    I just let my fitbit measure my steps so I don't log it as a specific activity, just part of my daily adjustment.

    I think it's a good way to get an extra "hidden" burn. I personally would not count that in my exercise diary. But that's my personal preference.

    However, the number of times I see people on my feed who count things like cooking or cleaning as exercise and then go on to complain that they're not losing weight seems pretty high in comparison to people who only count the planned exercise.

    I agree 100%! It is best as a hidden burn :blush:

    I have a wife so why would I clean the house?
    #Joking!

    It's a good thing to swap inactivity for being active but no I wouldn't log it as exercise.
