    Is it a ski machine? Maybe log it as cross-country skiing?

    Multiply number of minutes by perceived exertion level on a scale from 1-10, to get a ballpark. Or get an HRM.

    I have the same trouble figuring out how to log treadmill walking. I finally found walking that burned the same amount of calories as what the treadmill says I burn and use that. Is there a way to enter new forms of exercise, like your Nordic, that's not already in the data bank?

    Its more like an elliptical I think. Sometimes when I try something new I just enter it under something that works me at the same heart rate. Sometimes that is just like running at 5miles per hour. Just remember that the calorie burn is highly over rated and no amount of exercise can burn off too much food. :smile:
