Do you think walking with a stroller burns extra calories? I would think it would...but not sure how to calculate it.

    I would probably enter walking carrying a 15 lb infant or walking with dog to calculate that. both take into consideration that there is extra effort on the walk

    There is actually a "pushing or pulling a stroller" in cardiovascular but It says that you burn less calories then walking 2.5 mph. I would make sure that you are walking less than 2.5 mph. before I selected it. I also thought it would burn more calories. Check it out for yourself though and see if that is the way it is. I hope I helped

    Thanks! I think I need to just get an HRM, I feel like I am guessing on too many of my activities.
