Calorie burn question

jimswmn

Here's a question I might get a response to: How do I calculate calorie burn for digging? Okay yard work or gardening is not the same. HRM won't measure it. Large and I mean large pile of dirt left in a lot next to us and its an eye sore. Owner won't do anything about it so I am trying to level it out so the dog doesn't fall and break a hip. Its more then general yard work and I can't find anything that compares. Any suggestions?

You can put it under circuit training. Why wont your HRM measure it?

Thank you! Exhausting and painful. My biceps and shoulders are getting a workout.

I love the picture of your dog. We have a white German Shepherd and it looks a lot like ours. What kind is it?

Did that website work for you?
We don't know really what our Joey is! Ha! He was a stray, but seems to be husky, shepherd mix? ...he is only 60 lbs, so he is smaller than most shepherds...He's a lot of fun, that is all we know!

My HRM instructions state that it will only count cals burn when my HR is over 100. This may be the issue with yours.
