Exercise you dont "count"

pooing

peeing

lifting my fork to my mouth

swallowing

I'm missing out on so many activities!

I don't log sexual activity especially since my wife told me if I wore the heartrate monitor to bed she'd cut it off.

I don't log moving around my office or any heavy lifting of stuff at work. I do log my lunchtime walk (2 1/2 miles) however..

I log most stuff that makes me sweat for a sustained period of time. Or stuff that is really out of my ordinary routine.

I only count the gym, and even that i forget to log. Hikes, swimming and walking the dog are things I don't include because they are things I have always done. I gained my weight doing all of that stuff so I find no reason to include it, its more just a part of my life. Now cleaning the garage this weekend should provide a great burn but probably won't log that even.

I also agree that people should log what is right for them. Is it hurting you if someone you're friends with logs cooking? No.

I do not count the walking that I do when I'm at school (there are classes on different floors).
I also don't count walking I do when I'm running errands to stores (& parking further away in the lot).
I don't count regular chores, ex. laundry that I do a couple of times a week.

I do count heavy duty organizing/cleaning because I don't do it regularly.
I did count walking during a trip to a mall a few weeks ago because we were there for four hours so it was unusual to my lifestyle.
I do count sex, lol, right now because it's a long distance relationship. (Oh & I joined MFP early this year to lose weight. I can tell you though that even before I counted anything that when I'm getting it on the regular I'm thinner. I go all out. lol. It's a workout for me & my partner.) Someone asked about calories burned during sex. I've read 200-400 per hour. I can't remember what I have it at in my log right now though. When my man is able to move back to town I will up my regular daily activity level instead.

If I were to do the other above things regularly I wouldn't track them as exercises but I would change my MFP profile to indicate a more active lifestyle. Right now my profile is set on Lightly Active. If I were to do other things more regularly I'd change it to active.

I track my exercise to make sure I do it (lol) but have been trying not to eat the calories back. However after reading different threads & hitting my goal I may be changing that a bit.

P.S. I am poor. I do not have a FitBit, Jawbone, etc. I do have a pedometer watch that I use when I walk. I tried using it for other activities but I can tell it's not tracking them accurately because I'll be drenched in sweat, have exercised an hour & it'll say 40 calories.

I count most anything MFP lets me. It makes me happy. It's like a bonus for doing chores I hate.

I ONLY count planned activities that raise my heart rate up for a duration of more than 15 minutes and more.

Nothing else. Even if it is strenuous.

I exercise an average of 4 times per week--treadmill, exercise class, weight training etc. I track my exercise calories, but I don't eat them which sometimes results in a 500 or so calorie deficit for the day. Is this a problem as long as I'm eating my food calories of 1200?

I try to keep track of and record my activity level. I log weight training. And these activities I only log if I think the intensity is high enough: dancing, yoga, hiking/walking. I walk everyday as transportation and usually do not log that.

I'm already set at the highest activity level plus I added an extra 100 or more calories to that. I also dance almost everday.

I don't count housework, yardwork or walking my dog. While I may be burning slightly more calories than normal, I don't feel its a high enough burn to count and risk overeating.

I only count what I burn when I have my HRM on, i dont count anything else, like

Stretching
Cooking
Housework
Short walks

I have my everyday life figured in.

i dont count stuff that doesnt involve me leaving the house... like cleaning, yard work... though most people seem to... i do count riding my bike even if im just going to the store if its going to add up to at least 20 minutes riding time.

mostly i only count concious exercise activities like skating.

when biking was my only activity it didnt seem to help much... which is why im glad to have found skating which seems to burn alot.

Oh my! If I did that, I wouldn't be counting anything! I'd say a good 95% of my recent weight loss involved me not leaving the house. It has only been the last week or so that I added walking and cycling outside to my routines but I still do most of my exercising in the comforts of my home.
