    It's in the exercise database - quite a few people use it (I don't because I cleaned before). Calories burned are quite high on the MFP estimates (at least for me - according to my HRM)

    Gardening too? Like, all day, sweating like a pig gardening? Mowing a huge sloping lawn?

    I use the data base, and my oh my, you can burn a nice amount of calories doing housework, especially when it is vigorous, heavy, like moving the sofa to clean under it lol
