    I dont know about the maths but I can break a pretty good sweat hoovering the whole house/mopping the floors and changing beds. A light clean I dont log but a good clean counts! I am always under my calories so I dont think any exercise = lots more food.

    Surely any activity that increases the heart rate is good and should be commended not criticised!

    My most intense cleaning is that occasional straightening. Getting all the lose ends into there proper place in olives running up and down the stairs more than usual, bending over to his things in the drawers under the laundry machines and the wine cabinet...

    Exercise is exercise as long as you are burning calories and even sweating, some people don't sweat when exercising
    simply because thats how there body operates. I have logged cleaning before using a HRM as well. I even know people that have used there HRM to see exactly how many calories they have burned through out the day and while sleeping.

    I say to each there own, what ever works for you hen do it, don't criticize !!

    Clean on !!

    If you work f/t and give the whole house a proper clean at the weekend, that is going to use more calories than someone who is home all day and tidies around for a few minutes at a time.

    I say log it! And if after a time you find you're not losing - stop logging!

    I'm just impressed with anyone who puts a lot of effort into cleaning (surely that's what husbands are for?:wink: )
