Ever thought there should be some things which really ought to be listed as Cardio-Vascular exercises on MFP?

For example:

Slogging round the shops with four heavy bags for three hours trying to find the perfect present for someone who won't appreciate it anyway.... 400 calories

Rampant, wild exciting sex all up the stairs and on the kitchen table.... 1000 calories

Playing Twister with your kids.... 65 calories

Huge family argument, throwing things across the room, stomping in and out of doors.... 220 calories

Cleaning out 6 rabbit hutches.... 120 calories

Loading the car and doing a boot sale.... 350 calories

Waiting until the very last moment, heart pounding, to bid on that must-have eBay auction.... 5000 calories worth of stress!

Any more suggestions?

    Cleaning up all the dog sheit in the back yard that the dear husband can't seem to do even though he gets home a few hours before I do. The little man likes to hide it behind the bushes where there are spiders....... and I'm severely arachnaphobic.

    I know...incredibly old thread but I thought it was funny.

    Driving for a half hour in traffic with road construction during rush hour should equal 500 calories easily!
