Gym twice this week,

Plus I'm working as a floor person in a clothing store so there's a lot of
walking around fetching for other people... Does that count any? If so,
then make that 3 diff days x 2 hours a day...

Can someone let me know if my work could count as activity?

Ultimately, it's up to you whether you count your work as activity points.
Normally, routine daily activities are not considered towards activity points. My
experience working retail ... I would be very hesitant taking points for it. Yes,
you chase and fetch for people - but there are also idle times, time spent
standing behind a cash register, standing still folding clothes, waiting for
someone to ask you for help, etc. General rule of thumb that I use in gauging
whether something should be used towards an AP is *sustained/prolonged elevated
heartrate*.

Again, this is just MY opinion ... and I really shouldn't speak for whoever is
running the activity challenge.

Not sure, I bet it was most likely leisurely walking as I don't imagine you
break a sweat walking around there do you? That still counts for something
though. Good job on making the gym twice.
