Trainers have been suggesting that their clients and visitors to the gym have sex thrice a week. Sex has been known to burn calories but how many and depending on what factors. Here's an insight into it.
Some may call it synchronized gymnastics and others choose to call it "making love", but it all just eventually boils down to a three letter word s-e-x. The age old practice we so proudly flaunt as our own since the advent of the Khajuraho Temples to the ultimate guide to sex called
The Kamasutra, we have always been known to be the pioneers in innovative and complex love making. We transcend from being flamboyant, curious teens to more experienced and well-read adults.
Giggles and sniggers prevail over new found discoveries after endless surfing over the net, reading dirty magazines and receiving the dirty bits from experienced friends. We live in a country where we proudly wear the fact that we wrote the sex book but we also live in times where it could be taboo, making us complete aliens in the society.
Well, heads up for what's coming then. It' not the million crunches and squats you do that help you burn up your calories, its much more than that! Don't be surprised if your fitness charts read, "Sex thrice a week" because that's exactly what trainers have been advising their clients to get down to their business.
Badrinath, a Human Movement specialist states that sex is aerobic in some parts and anaerobic in others.
"Sex unfortunately as practiced today, as an act of pent up stress, an act of lust etc will burn calories. But that by itself is not sufficient to replace jogging". Badrinath focuses on the fact that jogging, running and other forms of aerobic activity actually help people to have better sex that last longer, helps them recover faster after climax and have more energy and endurance to last.
When his trainer asked him to turn up the heat, Gokul Govardhan, a fitness was under the notion that he would have to increase his workout sessions and get into a more rigorous routing. Little did he know that his trainer was actually asking him to have sex thrice a week.
"I didn't think it was not possible. I believe in what my trainer tells me to do. Sex removes the fat content that sticks on to the body and wipes out all the toxins". Gokul has been working out under the same trainer for the last 2 years and he believes if this is a solution for burning calories, then be it! Shreya, another regular visitor of the gym says that sex is an amazing way to lose weight and it also defies the statement "no pain, no gain". "I don't see anything wrong in having sex thrice a week, if not everyday.
It's a great cardio and ab workout." Hollywood celebs have sworn their toned bodies on amazing sex and that is proof enough to say that trainers are right about this. "The trainer is my guru and according to me, the teacher is always right!" says Shreya.
The calories burnt of course depends on a lot of factors like age, duration of sex, foreplay, and the intensity with which the act is done.
Calories burnt (depends on factors like age and gender)
On average 170 calories or more are burnt in the age group of 18 to 25.
On average 135 calories or more are burnt in the age group of 25 to 40
If a man's not doing much work, then he burns about 120 calories, in the age group of 40 plus Indian male.
Women burn more calories only if they're doing the work during sex. On an average, men and women burn about the same because the work they do is similar.
Movement analysis:
If you were to do a movement analysis of one nights sex - 5 to 10 minutes goes in foreplay (basically kissing, touching and caressing) caloric output is negligible (20 cal).
The act itself lasts for 20 minutes (100 calories), cool down and sleep (10 calories)!
If you have multiple sex (2) or intercourse in one hour then you may look at 300 calories
The additional 60 cal could get you back into the game and passion also increases the body temperature.
