According to research by German experts, a passionate kiss for one minute can help you burn 12 kcal, equivalent to a light walk for an hour. With about 12 minutes of “love”, couples on average burn the same amount of calories as 30 minutes of jogging on a treadmill at a moderate pace.
You must be gasping when you hear these numbers, but this is an undeniable truth. Sex will increase your heart rate, and promote metabolism, especially blood exchange between organs and under the skin. That is why women who “make love” regularly often have very rosy, smooth skin. Besides, this is an effective weight loss exercise that all men and 95% of women participating in the study revealed that they prefer sex to running on a treadmill.
Sex helps lose weight effectively & impressive numbers
Sex experts say that physical intimacy has the same effect as aerobic exercise, doubling metabolism, burning belly fat and waist fat, helping you lose weight and gradually have a slimmer body. This is true for both men and women. Different intensities of lovemaking and different times of sex will help you lose weight differently. When doing “that” you have to move almost all the organs in your body. A lot of pressure from sexual activity on the arms and shoulders. In addition, the elbows and knees are also used to the maximum, helping to tighten the abdominal muscles effectively, so sex affects all the muscles in your body.
Making love in many different positions along with passionate kisses helps burn 1,000 kcal, equivalent to an hour of cycling. Canadian scientists have also proven that sex can help you lose weight better than any other method. Specifically, they conducted a survey on 21 couples aged 22.6 – 28 years old in the Montreal area (Quebec, Canada). They also attached a device to these people, called SenseWear mini, to help measure the amount of consumption.
As a result, sexual activities can help consume about 101 kcal (equivalent to 4.2 kcal/minute) in men and 69.1 kcal (3.1 kcal/minute) in women. Thus, the test shows that sex is basically still a type of exercise, so it can “eat” quite a lot of calories to help you lose weight effectively.
Experts do not require you to only do one position, so try to rotate as many positions as possible. Don’t forget, let the girls be a little more “active” to make love more exciting as well as increase the effectiveness of weight loss!
