i spent an hour at the park playing with my little one, chasing hima round, pushing him in the swing, and just walking around. do you think it would be about the same as gardening?

    Well, I work in the garden everyday, and I would consider it to exert more energy. It has been upper 90s here, so I haven't taken my 3 yr old son to the park lately. I searched the database and came up with some options I would choose that would be comparable to the same exertion for the same amount of time:

    Cleaning, heavy vigorous effort, 60minutes
    Raking lawn, 60 minutes
    Pushing or pulling stroller w/ child, 60 minutes
    Walking, 3.0, 60 minutes
    Walking, carrying infant or 15 lb load, 60 minutes

    Hope this helps!
