Multiple household tasks all at once -- vigorous effort
So, I've been using this free online calorie counter that lets you enter in what you eat and also how many calories you burn. It helps keep me mindful of what I eat throughout the day, so that when it's time for my afternoon snack and I recall that there is ice cream in the freezer, I can turn my back on the ice cream and choose fruit instead.
But my ice cream (or lack thereof) is not what this post is about. What this post is about, is the random, random assortment of possible calorie-burning activities FitDay lists when you try to chart your activities for the day. Rather than list every single thing I do during the day, I had simply chosen the option of entering "Lifestyle: seated, some movement." That tells me how many calories I burn just by being me, supposedly.
Other people, however, are apparently not satisfied with such a vague activity log. They want to list every single thing they could possibly do during the day. Possible calorie-burning activities one can engage in include:
butchering animals (that's what I'm going to do next time I need some exercise! Where's my butchering knife?)
sitting, reading religious materials at home (do you burn more calories by reading religious materials than trashy secular materials?)
cooking Indian bread on an outside stove (how about French bread? On an inside stove?)
sitting on toilet (do I really want to enter in exactly how many minutes per day I do this activity?)
playing guitar, folk or classical OR playing guitar, rock and roll band (Yes, rock and roll burns more calories than folk.)
arts and crafts, standing, vigorous effort (what kinds of arts and crafts are these people doing that require vigorous effort??)
drawing, writing, or casino gambling while standing (because casino gambling just goes hand-in-hand with drawing and writing)
and, my favorite:
multiple household tasks all at once-- either light, moderate or vigorous effort (I kind of think I need to enter this one and say that it's what I do 24 hours a day: multiple household tasks, all at once)

LOL Those are incredibly funny!
yeah I use it for a food tracker as well, and I always laugh at the things they have on the calorie burning, pole dancing however, is not listed... :(
