Calculating calories burned

NiceLoki

OK - so I'm not working out at a gym or on any cardio machines that work out how fast I'm going, or how many calories I've burned.

I'm doing the old fashioned, free and easy "walk the streets" exercise (for now).

When I get a base level of fitness back then I might consider a gym for some further motivation.

Until then though I'm on my own for calculating how many calories I burn doing my cardio exercises.

So at the weekend I did some active gardening that caused me to work up a proper sweat and left me breathing heavily. Then this morning I went for a walk.
To calculate how many calories I burned on each occasion I've done a Google search and found these websites;

I'm just wondering if anyone has a better website to recommend?

Nice investigative work! I have just been putting in my exercise on the log provided, and it calculates it for me, but not sure how accurate it is.
