I've just cleaned the house from top to bottom including hoovering, dusting, cleaning bathrooms, washing floors by hand etc. Is there any way I can record this as exercise as it was very strenuous.

thanks

    have you looked in the excercise database, i know that a lot of ppl do log housework. i dont log it since i hoover, mop, clean and do laundry everyday so i figure its part of my lifestyle. i do log yardwork when i am doing more than 30 minutes of heavyduty stuff.
    fitday.com has a good calorie calculator as do many other websites if you cant find it here on MFP>

    I log it since I do every day at work cleaning up after 3-5 yr olds

    thanks for the replies, I just earned myself almost 200 cals from logging cleaning.

    I log it because I am two tired after doing hours of housework to do any other kind of workout. Plus I have a sedentary job and thats how I determined by BMR on MFP, so I need to log most things that take more than a few minutes.
