So we are doing a new thing in group now. We have to do a sign in sheet that lists how much fruit and veggies you eat (average) how much protein, whether your maintaining, gaining or losing, and how much you exercised for the week.
I was the lowest of everyone - only exercising for a 180 minutes - the next lowest was 240 and everyone else was doing like 500+ minutes. Seriously? People are working out seven days a week over an hour a day? When I was training in swimming I was doing 540 - 640 minutes a week, but that was morning and evening turnout three times a week and swimming six days a week. That is a lot of exercise people.
When I was walking (training) for the MS walk I did have some heavy weeks (over 500 hours) but that was with 2-3 hour walks. And I wasn't working.
So TH thinks I am a bit jaded, but I know how much work it is to just do that walking (not aerobic) so doing that much exercise aerobic seems a little out there. But I figure if they can do it I can too. Does walking up and down the stairs at the house count?

Walking up & down the stairs in the house counts a lot.

By the way, I think you meant 500 minutes rather than hours unless Dr. Who has taken over
