Ah yeah, I see what you mean. The reason I have that in there is because the level of exercise greatly influences your calorie burn. Yard work, for example, is only half as effective as running.

Each level of exercise has a multiplier, and if someone walked around for 4 hours, but then someone else went running for 4 hours, it would be absurd to tell them that they lost the same amount of weight.

Perhaps I could give better descriptions for the levels of intensity.
