Is Sex Considered Good Cardio???
Woke up this morning chomping at the bit all fired up to hit the road and do some kick a$$ cardio but when I rolled out of bed and look out the window I was instantly bummed…..DAMN! It’s raining!!! Not a little mist either…..it’s of the cat and dog variety. Now I don’t mind running if it’s cold or maybe just a little damp and misty but there is no way I’m getting soaked to the skin and staying that way for an hour. I’m not that hardcore! Hell No! So feeling a little down I crawled back to bed and laid back down beside me wife. "Aren’t you running this morning," she asked. "Nope, not in the Rain." "Guess I just won’t get any cardio this morning." She then snuggled up beside me and whispered……"Is sex considered good cardio????" Hmmmmm, I pondered the question for a few minutes before answering. Well I suppose that depends on a lot of different factors…..ya know, like length of time your making love, the intensity of your lovemaking. I then went on at length and great detail explaining that if you could keep the intensity level high and sustain that level for a good 20 to 30 minutes….not including foreplay, then YES it would probably be considered good cardio. I turned toward her now ready to get busy….anticipating an awesome workout when she turned her back to me pulled the covers up over her head and said….."forget it….you’ve ruined the mood now." WTF!! I then heard her giggleing and realized that she was just jacking with me…..sometimes she is sooooo evil. Anyway to make a long boring story short we did the deed and yes it was a kick a$$ cardio session. Hooo Rayyyy for cardio in the morning!! Don’t know how many calories I burned but who gives a damn….it was still lots of fun. I love rainy Sunday mornings.

was it HIIT style cardio or steady state? beause Hiit burns way more calories.

Early morning cardio rulez!
Congrats on your progress. I can really see the transformation is underway in your pics.
Keep it up! PS - some folks do cardio twice daily. Any chance….

I would say that it could qualify as HIIT as there was a steady pace being set with intervals of high intesity activity. And I agree that since it will be raining all day an afternoon or evening cardio session may be in order.

Nice! I never thought about sex as cardio…….. somehow it just seems to easy? Cardio is not usually fun. This could be a milestone discovery Bryan.
