Gaging Intensity Level If you want to start exercising and using the activity points calculator, then you will need to know how to measure the level of intensity of your workout.
Low If during your workout you can talk or sing, your breathing is regular and you are not sweating, then this is a low intensity workout. Moderate If your breathing is deep and often and you start to sweat after 10 minutes, this would be a moderate workout. So you plugged in your details using the activity points calculator and got the results. You may be wondering how it's determined.
The formula is simple. It takes your weight in lbs multiplied by the duration in minutes times the intensity factor. Basically, on the original points system you would earn 1 point for approximately every calories you burned. Also, on the original method, food points values were 1 point for approximately every 50 calories.
So exercising to get the activity points still creates a deficit in calories consumed versus calories burned. On the points plus system food points values in many cases went up. Good news is the activity points you earn in many cases also goes up.
With the original method you had to burn approximately calories to earn a point. However, with the points plus system, you need to burn approximately 75 - 80 calories to earn 1 activity point. So even though the food points values went up, you can add more activity points quicker. All in all, the results are approximately the same on both systems.
You earn points for your activities to use for extra food. Since the food points values are different for the two points systems, the activity points calculator factor was also adjusted accordingly. The formula used to calculate the activity points is the same for both the points plus and the original WW points system. The only difference is the intensity factor used for the two methods.
This is how the plus system gives you more points for your activity. Another thing you may be asking yourself is what counts towards activities to earn points? Some activities are obvious such as a brisk walk, 30 minutes on the elliptical, riding a bike and running around the track.
While these are obvious other activities may not be as obvious. For instance, many people may forget to count their strength training or ab crunches. And it's nonjudgmental. You don't have to move exactly like the instructor.
It's more like dancing in a club, people can just move the way they want. But popular is one thing; safe and effective is another. Get your dancing shoes on: After crunching the numbers, researchers found that participating in a single Zumba Fitness class burned an average of calories.
