Ufa! Sex can be compared to a run in the park, as it moves 657 muscles in the body and works all of the body's muscles. I knew that?

Sexual intercourse is considered an aerobic exercise, which helps you lose weight, protects your heart and strengthens your muscles. And you don't need to compare it just to running in the park, it's also equivalent to riding a bike or a few minutes of weight training.
Scientific data
According to the Brazilian Society of Cardiology, 10 minutes of sex is equivalent to climbing three floors of stairs!
Cardiologist Dr. Nabil Ghorayeb, specialist in Sports Medicine and director of the SBC (Brazilian Society of Cardiology), explains that normal sexual intercourse is equivalent to physical activity of light to moderate intensity. (

Research carried out by the Daily Mail showed that half an hour of sexual activity makes men burn 120 calories while women burn 90.
Therefore, people can burn as many calories in an hour of sexual intercourse as they would burn in a 30-minute run, for example.
Attention: As good as it is, you should not replace physical activity with sex – it must be complementary – as sexual activity is not enough to lose weight and gain muscle mass. Here's a tip! 😉
