Hey guys,
I was doing some DIY today....what did you think i meant?

I had a nightmare of a corner unit to put together with about a million screws. My arm is killing me and it took a little over an hour therefore i consider it exercise.

I can't find a category and wondered if anyone has any ideas?

Thanks x

    Love the topic ... I would put it under vigorous cleaning, kinda the same motion as scrubbing??

    On a side note ... I wonder how many the other topic burns too, anyone know, LOL!

    Try this website.
    My hubby does carpentry and said the calories you are going to get from that are less than "carpentry"

    Bahahahahahaha you totally got me!

    I was all set to come in here and tell you how vulgar that was to say (although I have been curious myself!)

    Not sure - can't say I've ever done DIY! x

    Thanks everybody :wink:

    As you said it didn't burn calories as carpentry does i decided to put it in for half the time.

    On another note 365 calories per hour huh? Now i just need to divide that so i can work out how much gets burned in ten minutes lol xx

    LOL.. I would say it was the same as housework, I mean it feels about the same as scrubbing out the shower or something.

    >>I was doing some DIY today....what did you think i meant? <<

    for a second there I thought you were having happy times with a vibrator :happy: LOL

    That's funny, but I would say it's probably more along the lines of a weight training thing (resistance...) and unless your heart rate actually got going, not a lot of calorie burn.

    Doesn't exasperation cause calorie burn? :wink:

    A few people asked for the "other" calorie burn amount...
    I think she was helping them out

    As for the 10 minutes, I don't even think I could count that... I really don't do all that much of the "work" :wink:
