Study counts calories burned during jogging, sex

Jogging burns more calories than sex according to a recent study by researchers at the University of Quebec, Canada.

Researchers fitted 21 heterosexual couples with fitness tracking devices and made them jog on a treadmill for half an hour. They then sent them home to have sex while wearing the devices.

What they found was that while jogging, men burned 276 calories and women burned 213. During sex men burned 101 calories and women burned 69.

The results differed from another study done at the University of Alabama which found the sex act only burned 21 calories.
