Activity Points

[linds21]

I was wondering if there is any where i can look to work out the activity points of different excercises.

I went to the Gym for 30 mins (Doing Cardio) on Tuesday morning and was not sure how many activity points i would have earned?

Im also going to a dance class tonight for an hour which is pretty fast paced and really not sure on that either!???

You should be able to find out the points for exercise either in your book or on-line, depending on how you follow the diet.

I can see there are a few things about activity points but there are not anything like dance classes...

Is there a book i can buy at my meetings that have activity points in?

Sorry to be a pain!

Light Activity is your current weight x # of mins x .000232

Mod Activity is your current weight x # of mins x .000327

Heavy Activity your current weight x # of mins x .0008077

It's best to round down to the nearest point since most people think they work out harder than they actually do!!!

Hope this helps

according to a site i found

i assume current weight is lbs.. will try working it out..

well i worked out 30mins of swimming for myself, which i normally peg at 4AP if i do 1hr as i consider it moderate activity.

224lbs x 30 x .000327 = 2.197 so works out well for me

Maybe teachers were right - maths can be useful throughout your life!!

do u have to use the acitivty points though??

 

[blackwidow]

no. you can save them for a treat later in the week or not use them at all. however a lot of people find their bodies react positively to eating their activity points and they lose more weight during the weeks they do use them than the weeks they dont x
