This can't be right!

I just looked at activities and even vigorous sexual activity is shown at 111 calories per hour...There is no way that sexual activity burns fewer calories than walking.

Hmmmm.  Maybe it just depends on how you're "doing it."  ;-)  Hee!

I suggest more vigorous activity, and see how you feel.. haha...

An hour?  I'm impressed ;)

haha thats what im sayin! an hour? i can only get him to go for about 20 mins, and that goes by fast when your uhh.. doing it? haha but i do see what you're saying.. maybe we should all keep track and guesstimate out calorie burns;p

Hahahaa...lolz

Remember

However, next time I will strap my apical monitor on and see ...might be interesting>:)

Cata~

tee hee .....  depends on who's on top....??  The calories burned also change depending on your size, you must be smaller than me, (I am 173) because mine says 118.  which is still not much.  I bet it would be more if you were standing, or moving your limbs in some other way.  Wonder if my hubby would question me if I started flapping my arms?!

I only got 92. Guess I'll need to step it up?

dollarsgirl: your comment made me giggle at my desk at work. good thing no one asked what I was laughing about!

I just got the funniest image of cookiemakermom doing snow-angel-like moves in bed.  Maybe we can convince our guys to throw in a naked twister as part of the foreplay...anything to burn extra calories, right?  This whol thread cracks me up.  Thanks, smwhipple!  And, man, I only get 76 calories per hour.  I'm bringing my dumbells and jump rope to bed with me next time :)

HAHAHAHA. I lost it at "dumbells."

Those who are successful with using weights, winter-fun techniques, or other methods should report back. I want to at least hit 100 cal!

haha! :D

Can't you just picture it-- "Honey, that's nice, but can you move over, just a tad...you're making it hard for my to curl this weight..."

HAHAHAH! Oh Gosh. "Honey, that's nice."  NICE! What language to use in the heights of passion. So proper! Seems like we should be drinking tea at the same time too. Women ARE known to multi-task...

I multi-task, allright! Plus, I should get bonus calories for creativity!

Trust me, when I'm done, I'm too exhausted to move...it's got to be more calories than a walk in the park.

I could see it if perhaps all you were doing was kissing, but even then my heart rate goes up...I don't know about you folks, but I definitely do more than just lie there for however long it takes!  20 minutes...please tell me that doesn't include foreplay. ;-)

runner girl, when you say you are bringing dumbells to bed.... you do mean weights, right??!!! 

I think I am burning calories laughing at this thread... that's what it's all about, huh?

I haven't laughed this hard in I don't know how long, I'm almost crying. The visuals are hilarious!

And foreplay? What's that?

this thread is HILARIOUS!

ok, so let's think of ways to increase the calorie expenditure...

we got : snow angels and dumbells so far,

       &nb sp;      and a jump rope, hmmmm?

my hubby wants to know why I am laughing so hard!

runner girl... are you going to use the jump rope to lassoo your dumbells?

Maybe if we add in some yoga poses we could up the calories burned! I wonder how he will react when I start saying "up dog", "down dog", "tree", "mountain", "sirsasana" and then end with "namaste"! 

I can burn up to 272 calories per hour (if I can get him to stay in bed with me that long) by doing both at the same time!

If any of you have heart rate monitors, good lovers, and are comfortable wearing the heart rate monitor, I'd really appreciate an update....for the rest of you, go jump your significant other and see how many calories you think you've burned.

This is a highly entertaining thread, I'm really glad I started it.  Do you think that switching positions should give you more calories?  i would think that whomever is on top would get the most benefit...the guys should be loving you all!
