Exercise points?
 
This is only my second week of WW so I haven't gotten the info on exercise points yet. How does that work? I exercise a significant amount and I know I should be able to eat more because of it, but how much more? 3 years ago when I did WW I think it was 1 point=20 minutes of exercise but I am under the impression that's changed. Do you think I should wait until week 4 to count the exercise points?

At my weigh-in I asked for the exercise info but they said not until week 4...I have to say I find that reather frustrating!

I think they don't want us to have more information than we can handle! If you're exercising a lot now, though, perhaps you could talk to your leader. During one of my WW rejoins :) I remember a very active newcomer who was working out 2 hours a day at a gym, and the leader told her to eat more, and how to figure that out.

How many points you get for what activity depends on your weight, so I don't think there's an easy 20 minutes = X. For me, 30 minutes of brisk walking is 4 points, while 30 minutes of leisurely walking is 2.

You can use up to 4 activity points a day to spend (eat) or bank.

HTH.

That's a big help, thank you. My friend told me that you get 4 points for 1/2 hour of vigorous exercise but I found it hard to believe I was actually allowed to count in 12 points for an hour and a half work-out. I knew there had to be some limit.

How many activity points
 
I get confused on moderate and high activity ranges. Would cycling at 80 rotations a minute be considered moserate or high activity? :?:

Confused
 
I am really confused about the points for exercise. I workout three days a week with weights and try to at least get 3 days a week of tae-bo, yoga, or walking. Is that 2 points I should add or more.

the leader from WW should give you an exercise points finder..i think we go it on our 5th week...ask your leader...i personally do not use it, even though i exercise..it doesnt feel right to me.....

hope you find it!
