I've changed my reply on this several times I think I agree with you in a way. Not 100%.. I'll try to explain! I can't relate something I'm doing in jeans and a t-shirt as being exercise, but I love learning something I've never done before and love being able to keep up with the rest of the group who have all done a previous course and know way more than I do when it comes to steps and dances. In a way I am not counting the dancing as exercise, because it's something I do for enjoyment rather than the fitness/calorie burning potentialities. Exercise that I count is the walking on the treadmill, when I specifically get my walking clothes and shoes on and really go for it.

I do know totally where you're coming from with regards to the kick boxing and other types of exercise that serve a purpose vs going to the gym etc, but I think for losing weight purposes I need to have a 'contrived' form of exercise too, such as the walking on a treadmill, as it 'feels' more like exercise.

That might not make a whole deal of sense I think I'm agreeing with you, but also saying that I need a more specific form of exercise, too ...and in true FWM style, I have probably written that in more than one way several times above
