On a web site that I found for figuring out how many calories you burn for the exercise you do, it said that I burned 930 calories for 1 1/2 hr of gardening. The site calculates your hight,weight, age,gender. This sounds like a lot of calories burned??? Is it right?

    MFP lists gardening under exercise. I'd compare with that. :smile:

    That's as close as you'll get without having a HRM.
    So yes, go wit it.
    Time does fly gardening.

    MFP marks it as more calories than that.
