i have a question
I am using Break Pal to exercise while at work at my desk. These are short 2 or 3 minute exercises. For example, the one i just did has you raise your arms, then as you lift a knee you bring your arms down & twist. What should i log this as in my activity journal here on fitday?

If you are getting your heart rate into a training zone, then maybe it would count as "cardio," but it seems like a stretch to me. I agree with vabeachgirlNYC on this one. Even if you do 45 minutes consecutively of raising an arm and bending it to your knee, it still doesn't burn too many calories, unless you do it fast enough to raise your heart rate significantly and break a sweat. For logging, I would probably total up the time and use the category "mild stretching."
