Do people count the house cleaning they do in there exercise total or not? I just like 90 minutes but I said i did 60 and it gave me 250 calories, just wondering if other people count it not bother

Thanks

Anthony

    if you clean like that every day, I wouldn't count the extra, but if what you did was NOT any everyday occurence, as far as I am concerned, it is exercise and should be logged.

    Yes I agree with weaklink. I don't count the daily upkeep but the big jobs that take hours I count!! It certainly feels like a workout.

    If it's something I do all the time as part of my routine I don't count it (it would be accounted for in my daily exertion level along with work etc.). I suppose if I was packing and moving or shampooing rugs then I would, something extreme I would! I think sometimes we think we're really working hard but it's not cardio, ya know?:flowerforyou:

    Thanks all :) I don't normally do too much so I decided to keep it, as I washed floors, swept floors, cleaned for ages dusted vacumed etc ;) thanks for your advice :)

    Sounds like you worked off those cals!! Good job getting the place cleaned up, bet it feels great, I love the way it feels when I've cleaned things up. Just something about it:drinker:

    I don't count it unless it's a big project or a task I don't do that often.
