Before You Know How Many Calories Sex Burns, Know Your Calorie Intake

On average, an adult male needs around 2,500 calories a day, while an adult woman needs around 2000 calories a day. Of course, individual needs vary, and you may need less than these amounts, but they are a fairly good indicator of what your dietary needs are per day. Before you start looking at how many calories you might want to burn off using sex, you should really take a look at how many calories you need per day, as well as how many calories you are actually taking in already. There are all sorts of calories charts out there, but a good rule of thumb is to look at what you are eating and drinking in a typical day and adding up the calories using the ingredients charts that come with most products.

Know Your BMI Before You Calculate How Many Calories Sex Burns

how-many-calories-does-sex-burn03

It is actually pretty simple to figure out your BMI, provided you do not mind a bit of math! The equation (yes, sorry to do that to you) for working out your BMI is BMI = kg/m2, in which kg is your weight in kilograms and m2 is your height in meters squared. Generally speaking, a BMI of 25.0 and over is considered to be overweight, and if you are between 18.5 and 24.9 then you are doing alright. If you are on the lower end of this scale, then you are probably not going to be too concerned about losing weight through sex, though if you are on the upper end or above then burning calories through sex is a great pursuit! Of course, prevention is better than cure, so there is no excuse not to use sex as a wonderful way to shed a few pounds!

Wait -- I Don't Know My BMI! How Can I Tell How Many Calories Sex Burns On Average?

It doesn't matter too much when figuring out how many calories you burn having sex, but it is good to know your BI from a health point of view. That said, though, there is a way of telling how many calories you burn during sex without having to calculate your BMI. On average, men tend to burn through 100 calories when they have sex, whereas women tend to burn 69 calories. This is based on a 25 minute sex session. Obviously, the longer you have sex, the more calories you are going to burn, and the way you have sex is also going to make a difference. For instance, for women, going on top will use up more calories since it is much more active than lying beneath your partner, say, in the missionary position. Likewise, having sex while you are standing up is also going to give you more of a workout. As a rule of thumb, the more active you are while you are having sex, the more exercise you are going to be getting, and therefore, the more calories you are going to burn during the sex act itself.

How To Fight The Flab With Sex -- Discover Sexercise!

There are a lo of ways that you can use sex as part of a work out. Of course, you probably don't want to have sex in the gym, unless it is some kind of special gym that allows that sort of thing, but there are ways that you can incorporate sex into your routine. Kegel exercises can be part of this workout, as can cardio and aerobic exercise. Sex does not just burn calories -- it also tones and strengthens muscles, plus the blood flow induced can carry more oxygenated blood around the body. If you are trying to conceive, sex is not only the primary way of doing so, but also a great way to increase fertility, since the very act of sex itself helps to nourish all parts of the body with increased blood flow, including to the genitals. While there are various forms of sexercise and sex diets out there for you to try, simply using sex as part of a workout is going to increase your calorific loss, so just by having sex the way you might usually do it is enough to qualify as sexercise -- there are no wrong answers when it comes to arranging your own sex diet regime -- just be sure that you d not overdo it!

Do I Need To Diet, Or Can I Just Use Sex To Lose Weight?

If you are required medically to lose weight, then you should see a doctor to figure out a plan of action -- with action being the operative word; that said, however, sex can -- and should -- be part of your cardio workout. It is a great way to burn through unwanted calories, although if you really have to lose weight, then you might want to consider lowering your calorie intake in the first place. That said, sex by itself can give you a good workout if you have come to the conclusion that you need to lose weight, although you might want to add at least a 20 minute brisk walk to your every day schedule to increase the amount of cardio that you are taking part in. Yoga is also a great exercise regime if it is done properly, and it has the added bonus of strengthening your core muscles as well as your pelvic floor muscles, both of which will help you have better sex.

Figuring Out A Plan To Burn Calories With Sex

If you have decided that you want to make sex part of your weight loss diet, or even if you want to include it as part of a sex diet that you will enjoy every day, then the first thing to do is to work out how many calories you would like to burn every day. Next, figure out how many calories an average sex session will burn. This is typically 69 calories per 25 minutes for women, and 100 calories per 25 minutes for men. If you have sex sessions that typically last longer, or shorter, than 25 minutes, you can simply divide the amount of calories by the amount of minutes, then multiply the calorie loss by the amount of minutes your usual sex session lasts for.

Ten Steps To Success When Burning Calories With Sex

1. First of all, figure out how many calories you would like to burn. When you are getting this straight, look at what your BMI is, what your calorie intake is, and then figure out whether you are looking to burn calories as part of an ongoing fitness regime, or if it is a one off thing.

2. Now that you know how many calories it is that you might want to lose, start to look at what kind of time frame you would like to lose those calories over. Do you want to burn the same amount every day, or just a few times a week? Correlate this with how often you actually have sex. Do you need to increase how often you have sex, or how long each session will last?

3. Talk it out with your sex partner and tell him or her that you are thinking of including sex as part of a sex fitness work out! Maybe he or she would like to include sex in their fitness regime too!

4. Now that you have talked about it with your partner and decided you would like to follow a sex fitness regime, start to look at how often and how long you would like to have sex for per sex session.

5. Think about the ways in which you could increase the calorie loss of a usual sex session -- do you need to mix it up a bit in terms of positions? Maybe there is a position you or your partner have always wanted to try? You could consider standing sex, as a good example of increasing your workout action.

6. After a week of two of sex dieting (by that we mean using sex as a way to lose weight) have a look at your weight loss and see whether it is working. While you may not see much difference after so short a time, there should be some benefits already. A note on that, though -- be sure that you keep a record of your calorie intake, so you can accurately measure the amount of calories you are losing.

7. Keep a record of how many calories you are taking in, how many you are burning, and how often and low long you are having sex for. This way you will be able to work out how much of your calorie loss can be attributed to your sex workouts.

8. If it seems to be working for you, keep on with your sex workout plan, and discuss with your partner to see whether he or she agrees whether it is working. if you have increased, or otherwise altered, your sex life together, you may want to touch base with your partner and be sure that they are comfortable with the new level of activity.

9. Amend your plan as necessary, depending on how well it is working out for you. If you need to tweak it here or there, do not be afraid to make a few changes after talking it out with your significant other.

10. Last, but most certainly not least -- keep at it! The best way to achieve success in any pursuit that you take up in life is to keep going. While it may feel that success is some way off, the only sure way to succeed is to persevere!
