What is my activity level?

jillsjourney

Could someone please help me figure out my activity level?
I do cardio 5 days a week for 30 minutes and I do strength or resistance training about 3x a week for 15 to 20 minutes.
I sit for the great majority of the day, so am I sedentary or does my exercise make me lightly active?

Thanks so much!

how do you do cardio 50 days a week when there are only 7 days in a week...???? Do you live on the moon?

If you plan on logging all your exercise (including walking over 15 mins), I'd set it as sedentary. If you are just going to log your main work outs I'd choose lightly active.

I'm taking it you are doing 5 x a week cardio, if I am incorrect let me know as I have 2 small kids and I would LOVE to have that much free time.

Anyway if you are foong your TDEE I would be looking at second or third above sedentary kind of mid range. But of course is depending on how hard u are hitting cardio or are u strolling?

If you are setting up MVP don't worry bout exercise just your daily activity level eg computer programmer or roofer who is up and down ladders all day.the exercise calculations will happen when u log in

Hope that helps a bit.

Yes, that was a typo! I meant 5 days a week.

Thanks all for the replies. I do low impact aerobics for cardio but I work at a desk all day. I think I will set it to sedentary. I ask because I get a hugely different calorie amount for the day depending on what my activity level is.
