Ok...I have a desk job on campus, but this semester they switched some things around so now 2 days a week i'm lifting tables and chairs during a 3 hour shift. my activity level is sedentary because i'm a student and usually sitting around all day in class or at work, so should i log those hours? i was thinking about logging it as an hour of strength training...i don't want to change my activity level because it's only twice a week...

input please

Hi,

I would log it, it's time not sat on your *kitten* doing heavy lifting some people join a gym to do that!

yeah, i would log it since you have your settings to sedentary
but i wouldn't log it as the entire three hours.. just the 1 hour like you said! just to make up for margin of error.. and you get bonus LOL

If it's leaving you slightly (or very breathless) and maybe even breaking sweat (albeit a litlle feminine glow ) then it's be worth checking how many calories you are actually burning.

But perhaps not count these calories against your net calorie count.... just a wee suggestion :happy:

Stuff like that, I don't log it because I see it as an added calorie burn that I won't notice (as in, I won't be tempted to eat those calories back). I only log actual exercise.
