I went for a walk yesterday . . . kind of. My ward's FHE activity was combined with another ward for a Valentine's activity. I went with my roommate, but I decided to walk home. So between the two dances that I danced and the walk home I'm counting that as an exercise.
I bought a house last week, which I'm very excited about, but I've been having an internal debate ever since I bought it, and now I've decided to see what you, the readers, think about this. I'm trying to decide if cleaning and painting and moving in can count as exercise. Let me know what you think.
I definitely think it can count! Or at least some parts of it. Painting and most heavy cleaning definitely gets your heart rate up, and especially moving heavy boxes and furniture! But lighter things like vacuuming and dusting, not so much. You just have to be the judge on a day to day, individual activity basis.
ReplyDeleteIt counts as long as you break a sweat for more than half an hour... I think I read that somewhere.
ReplyDeletei'd count it if you feel sore in the morning, in the i did alot of stuff today, and i'm feeling it, kind of sore
ReplyDeletesomething i've been doing for some easy ab exercises, is sitting in front of the computer i'll pick up my feet and putting one finger gently on the desk, i'll twist so that the chair i'm sitting on goes left and right. the finger on the desk is only to give you a bit of ground, you don't actually use your arms at all
best part is it's easy and you don't actually move your lower back!
