Would this be considered light or moderate exercise?
I've recently started taking a 60 minute walk everyday, plus the ten minutes to and from school, for a total of 80 minutes per day walking. I don't take PE in school, so during school the only exercise I get is walking to and from classes, which takes about 3-7 minutes depending which classes. At home, I usually just sit and relax, other than a couple different exercises I do to warm down from my walk, and stretches before and after as well. I'm trying to count my calories, as to get and stay healthy, and lose a little bit of weight. I need to know if this would be considered light or moderate exercise, to determine how many calories I should be getting. Thanks in advance!
Oops, I must add, I also have a paper route twice a week where I spend about 1.5 to 2 hours walking door to door!

That is a lot of excersise. It's great that you stretch and walk so much but wouldn't it be easier and less time consuming to do a 20 minute jog and the usual 20 minute walk to and from school. Don't jog right away. Start slowly and add more each day. Also, you'll eventually get used to running or walking. Start doing situps, jump roping and other stuff. Go on youtube and there you can find a large variety of good and effective workouts and stretches. Oh and you can go online and find some calorie calulators. You punch in your weight, height, ect. and it tells youhow many calories you should be taking in.
