Do you log EVERY exercise?
Options
Just curious for everyone with a heart rate monitor...
Do you log every exercise you do? Or just one or two of the things you do at the gym and lump them all under the same category but include all calories burned on all combined machines?
Just curious... If I work out more than once in a day I'll log each time I work out... but if I do the bike, elliptical and lift weights in one trip, I'll lump all my calories burned into one of the 3 categories.

I log about half of what I do, I guess.
I log gym exercise and more than 20 minute runs, and sometimes things when I'm joking with MFP friends.
I don't log exercise I get from running around all day, even though I have a pedometer that tells me I'm easily over 10,000 steps a day. I don't log housework except as a joke to my husband. The things I do everyday don't get logged because I've already incorporated it into my base calorie needs.
And when I need to lose a couple pounds, I don't log any of my exercise because I will want to eat back all those calories, and since I'm set at maintenance, and I don't want to change the settings for five pounds here and there.0 -
To clarify... I don't log my everyday activities, like house cleaning, etc. just stuff I would count as exercise... If I do more than 1 machine, I'll just lump all the calories into one category.0
