Where I walk around my town, it's nothing but hills....can I log that as hiking? Or since I'm not out in the woods is it just walking? :wink:

    I don't know, but I'd personally say it's walking.

    However, be careful of MFP exercise estimates because they are notoriously overestimated.

    I've heard that before, that it really overestimates. So maybe I should just log it as walking and if I'm actually burning more, well all the better for me?
