Question Dog Walker = Activity Points??

Hey everyone!

I'm kind of confused activity points - ok, not kind of, I am. ;-P You see, I'm a dog walker during the day so I'm not sure if I should count those as activity points or not since that's my normal activity level. Should I just be counting what I do above and beyond my usual level of activity? On average I'm walking at least 2 1/2 hours a day with the minimum being an hour. One and a half hours is usually a really good walk, ie; elevated heart rate and perspiration - not a hard core workout though. Any advice you could give would be super - thank ya much!

Your regular activity should be figured into your regular daily points, that's part of the formula. Your activity points are for your extra activity, like workouts and such.

I agree. Anything you do regularly shouldn't count towards your APs. Scheduled workouts that you do above and beyond your normal activity do count towards APs.

I agree. If this is normal activity for you, you should factor that into the POINTS quiz and count any activity outside of your normal activity as activity points.
