This evening I spent about 1.5 to 2 hours standing at the rear of a semi trailer catching pumpkins and handing them off to others. How do I log this as exercise?

    I use a fitness watch, so the extra hand movements would be logged anyway. I might manually enter a workout if nothing seems to fit.
    Are you thinking of logging it for cardio? or weight training? I sometimes have this dilemma when I do something like help a friend move furniture for a few ours. Way more than my normal activity level but not an actual workout. I usually find something similar or just manually log it using an educated guess.

    There are entries for moving household items, but I suggest don’t log more than half the time since you weren’t actually moving that much.

    unloading a truck of pumpkins. Hm....How about estimate the average weight of pumpkins, the number moved, and logging it as weight-lifting with that many reps. Pick a kind of lifting that is closest to what you did. Bicep curls? Whatever.

    too bad you weren't wearing an activity tracker, but you know those make us lazy about logging we expect too much to be automatic these days.
