What really counts as exercise? I keep changing my workout routine based on my work schedule, but I'm thinking of keeping my workouts to the weekend as I can fit them in and longer. During the week, I was only working out 20-30 minutes a day but my joints were becoming sore so I stopped. I'm thinking about working out 3 days a week, two hours a day, because I find myself waking up early on the weekend so I can fit it in then. My workouts consist of zumba/brisk walking/HIIT training or running, if I'm working out 6 hours a week, what do I consider myself, lightly active, moderately active? I'm so so confused:/

    I am not sure of how strenuous your actual workout is, but if it is 6 hours a week it would somewhere between moderate and extreme. Again, I am unaware of 'how hard you go' at these workouts so my personal suggestion is to take the average of the two :)

    TMI I sweat alot and I'm out of breath, but I'll definitely use the in between intake instead, thank you:)
