How many calories do you burn vacuuming?

How can I figure out how many I am burning doing random activites not listed? I am poor and cant afford a HRM.

Any help is welcome.

Honestly, you don't want to start logging stuff you do on a regular basis such as vaccuming. Unless you are spending several hours veccuming and working up a sweat, it is just an excuse to not exercise. You can google exercise calculators that may help with other activities (and vaccuming).

I personally wouldn't log it.. Cause to me thats not exercise. Thats something thats a part of everyday life... and normally when I vaccum, I'm only doing it for like 3 minutes.. hardly enough time to burn a significant amount of calories or get my heart rate up.

i usually only have time to vacuum once a week so it normally takes two hours to do the whole house. To me that is burning calories. (: thanks for all the help.
