I did a little bit of scrubbing with that hand. But I'm left handed so most work was done with the left hand not wearing the Apple Watch.
If I understood correctly what I've been reading in this thread, cleaning the kitchen is the perfect exercise as far as the watch is concerned because I did a lot of scrubbing enough to get my heart rate up, but enough standing still (trying to figure out how to reorganize things) that it took snapshots of my heart rate more frequently.
Good, I've got a lot of cleaning to do this week. I hope I get that exercise ring moving!
Unfortunately I don't have time to go and exercise for the sake of exercising. (Though I hope to have some time for biking on some trails this summer and some kayaking and swimming). When I move around and am active I damn well also better be accomplishing a critical task at the same time. I'm taking care of my property, my cancer-recovering parents' property and am also going to be part of the landscape crew at my kids rural private school.
If all that hard work isn't exercise well then I guess it isn't and would explain my stomach pudge. But I was interested in setting activity goals because I don't want to end up disabled like my mom. My grandma warned me to never slow down or get sedentary because past a certain age it is almost impossible to get going again. Still if I've inherited the joint problems my mom has, and it looks like my knees have it, I may be doomed anyway. But I am going to fight for all I'm worth to stay active for as long as I can.
