Your recommended calorie range assumes you'll be doing some activity throughout the day, like shopping, chores, etc. So to add those activities in would likely be "double counting". I would only count something as exercise if it gets you into your target heart rate range for 10 minutes or more.
Hope that helps! Let me know if you have more questions!

I have been on here looking, and am wondering why they don't have a category for a domestic enginner.
How do the rest of you calculate your energy burned in a day - shopping, driving, chores, cooking etc?
