vigorous weeding and bending in the garden

I can't find any activity in the exercise database for weeding. Does anyone have any info.? Thanks!

Gardening.

Well how about that! I just looked though and it says "general gardening". I weeded for two hours and when I put that in it said I burned 715 cal. Doesn't that seem like a lot? I did a lot of up and down bending etc. but that seems like a lot.

I'm a gardener too! I've been adjusting the calories burned a little based on how hard I feel I was working out there. I've been checking my heart rate periodically during activities like gardening and mowing in case MFP is over-estimating them.

I was thinking of estimating them because that seemed much to high. Thanks!
