exercise points question
 

i havent yet been to a meeting&noticed on a copy of the tracker i got says to try to earn 28 points a week. last i knew 20 extra minutes was only worth 1 point. can somewone tell me what time is worth now cuz 28 seems like a ton at 1 per extra 20!

There is an exercise tracker now (similar to the points tracker) which goes by weight & level of intensity (light, moderate, heavy) and depending on how long you do your "activity" and how "hard" you would earn points.

So it is not a set "1 point for 20 minutes"......I don't have my tracker here with me but in my case I believe I need to exercise for approx 30 mins at a moderate level to earn 2 activity points....and probably 15 mins at an intense level for the same 2 aps.

how many do ya think would be earned by 1- 1 1/2 hrs of moderate swimming?

Depends on your weight - maybe someone who has their tracker around can answer better?

I subscribe to Etools and this is what it said: 90 minutes of fast swimming is 11 aps; 90 minutes of slow swimming is 4 aps. That was at my weight of 153 though -- my weight is in my profile and the tool calculates everything based on that. I don't know yours so it might be more or less, depending.

thanks kathy!
im close so ill figure 5 which means im ok cuz 5 x7=35

I don't ever count my aps. I just figure they'll cover any cheats I have OR they will just be extra. I think I'm just too lazy to figure them up. :lol:

go to caloriesperhour.com and it will calculate the calories for you according to your weight. 100 calories=1 point. according to that site I can earn points by driving.
