How can I figure how many calories burned shoveling snow? Any ideas?
And if it's not in the database,, then it's hard to "add" it. hhmmm? I'm at a loss.

    I will, and when it says you can find it in the data base... It's not there.

    Shoveling Snow is in the database. It's under cardiovascular exercise. For my weight, height, etc., it is about 10 calories a minute.

    There are two listings for this. Shoveling Snow and Shoveling Snow Moderate.
    Hope this helps.
