Hi there,

I'm busy painting the garden decking by paint brush and wondering what to log the calories as...general cleaning perhaps??? Thats what I used yesterday. Its hard going and lots of stretching and I've done 2 hours up to now :-)

Hmmm... I'd look at the calories for "cleaning, moderate effort".....I thought about "gardening, general" but that might give you TOO many calories. Better to go under than over, esp. if you are eating back your calories!

My wife and I could resolve this for you pretty easily and scientifically. I have an HRM, and we have a deck that needs to be stained/painted - and Maryland is wonderful place this time of year ;-)

Painting is between 300-400 an hour, depending on your size.
