Tracking Exercise - Clearing a Dead Tree

I chopped down a dead tree and spent about an hour clearing branches and moving wood.

I thought I would log it under yard work but I don't even see anything when I search for yard work in the exercises.

How do I log this?

    The only yard work entry I've ever seen is "raking leaves". If I do an unusually vigorous amount of yardwork, I'll just count it under some percentage of my actual time (the calories seem high, but I just take a guess based on how much I've sweated).

    You could probably log it as Gardening, that should work.

    Ah!

    Gardening.

    I didn't think to use that for a search term.

    I was thinking of some type of low-impact aerobics or something similar and gardening would probably be just the trick.

    Thanks!

    There is also a "heavy cleaning' option. Since you were "cleaning" branches out of the yard. Not sure how the calories burned compare to the others. It is probably a nice feeling to get the tree down!
