You do yard work ?

Projects that require you to go up and down the stairs?

Projects that require you to get up and down off the floor (laying flooring)?

    I wouldn't but many other people would. If I was doing strenuous work for any length of time I might consider it, but otherwise, no.

    LOL my mind went in the gutter with this post!! "Would you wear your HRM when".... haha sorry, but I must not have been the only one!!
    My answer is no though, I don't count chores..not because I don't work hard and get a good sweat on most time, but because I would slack on my actual workouts, I love making excuses!!
    But for the sake of science I might wear one while having sex cause well now I'm kinda curious!! LOL!!

    If it is something that raises your heart rate, I would do it! It also depends on how accurate your HRM is. Mine isn't always the most accurate so I sometimes say I did it for a less amount of time or fewer calories burned. I say if you're workin up a sweat, go for it!!! Especially the yard work :)

    LOL No need to wear an HRM for sex! In general, you can burn up to 400 calories per hour!!!!!! I did my research on that one! HAHA

    I think it depends. I totally did shovelling snow but that was a harder workout then some of my actual workouts! raking leaves yup but just doing general yard work nah.

    Heck yeah! I live in Texas, our ground is hard, filled with rocks that surface when it rains & I don't have to mention the heat with humidity.... I thinks it's a work out I sweat like crazy & my legs are sore the next day, lol

    I do when I mow the lawn. I burn over 1000 calories moving the front and back yard.
