Am I 'very active'?

Would you consider me to be 'very active' if I do advanced ballet for 2-3 hours, 3 times a week? Right now I have my setting to be 'active'.

    When setting my activity level, I actually set it on my lowest regular daily activity level... This is currently set for "Sedentary" and I add my exercise in... Now, in reality, my weekends may be relatively sedentary (without considering exercise) but my daily (week day) level is probably more to the lightly active to active level given the time of year that it is... By setting it at the lowest common activity level, I don't over estimate my activity level for less active days and I think it is a bit more active... By doing this, you could potentially add your ballet activity as "exercise"... just use some caution when estimating its value so it is not over estimated; of course, as always, if what you are doing is working... keep doing it; otherwise, change something. Best wishes on your progress.
