New to site, how does an exercise get added

My main cardio exercise is stand up paddle boarding which is the fastest growing water sport . How can that get added to the exercise list? The closest thing is kayaking but I know from doing both that SUPing expends more calories.

    If you click on the database tab you can add exercise or foods but I think you have to know how much calorie the activity will burn etc. That is a good place to look for other exercises that don't show up under the general search also. Hope this helps.

    If it's not listed in the database and you have no idea what the calories burned might be, you could try looking it up on http://www.fitclick.com/calories_burned. You could also do a Google search with the question "Calories burned paddle boarding?". You can find a lot of info like that. Good luck!
