Just putting down walking or carrying a child while walking doesn't seem accurate enough. I pushed 123 pounds worth of kids (4 yr old, 3yr old, 2 yr old, 7 mo old) in a triple stroller and it was not easy. Even tiny hills were pretty hard to go up. How would you categorize this for exercise?

    pushing a stroller doesn't come close- it assumes you're just meandering down the road slowly with a single stroller with 1 child. I haven't found anything that's even close for my double stroller so until I got my HRM I just inputted a little less than double the time (so if we walked for an hour I'd put an 80 minutes)

    Haha, nice responses:) I saw the "'walking while pushing/pulling a stroller' but I'm thinking it's for pushing just one child, not four.

    Oh, I usually do make the 3 oldest walk, but we were running late for swimming lessons so I piled them all in so I could walk fast.

    I suppose you could say Irish twin. We are adopting our 3 year old and she is only four months older than my 2 year old.

    So a HRM can help you calculate how many calories you burned? How does it work?
