I have been looking around and trying to find ways to burn calories and i have to say that there are things I (and most people i know) enjoy that arent listed on the calorie charts, and i hate to ask anyone out there if they knew, but how many calories do you burn when you chase your kid around or play tag and even hav sex? i know those things are good to do but dont those things add up to exercise workout too?

i checked that out, and it told me that i use more calories sewing than i do having sex...... do that seem right? i would have figured it would have been the other way around. But i may have been wrong.

(LOL). I checked, and it came out that I would burn exactly the same amount of calories with "vigorous sexual activity" as I would if I were sewing. The only thing I can think is that sitting up, as you would to sew, takes more calories than lying down, but that brings up a whole host of assumptions that I am not going to touch with a ten-foot pole.

Hee hee hee... maybe the programmer who developed that calorie counter was a male who honestly thought females just had to lay there while the man did all the work?
Ok, I just checked out that theory and I was wrong... But I don't usually break into sweat or experience an increased heart rate when sewing either

and you have to restrict the whip cream and chocolate :)

yes i think you would have to count out the "toppings"(just like pizza) , the only reason i asked this was because its an activity i like, and the more often i get some, the better i feel and the better i feel about how i look and things like that. It seems to break me out in a sweat and get my heart up when a whole day of house cleaning and a walk cant do that..

they r right though, sex doesnt burn that many cals....but the more intense ya go the more cals u will burn ;)...that goes with everything...none of us could tell how many cals u burn playing tag...it depends on how much movement u do, how long, rest periods etc etc etc...too many variables...just reside in the fact that all movement is good movement.
