I moved a bookshelf yesterday, should I log that as 500 calories?0

That really sucks.
I'ts great for some extra NEAT and jazz but it just sounds time-consuming and a PITA
That is why I rarely do it. Most of the time I bring it in the shower with me and get all washing done at once.
Well that's one way haha
There's actually a backpack laundry bag. One of my residents had it in college, made it easier to bring it down to the basement to do laundry0 -

I wait so long to do it, it would never fit. I did just get a cart though. Darn...less calories burned.0 -
I count doing my laundry as exercise. However I lift a cart up a flight of stairs, then carry my laundry up the flight of stairs and pull my cart two miles to the laundry place and then when I'm done do everything in reverse. By taking each individual piece of laundry and putting it in your car and after you wash it take each individual piece of laundry from your car to the dryer fold it and then put each piece away separately you would experience a workout0

I used to use a huge duffel. Laundromat was only a mile away so it was a quick downhill walk there, then uphill to get back home. Clean clothes are oddly lighter than dirty.0 -
My laundry is down stairs- both washer and drier- to I get to log the steps up and down with the basket as part of my weekly runs?0

I make my own detergent... how many calories do I burn grating 2 bars of soap once a month.0

How many calories would you say this would be?
I was told there'd be no math

That's pretty brutal, honestly, I'm so thankful I have laundry in my building (on my floor, like 30 seconds from my door).
What about going more often with less stuff (like this hasn't occurred to you, but I have to ask)?

I work at a music school and my good friend is the office manager/receptionist. She is also a pianist and had to come in to accompany one of my classes. She wanted to log the piano playing. It's not like she was doing Jerry Lee Lewis stunts. If anything, the work was slightly more vigorous than clicking around on the computer. I told her to knock it off and go do some jumping jacks.0 -
Basically I believe that a household chore can be counted as exercise, if it doesn't occur more than once every 2 weeks or once a week, if it's unusually strenuous & takes at least twice the amount of time, than usual. Like how I mentioned earlier, if 1 has a toddler that expects you to carry them around in the clean clothes basket for fun; while also having to go up/down stairs. I logged snow shoveling because so far this Winter, I've only done it twice; not more than once or twice a week.0
