Ok so I need help figuring out how to clasify something that I do at work which I certainly consider an workout! I work in a Gas/Convienence store and I stock our cooler a few times a week. This involves alot of bending, lifting, reaching, and climbing a ladder! It usually takes anywhere from 45 minutes to 3 of 4 hours depending on what needs done. Help please,

    I would log it as moving or something... If you have a HRM use that and figure up how many calories you typically burn but be careful, you don't want to overestimate on a calculator since you do it all the time.

    I do close to the same thing at my job and I classify it as: Moving household, carrying boxes. I try to find something that involves similar movements if whatever I am doing is not listed. Such as: when I painted a bedroom I listed it as 'raking the yard', similar movement except for the climbing of the ladder.:smile:
