would you count hours in the ocean, trying to swim against the currents, body surfing and chasing kids as calories burned? We played hard at the beach today

Absolutely! (Well.. as long as my goals were set to sedentary.)0

Absolutely! Sounds fun!0

absolutely, don't know how I would calculate the calories burned, but I would definitely call that exercise... no matter how fun!0

I wouldn't. I would just feel great about doing something fun and knowing in the back of my mind I have a little extra if I need it.0

You bet your azz I would! Kid wranglin' at the beach is hard work!0

I'd def say you burned at least 200 cals, probably a lot more! Love that outdoor fun excercise!0

Agreed! I don't log having fun as calories burned. Nor do I log cleaning my house. But thats just me. If I'm going to log something, it's something im doing intentionally to burn calories.0 -
I wouldn't. I only count my actual workout times. Anything else is above and beyond. It will show up on the scale at the end of the week.0

lol i dont log "cleaning" either. but i do log yard work,mowing (i have a non self propelled push mower and a BIG hill), and gardening.
I should add i still plan on doing my hour long workout tonight anyway. but when i got home i looked it up and and just one hour of leisurely swimming was 512 calories and i thought No Way!0 -
for the record...i didn't count it...lol just my normal workout was recorded.0

i would count the swimming, but not the general playing around. and i agree with not logging cleaning and stuff like that.0
