This might be a dumb question but I have to ask

How do you know how many calories you are burning during exercising and everyday tasks? I haven't exercised for years so I am starting out slow. I am doing the Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds DVD's. I am on the one mile twice a day, 5 x a week. I also do gardening in the yard on the weekends. I'm also going to start adding in strength training with the resistance tube. The closest gym to me is 50 miles away so I have to get my exercise at home.

    Well, a heart rate moniter would help in determining how much you are burning, but if don't have one, then you have to kind of depend on the exercise database in MFP...

    I got an HRM first, but then found I wanted to track my daily steps as well and the fitbit has worked wonderfully for me. I still use my HRM for activities that aren't step or stair related (like walking or hiking), and add it to my fitbit amounts to get pretty close to my daily TDEE.
