Am I Moderately Active?
I've begun upping the duration of my cardio workouts. My sessions range from 40-90 minutes (split throughout the day) 6 times a week.
The thing is that I don't know what my level is. While I do these sessions throughout the day, I'm not doing all that much else. I do some cleaning around the house, but I'm not outside pulling weeds or cutting the grass. I read, relax, watch TV, etc. I walk/take the bus to work, but my job involves sitting at a computer.
What do you think my level is?

As a tip, start with the higher level & see how it goes for a week or two. If you don't lose weight, reduce the activity level and work with that. If you start too high, you can reduce and it won't cause a problem. Start too low and you risk accidentally crash-dieting... and that's not a good place to be.
Cool, thanks so much!

What is a quick way to burn calories?
To burn more calories faster, perform more vigorous activity. For instance, running at 6 MPH burns twice as many calories in the same... Read more
