    ITA with Mrs. Hyland; if you are typically an active person you should consider setting your activity level to "active," and then only log what you think goes above and beyond your typical daily exercise. I also tend to agree with hauer01; if you are able to get a good sweat going, I think you can safely log it as "exercise."

    Me, I'm kind of a lazy creature by nature, so I set my activity level to "sedentary" and then log just about everything I do as "exercise" -- a walk with the doggy, my fitness DVDs, and even house cleaning :)

    We are the same here! I know that I go through lazy streaks and that I go through working out every single day streaks. I set mine to sedentary as well. I'd rather not over estimate what I am doing.

    It depends on how you set your calorie goals. If your activity level includes these exercises then don't add them. If you are going by MFP's method then do include them. But it also depends on what you call exercise as some people seem to have wacked ideas.

    if you are sweating, you are exercising, lol. If you're smiling and joking you're not.

    What if you do both at the same time? I can work up a good sweat and smile while I do it :-)

    Then you might be some kind of Witch. We're keeping our eye on you.
