Wondering if I should change my activity level?

Currently my workout schedule is this:
In the a.m. I am doing 30 day shred, when thats done I'll do ripped in 30. I do this everyday unless something comes up and I can't fit it in but I usually do this 7 days a week. Then after dinner I was walking for an hour plus but now I am getting back into running so I have been running more and more then adding more walking to my route to make sure I am getting a full hour plus in. I do this 5-6 days a week.
Then during the day I run an in-home daycare. Days can vary but we stay pretty busy and I am on my feet moving most the day. (Lots of cleaning up after meals, snacks, crafts, learning projects! etc)
I chose strenuous 5-6 hours a week. After seeing what others are suggesting, should I change my level to moderate? My schedule will be like this to atleast through to September or so.
Thank you!

I think you're definitely at least at strenuous, maybe even the one above that (7+hrs/week) since you have an active job as well.
It's definitely difficult to determine which level I choose- I'm always questioning mine as well!0 -
You are DEFINITELY not moderate. I'm exhausted just reading your post.0

I am also a home daycare provider - I know what a BUSY day that is. Whew - it's all I can do to fit my runs in after work. And you're doing 30DS and Ripped in 30 on top of that. Yep...my vote is strenuous!0

Ok, thanks! I do love being busy, I don't even know how not to be. I am so used to it so it just seems so.....normal.
I question it because I know the shred isn't very long, but I do use 5-10lb weights and on my walks/runs my almost 3 year old always insists on coming. She is teeny but she gets heavy quick pushing her up all the hills around here! I just didn't want to be BSing myself.0 -
Hey sweatpants, I just noticed you aren't too far from me!
I think you should add the Bix7 to your list;)0 -
I know I'm late in regards to this topic, and I agree with the above comments.
However, I have this to say:
You

a
