350 per hour per Wikipedia

This lists push mowing and similar and I would think it is somewhere around the same as push mowing from how it made my arms feel.

Logging weed eating and yardwork as exercise?

No thanks.

That is just normal life, and a bonus calorie burn.

Let's analyze what wikipedia says with about 350/hour for weed eating.


Walking is generally 70-80 calories per mile walked.

So, if weed eating counts as 350/hour that is similar to walking 5 miles in an hour? Walking 5 miles in an hour is, well, just like it states, moving 5 miles in an hour.
That is a 12 minute pace so either a pretty decent paced walk or a slow run for an hour.


To me, it doesnt equate as many things dont seem to when it estimates burns.

..and some people wonder why they dont lose when they eat back some/most/all their" exercise" calories.

I had the same question. Try this link. http://calorielab.com/burned/?mo=se&gr=08&ti=lawn+and+garden+activities&q=&wt=150&un=lb&kg=68
Also another site said the equivalent of 30 mins of running is 1 hour of weed eating.

She asked in 2011. Probably not coming back to check on how many calories she burned 8 years ago.
