Uncharted exercises

I want to be able to count mowing my lawn as exercise but am very new to this program. How do I go about recording this exercise as I mowed for almost 2 hours.

    These are both in the exercise diary under Cardio:

    Mowing lawn, general

    Mowing lawn, riding mower

    It's up to you whether you want to log them or not. Some people don't consider them exercise as their workouts are very challenging. Other people barely move, set their settings to "sedentary" and log every little thing.

    Alternately you can wear a heart rate monitor but in both cases people contest their accuracy.

    What is "uncharted" about mowing the lawn? Go to the exercise tab, and under "Cardiovascular" click the "add exercise link" and type in "mowing lawn." Then type in the length of time you spent mowing the lawn.
