Maybe you all can help me. I have been doing laps in the pool at the gym and I use a kickboard. I don't know how many laps but I do it for 30 minutes straight. I don't know how to count the calories burned for this. Can anyone help me?
Thanks :happy:

That sounds like RELAXING exercise!!0

It is...sort of. I push myself so I am getting something out of it. I kick different ways and speeds. But the time goes much faster then on a treadmill. I am going to add more actual exercises to my workout tomorrow like all pull ups and upper body exercise.0

I wonder if you burn more calories kicking with your legs to propel yourself, or if you'd burn more swimming along with only your arms pulling you along? It'd be one way to do the same exercise, but variations to use completely different muscle groups.0

you can probably count it as "swimming/light effort). That's listed in the MFP database.0
