Housework definitely counts. But if you are wanting to add in other forms of exercise, I think it helps to focus on consistency rather than quantity or quality at first. Just make a small commitment even to 10 minutes 3 or 4 times a week, or every day maybe. Tell yourself, it's only 10 minutes. 10 minutes on the bike, 10 minutes on a workout video, whatever. Then as you see yourself making it a habit, increase it to 15 and so on. Don't worry about calories burned or working hard enough or anything else at this point. Just make your mind and body learn this is a habit to stick with. Good luck and congrats for realizing the benefits of exercise and wanting to incorporate it into your life.
