Do you log general things, eg, walking in the mall shopping? I feel like that isn't really exercising and it's a general thing one would do not daily but in general. I log in only that I sweat with. I can walk the dog alone and put on a good sweat, but if I walk the dog with the famjam, its a slow pace, stopping, yelling at the kids to catch up, picking up poop etc..lol not really, exercise.
What are your thoughts?

    I'll add walking the dogs and things like yard work, mowing grass, but not cleaning or shopping

    No, I wouldn't log walking in a mall, walking the dog (unless its mile +), cleaning the house, cooking dinner, etc..

    I only log cardio that I do in the gym (I do weight training also but I don't log the calories burned). Sure on some days I walk or whatever more than other days, but to me it's not enough to really make a difference and warrant logging. If I wanted that level of accuracy, I would probably get something like a FitBit.

    If it is something out of the ordinary for me then I log it.

    No. I only log exercise that has been performed where my heart rate was above 120 for at least 30 full minutes

    I log walking in the mall because I rarely shop at the mall and when I do its for 3 plus hours. The mall I go to is 2 miles. Most of the time I go to one store at one end of the mall and walk to another wayyyyy over on the other side. So yes in that case I log it as walking. Regular shopping just going from the car to a store I don't log.

    thanks everyone!
    I think I will just log in my cardio at the gym :) I have four kids and always running about, never lost weight running with the kids so I guess my body is just "used" to that activity..lol
