    You add all your gym workouts as extra aye?
    So yeah, sedentary and keep adding the workouts... Otherwise I'd say active and NOT add the workouts.



    My job has me doing different stuff each day sometimes I'm sitting all day sometimes I'm walking around and standing heaps.
    On a typical sedentary day my pedometer (iPod nano) gives me around 80-100 calories burned for ALL my walking about that day. So I wear it each day and anything over and above the 100 I enter as exercise, and keep my activity level at sedentary always.

    You could try that if you have one, see what you get on a typical sedentary day without workouts. If its under 2500 steps a day, I'd say sendary for sure.

    I think people often over-estimate their activity level as a SAHP :/

    I think I will strap my HRM one day and wear it for a 24 hour period on a rest day. I think that will give me a good idea.
