You can count the activity as exercise if you choose. It's actually in the database....so's grocery shopping. Here's how I think of it. I've always done housework and shopped for groceries and I've always been overweight.....why would I count it now?
The only time I would count it is if you are doing something that you don't normally do or if it's really strenuous like stripping and scrubbing floors on your hands and knees or raking the yard.....
Just my opinion. Others may differ.0 -
It's listed in the database. Housework is definately exercise (even if our husbands think it's easy) :frown:0

Its listed in the database, but you want to be careful. If you do it pretty much every day, then it was probably in the back of your mind when you selected your activity level in your settings. So if that's what keeps you moderately active, then when you record it, your essentially recording it twice since its already figured in.0
