   I think adding the mental note to one self that this can be considered exercise, it also helps if you are deliberate about certain movements being made in a certain way. Like when "just walking" you add weights, or do long stomping strides, or contract your core.

   Not that I do anything like that. It's just something I think about when I'm cleaning my own house. 😄

     @Researchbuzz I remember a study a while back of a study about hotel housecleaning staff. One sample was the control, and the other received some coaching about how their physical labor jobs WERE fitness exercise and helping them to be more healthy and in shape. It turns out by the end of the study, the group that received coaching statistically improved on health markers just by beginning to view their work as fitness.

     If I got a fancy gym membership and went on an inclined treadmill for 40 minutes every morning, I'd be pleased with myself.

     But because I'm walking up and down hills all over the neighborhood for the same length of time I'm mad at myself for not exercising enough and telling myself it's "just a walk."

     This is dumb thinking and I need to correct it.
