in Fitness and Exercise
I'm a florist and I stand for 8-10 hours per day....does that count as an exercise of some kind? Nobody ever gives those of us who have active jobs any hints, etc....it's always geared to the employee that sits for 8 hours a day.

    That would be under your activity level and not exercise. How much do you move?

    As has already been said, that means your activity level may be fairly high (certainly a good bit higher than sitting all day). I burn about 400 more calories being on my feet and moving around for 7-8 hours in a day than sitting most of the day. So, the difference in calories burned may be significant in your case.
