Anything can be argued to be a form of exercise if you want to. When chess was included as a sport during one of the South East Asian games, the chess federation said it required a lot of mental and physical conditioning. Like is damn siong like that.

Chess mental, definitely...
But physical? Think until sweat issit?
This one, I cannot see how to justify.

Photography is definitely physical... just carrying the equipment is weights training already.
And you need to move around a lot...
Unless you sit on a stool in an air-con room with your equipment all mounted in front of you and you only need to press the button on your camera... then it is no exercise at all.

I dont think photography is physical enough to be able to replace any daily exercise routine. I still need to jog and do weight training regularly to clear my IPPT.
And btw, sweat NOT = burn fats. you are just losing water.

The term exercise is too general, muscle toning and cardio fall into the category. Carrying 7 kg of equipment can be classified under toning of muscle. Getting heart rate up while shooting XMM is cardio :bsmilie: In either case, I don't think is good enough to keep fit. Going for long walk with climbs and heavy gears would definitely be considered as exercise.:bsmilie:
