]

lol i'm sure many people would want to go on that diet heheh. My libido is fine so i'm ok in the dept and same with g/f I just want to beef up my abs a bit as my office job is getting the better of me and I want to start building up a little bit of a chest as i'm a flat guy right now (not that my g/f is disappointed but she did mention that she wouldn't mind me looking like a chipendale dancer sometime :P)

but i'm glad to know it does burn cals :)

Is joining a gym a possibility for you, phelan? I dropped 40 lbs by the weight watchers diet and exercising at a gym.

Yeah I would love to join a gym but i'm kinda of on a tight budget right now, just graduated from college so paying off those student loans is priority for me, and living in one of the most expensive cities doesn't quite help as the rent is quite high per month.

Oh I see...Hmmmm...well I'm not really all that experienced with weights...but if you exercise and eat right, you'll lose fat and gain muscle. I'm not really helping am I? lol

I like www.caloriesperhour.com, it's a good site for tracking how many calories you've burned in a day.

[cherrypie7788]

BTW, that site will even tell you how many calories sex burns by the level of intensity lol

[phelan]

lol where? this I HAVE TO SEE! haha

Ok I read somewhere that having sex for 30 mins is just the same as a 20 k run.
I think it said that it has to do with the heart beating at so many bps per minute.
Because it does burn cals quickly it is actually good for you as well as being very pleasurable. (as we all know)

As most guys will detest too, the abs can get quite the workout. It can even get to the point where it actually hurts to laugh.

Some girls don't realise how much torture us poor blokes go through some times. But stupid us don't complain coz it feels too damn good!

We'll start with determining just how much cunnilingus is too much, and work from there. ;)

one orgasm=1500 calories

That site is crazy.

There's no way that vigorious sex burns fewer caloires than strolling along.

avoiding the wet spot afterwards = 10 cals.
