I was using my HRM as I worked in the yard today. For the 4.23 hrs it shows I burned 2259 calories. My activity level is set for Sedentary (little or no exercise, desk job but on weekends I do extra work around the yard. I'm trying to determine how many workout calories I should list so I can make up some of the extra calories.

Any idea?

    I think logging about half of the time spent is good unless you were absolutely moving the entire time, then log it all!

    I was raking, push mowing, riding mowing, vacuumed and blowing leave. Pretty much moving the hole time.

    But half sounds far. That way im out of the red.
