How Running Or Jogging May Improve Sexual Life
To improve sexual life, you don't need a scientist to tell you that sex can be a sweat-drenched workout. But how many calories does a good romp really burn? A recent study measured energy expended during sex versus running and found that we get our hearts pumping and muscles cranking enough during sex for it to be considered moderate exercise.
The researchers recruited 21 healthy, active, heterosexual couples in their early 20s to jog on treadmills at about 65 percent of their maximum heart rates for 30 minutes. While running, they wore lightweight armband monitors that measure energy expenditure in calories and exercise intensity or metabolic equivalent of task.
Next, the couples were asked to have sex once a week for a month while wearing the same armbands to track their calories and intensity during sexual activity. The duration of the sex varied, but the average session across all couples for the month was about 25 minutes. On average, the men burned 9.2 calories per minute while jogging (or about 230 calories for a 25-minute jog) and had a mean intensity of 8.5, compared to 4.2 calories per minute (105 calories per session) and 6 calories during sex. Women burned a little less, logging 7.1 calories per minute and 8.1 on the treadmill, 3.1 calories per minute, and 5.6 calories during sex.
