hi all. i have quite a physically active job, as in im constantly up and down stairs and walking from end of the hosp to another. but ive only been logging exercise as like say if ive done zumba or a fitness dvd at home. do i need to take an average of my working day and put it down as exercise? i logged friday as 1hr brisk walking as it was a particularly demanding day. i work from 8-4. any help would be much appreciated.

    :wink: I don't! Consider the extra walking as a benefit...

    Set your settings to "lightly active" if you're a nurse, or are walking around as much as you are. that'll factor in for you.

    What you need to do is have your activity level set appropriately. I would say "lightly active" (or whatever the second one is above "sedentary"). If you're breaking a sweat at work, I might bump it up one more level than that.
