Question on Activity Points

  • I have been doing WW for about 3 weeks now and want to start actively working out.

    I don't know how to determine activity points for myself though. From what I read it is how much you perspire, light-heavy.

    I don't perspire and never have and never will. Just a weird thing about me. I just get very overheated and have to know when to stop.

    How should i calculate my points?
  • Here are some formulas that may help you calculate your exercise points:

    Light Activity (you can feel it a bit but not too stressful):
    Weight x Minutes x .000232 = Activity Points

    Moderate Activity (you can feel your heart rate rise a bit and lightly perspite):
    Weight x Minutes x .000327 = Activity Points

    High Activity (heart rate rises and you break a good sweat):
    Weight x Minutes x .0008077 = Activity Points

    Hope this helps..
  • since you dont sweat...try calculating by judging your breathing.
    light-can carry on a conversation with someone while working out
    moderate-can talk or sing but its more difficult
    intense- can not talk or sing while working out
