"What, with home workouts, you mean?" I asked innocently when the request came through to write a column on bedroom exercise for February. I sensed chuckling and winking at the other end of the e-waves. The w&h team are little monkeys and like to wind me up.
I thought I was going to have to look up the calorie output of all manner of saucy things, but luckily no. We can spare ourselves those details. Saying that, though, I did Google it. Apparently men burn 4.2 calories per minute and women 3.1 calories per minute. How they work that out beats me (did they measure the full range of best sex positions or just the missionary sex position, for example?), but let’s not dwell.
