After all many of us women burn most of our calories with it :grumble:

    Get a pedometer and list it as walking. It's a slippery slope toward daily activity logging, though.

    I don't know, clothes shopping when trying on (and consequently taking off) clothes can be quite a workout too.

    Yup, I probably burn more calories jumping up and down trying to fit in my darn jeans!!

    I'm sure it's right beside riding a motorcycle, ironing and breathing.

    If you're like me, you don't spend much time standing around. I'm an impatient shopper.. I get in, get what I want and then spend the rest of my time waiting for others so I do laps around the store :P

    You'd have to be incredibly out of shape to work up a sweat shopping. If you do then count is as vigorous walking or something

    Why isn't shopping mentioned in the exercise section? Because unless you're in a race for a gold medal which consists of rushing through every store a shopping mall in under 10 minutes, it's not really exercise is it?

    There's a perfectly good "walking" option in the exercise database: use it.

    Is it just me or are some users taking this post too seriously? It's posted under "Chit-Chat, Fun, and Games", not "Fitness and Exercise".

    Were you taking the p*ss out of the other thread that was floating around? Or am I totally wrong?

    Have you ever ridden a motorcycle? Jeez.


    And I don't log shopping, I log the walking if the trip is over 3 hours, just because I don't dawdle round shops either, I'm a crazy shopper. Lol!
