What level of activity would you say this is?

plarcade

I've just started a new job as the Yard Manager of a riding club/stud. This involves a LOT of aerobic activity; grooming, tacking up, leading horses, sweeping, carrying huge buckets of water, general running around for 8-12 hours a day. I'm always shattered at the end of the day and need to work out my new TDEE so ideas anyone? Thanks

depends on your current weight and height...which are ? :-)

That's got to class as a "physical job" surely?

I would say it was moderate, it also depends on if your out of breath when you do a certain job, if yes then i would say moderate to very moderate, also i would test to see from when you start a job till you finish of wether you have slogged your gutts out to do the job. Hope this makes sense ha.

It certainly feels like it!! I'm keeping up with 3 men and they find it hard graft as well

Pushing heavy wheelbarrows, carrying 20l buckets of water 2 at a time....I certainly work HARD some of the time. The rest of the time I hardly ever sit down.

Your activity level doesn't depend on your height and weight.

I'd probably try "Active" for a month and see what happens. You can always adjust.

I would prob put it as highly active! I have had a job like yours before and definately high activity levels.... You are very lucky to do what you do! My dream job for sure! I miss being around horses! Good luck!!

I would go wth the high active job. I think carpernter and such in in that group. You can adjust from there if need.
