Adding exercise at different activiy levels

vim_n_vigor

What are your thoughts on what to log as exercise at different activity levels?

My thoughts are this (not stating this as fact and could be VERY wrong):

Sedentary - pretty much any activity should be logged. It could be appropriate for some medium to heavy cleaning to be logged, shopping, any walking, most activities outside of the most basic activities.

Lightly Active - Heavy cleaning (moving furniture, scrubbing floors on hands and knees), walks when done for exercise, long shopping excursions (maybe where walking 1+hours)

Active - activities done with the intent to exercise, could still include low impact/light activities

Very Active - Only activities that get the heart rate up, running, heavy cardio, weights, speed walking, or activities that last for an extended period of time that may be in a lower heart rate range (maybe a few hours of targeted walking, etc)

Thoughts? Reasons for agreeing/disagreeing?

Bump.

I also am wondering---if you're in Sedentary and go shopping say from 12-3pm in a mall, how do you log that walking? 2mph for 3 hours? 2 mph for 2 hours to account for 1 hour's worth of time standing looking at items? I can never get that down right :-\
