When I put in my exercise of pushing a stroller, do I need to add the walking also or is it included in the pushing of the stroller. It seems like it should be included but the numbers aren't making sense. Give me your thoughts?

    If there is an exercise listed in MFP as pushing a stroller while walking, I'm sure the walking part is included. So, no worries you don't have to add the walking, too!

    I think it probably includes it as it comes out the same calorie-wise as walking slowly (2 miles per hour). Mind you, if you walk at a good pace and are pushing a larger toddler I'm sure it would probably be more than that!

    Thanks guys. It just says pushing a stroller. I would think the speed and also the weight..ie how many kids are in the stroller would make a difference.
