Look at the following chart. You will see estimated MET values and calorie burn from two activities. Walking versus using a spinning wheel to produce yarn.
My question about it, why can't I do 4 or more hours of making yarn per day, instead of doing 6k-10k steps of walking and get a better calorie burn. I searched if doing the spinning wheel would count as walking, but my results said no it's not the same as walking, and it's not considered good enough to count. That it's just a waste of time for fat. But you look at see the MET values, is this information I get false?
Using the spinning also requires some walking when making yarn. For producing the yarn you do not sit the entire 4 hours.
You see I reduce 1.0 MET from the MET value, this is to count only the extra calories past the resting rate.
I just performed 6k steps today and, I think it would be more efficient if I produced yarn for 4 hours. The steps took 1.5 hours. I at least could take the yarn and produce things like wash cloths.
Walking
(3.0 -1) MET * 181kg * 3.5 / 200= 6.33
1min 6.33 calories
30min 189.9 cal.
60min 379.8 cal.
90min 569.7 cal. 6k steps.
180min = 1139.4 calories. Compared to 4 hours of making yarn.

(2.5-1) MET * 181kg * 3.5 / 200 = 4.75
