I know you like to kiss and make out because it's an expression of how much you care about someone (and it feels good too!), but getting intimate can also be good for your heart and your health. I wouldn't equate it with going for a run, but things you do with your partner are definitely considered exercise. Remember that anything that uses your muscles or burns calories makes you strong and keeps your weight down, but intimacy is also good for your cardiovascular system because it gets your heart pumping. So the next time you just feel like sitting on the couch with your man, here's some motivation to get busy! Check out how many calories these loving activities burn per half hour. Calculations are based on a 130-pound woman.
