I'm a full time student and I am confused at to what I should put as my activity level? I have to walk to and from dorms, to different classes, to dining hall, etc.

    I'd suggest lightly active.

    Depends the distance between them. If you go to a small school - I'd probably stick to sedentary. If you got a large university where you walk 3+ miles a day between classes, I might be tempted to do lightly active. Also, how many times are you getting up and walking? Only you can tell where you are and a little trial and error won't hurt you.

    I walk between offices and up stairs at my job quite a bit and walk at lunch - I still consider myself sedentary since I'm sitting on my bum 8+ hours a day at work. All that walking between offices doesn't even add up to an hour a day at a moderate pace.

    Not exercise, but probably more daily activity then most people have. Walking to class vs. driving to work. I don't think activity levels are meant to be how much exercise you do (that is what the exercise diary is for), but how much you move throughout the day in your normal activities. From office worker (sedentary) to waitress, nurse etc who are on there feet all day long (moderately active).

    :flowerforyou: HI WALKING AROUND CAMPUS IS GOOD BUT THAT IS PART OF YOUR DAILY ACTIVITIES. SINCE YOU ARE ATTENDING CLASSES ON A DAILY BASES START SMALL , 20 W/O AND WORK YOU WAY UP, WALKING, SWIMMING..CHECK WHAT FACILITIES ARE IN YOUR SCHOOL. IF YOU ARE SHY, LOOK IN TO BUYING SOME INEXPENSIVE DVD'S TO WORK OUT TO. THERE ARE DOZENS ON THE MARKET FIND ONE THAT MEETS YOUR NEEDS. IF YOU HAVE A Wii, X BOX, OR PLAYSTATION BUY ONE OF THEIR W/O GAMES THEY ARE GOOD TOO..I HOPE THIS HAS BEEN HELPFUL . IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO FRIEND ME I WILL BE HAPPY TO BE A BUDDY..GOOD LUCK..PEACE ISSY:flowerforyou:
