Cursive writing not exercise?

in Fitness and Exercise
I wrote a note to my daughter's teacher, all in cursive, tonight. My hand hurts. Surely this is exercise, right? Why can't I find it in the database?

    I paused while loading the dishwasher to do it so I'll count it as four plates.

    I can get mean writers cramp, I still have that little bump on my middle finger from writing a lot, but alas I really don't think it counts as exercise.

    Yes but it was over so fast it didn't actually register anything, unfortunately.

    How fast was you writing? Was the pen leaving the page after each word? HIIT I'd log it as :wink:

    Were you writing in cursive before you started weight loss or is this a newly added activity?

    i feel like everyone here is being mean to the OP. just because it's easy for you doesn't mean it's easy for everyone. you people that have always been thin and have ripped abs need to stop condescending on those of us that have to work a little harder. She may not have done much, but something is better than nothing right? We should all be more supportive and stop what we're doing to give the OP a big round of applause for beginning her fitness journey.
