When am I no longer sedentary?

If I exercise 5-6 days a week, for at least 30 minutes, am I still considered "sedentary"? Does that designation really only have to do with the type of work I do (desk jockey)?

Yes, that designation is for your work. You add in exercise separately.0

It's based on what you do for work. If you work on a farm or in a factory you are not sedentary. If you work a desk job, you are sedentary. I'm a very active person, but a desk job worker. Sedentary..0

It all amounts to how many hours you are stuck sitting at a time. I started on here as sedentary but in the past week it has asked me to change my goals. I run a day care and I used to be more in my seat feeding infants, rockng or just holding. Kind of got stuck into that routine too but the youngest just turned a year and is now on the go and so am I. So because of how quickly I guess I had lost 10lbs it asked if I needed to change it and after logging in all of my active movement I realized I did need to change it.0
