exercise and points

  • Hello. I know that 20 minutes of exercise is worth one point. But does this have to done all at once or can it be broken up?
    I mean can you do like 10 minutes and then later do another 10, Im talking about walking.

    Thanks.
  • Actually that is a very, very old way of figuring points. It is now based on current weight/intensity of workout/length of workout.

    LOW - you can talk and sing
    MOD - you can talk but not sing
    HIGH - you need deep breaths to talk

    Now having said all that a mathematician took the W/W Slide rule for Activity Points and did this,

    Light Activity:
    Weight X Minutes X .000232 = Activity Points

    Moderate Activity:
    Weight X Minutes X .000327 = Activity Points

    High Activity:
    Weight X Minutes X .0008077 = Activity Points

  • I think any way you get exercise is a good way, but yu really should work your way up to 30 min to get the cardio benifits. Good luck and keep going
