The sex positions that almost count as a gym hour

During sex, the same phenomena can occur as during sports. You start to sigh, you get warm, but sometimes your muscles just aren't warm enough and you get cramps (hey, we're not making it prettier than it is) and you could definitely sleep afterwards. But with which position from the great sex encyclopedia do you burn so much that you can skip an hour at the gym? We'll find out for you.

An average session of sex lasting 25 minutes, but then of the straightforward missionary and not too complicated kind, ensures that you burn between 50 and 150 calories. Men average a burn of 101 and women 69, not to be confused with the position. If you go for the usuals, you'll still need to push through to the abs quarter.

With doggy style sex you can burn 163 to 250 calories, but if you also bend your elbows so that you end up in plank position, then you really don't need to go to your boot camps anymore.

As a woman on top, you quickly approach 300 calories. If you also do a lunge at the same time (my god, it's really starting to look like exercise), then we consider this a full body workout. The real daredevil does it hands-free, making you so busy keeping yourself balanced that you probably need a sip of water in between.

If you never want to go to the gym again, then you will practice on the Italian Chandelier. With this position, you can even burn more than 900 calories per hour, you won't need a boxing class for that. How to approach it: first, you need a man lying flat on his back with his legs together, as a woman you make a bridge over him and lift your hips in this position and let them drop again. The man does exactly the opposite. It suddenly shoots into my back and down to my hamstrings when I think about this position, but to each their own.

Oh, small disclaimer: if you have medium light sex, then you simply burn less. The more intense your sex, the less you need to exercise. But be careful, because then you run the risk of vaginal flatulence.
