Walking While Pushing A Stroller Help

angieskia

The closest exercise to this was carrying an infant/15 lbs. In this instant we're not carrying we are pushing uphill or controlling downhil. I've seen plenty of mother's doing this & I have done this with My DOUBLE stroller. At the time both of my boys were over 35 lbs. So how would you measure or classify this Activity?

I believe you can find it on this site:

It has a lot of exercises in their database that MFP does not have.

I push my double stroller for long walks almost every day. I just classify it as "walking moderate pace - walking dog".

I do not think that the calories are correct for "pushing or pulling stroller." I tried it and it calculated 66 calories for 30 mins. This is the same as "walking slow pace- 2 mph" for 30 mins for me (66 calories). If I walk at 3 mph (moderate pace walking dog) I burn 87 calories for 30 mins. If I am walking & pushing my daughter in the stroller, I always walk at a pace of 3 mph. So there should be a way to put in the pace you are walking while pushing the stroller, otherwise this calculation is completely inaccurate and useless (and frustrating that no websites bother to have info about an exercise almost all moms do!!).
