When I’m calculating my weekly MET/ activity numbers , should I include lifting or should I be counting strictly separate conditioning work?
I probably wouldn’t use the METs from RT or MET-Minutes alone to meet/exceed the Physical Activity Guidelines, as their rec’s for a given amount of RT and AT volume would be a more appropriate goal.
That said, if you were looking to track MET-Minutes of total activity, yes, you should count RT along with other physical activities you participate in.
