Count exercise calories for chasing your kids?

Just curious does anyone else counts chasing after their kids at the park and other play time as exercise calories? An hour at the park with my 1.5 year old I feel more exhausted and sweat way more then I do after an hour at the gym. I decided to start wearing my heart rate monitor watch to the park and I was very surprised.

    nope, that's called lifestyle. You already accounted for it when you set up your activity level.

    If you're set to the correct activity level (not sedentary), that's already accounted for in your maintenance.
