Would darts count as cardio?? Some of my friends count this as cardio and its the only form of exercise they engage in each week. What do you all think? I play too but don't see it as exercise

That's reaching.
Maybe lawn darts, where your friends are the targets and have to dodge.0 -

Throwing spiky things at the wall, darts?
I don't see how anyone could get their HR up high enough doing that to count it as cardio, unless they are sprinting from the line to the board and back every time they fetch the darts.0 -
I wouldn't. I don't see it as any form of exercise.0

I doubt they are fit enough0 -
Only if I can count horseshoes and hand grenades, too.0

No....the only thing moving here is an arm for the beer, and if you break a sweat doing that, you need more help than I can offer!0

only if you're the dartboard that day.0

not even close.0

no way. i only count cardio as something that gets my heart rate over 130 for at least 10 straight minutes0
-
depends on who I am darting...ooh wait..0
-
only if you clean the dartboard and the darts afterwards0
-
if you were shooting them nonstop for an hour.. maybe...0

It is in the database, but it only gives me a little over 100 calories per hour. Which is probably correct. I'm sure I burn about that much more while throwing darts than while sitting on the couch. At least I am standing and walking back and forth occasionally. Plus, the obligatory 12 oz curls.0

That is reaching... a lot. It's like counting light housework and laundry as excercise. As far as I'm concerned, if I don't have an elevated heart rate, it's not cardio. If they are just looking for a reason to eat more, they need to change their activity level setting or reduce how quickly they want to lose weight.0

They count it as cardio because they think it will get them off the hook.
No, it is not cardio, it does not raise the HR, get you out of breath nor is there much movement there.
I've played darts and stand by what I have just said.0 -
Plus, the obligatory 12 oz curls.
lightweight.... 16oz is better
It is negative calories I usually end up drunk lol0 -
