Just ironed for an hour. Must have used some calories. Anyone know how many?

    Was it light or vigorous effort?

    I would love someone to do my ironing for me, vigorously :-)

    +1, although it doesn't have to be vigorous. I just hate ironing.

    You stood still and moved your arm about a bit, its not exercise and not worth logging IMO.

    How long did you iron? Standing on your feet for 3 hours with a fishing rod burns about 300 cals for me. So while ironing, hold a fishing rod in the other arm and do it for at least 3 hours. I have some clothes to help you along this 3 hour journey if you'd like.

    Actually, it's about 150 calories per hour.:happy:

    Anyone that still irons is a super hero in my book. You can have all the calories.

    Let's see... did you use the lovely modern electric steam iron, or the charcoal fueled/heat on the woodstove cast iron model?? REALLY!?? :huh:

    This is activity and I would log it as Cleaning - light/moderate effort :-)

    About the same as standing at a bar doing 12 ounce curls

    Unless you've never ironed before and have taken this up as a new exercise routine I wouldn't log it!

    Of course! Iron Man is a superhero, "Iron, woman!" is a command.

    My mom irons sheets. Never understood that. Mine get wadded up into a ball and shoved into a pillowcase.
