Daily living tasks are the tasks an individual does on a daily basis as an essential part of living. They include sitting, standing, eating, digesting food, sleeping and going to the toilet. While these tasks are not generally viewed as exercise, they are physical activities that contribute to energy expenditure. In addition to the tasks of daily living, most people also perform physical activities such as walking.
