Wrapping as Exercise?

Does wrapping gifts count as exercise? Why am I completely exhausted after wrapping 6 gifts just now? Since I am too lazy to clear off table space, I have to wrap them in the floor. My pregnant belly doesn't do too well as I sit in the floor leaning over to cut, twist, turn, and tape. After a few minutes my breathing is more intense, and I start to feel warm. I decide that the goal is not perfection (as small gaps or wrinkles appear in the paper) and just hurry up and tape those ends down so I can be done! Just getting up from the floor is a feat in itself. Then it's back down to wrap the next gift. Now I feel like I need a nap.

I think the pregnancy is the issue here. :) What in the world - on the floor. I could not see over my belly at your point in the pregnancy. :)

What's weird for me is that I cannot wrap on a table. I always feel like I run out of space and so I have to wrap presents on the floor. I feel the need to spread out, I guess.
