So today I went for a walk with my sister around her neighborhood. I don't really care about calculating the difference between uphill and down or anything like that. I had a pedometer but at some point I guess it restarted or something because it didn't read what we KNEW the distance to be. Anyway, how would I calculate calories burned for walking, 1.5 hours at a 3.0 pace, pushing a stroller (that literally weighed 100 pounds). Anyone have any ideas??

    The time and the pace shouldn't be a problem, but I'm not sure how to add in the weight that was being pushed.

    When I'm pushing the stroller I select 'walking dog'.

    i use www.goodrunguide.co.uk, which is a pretty good tool.. on the free trial you can map your route and it works out the hill levels too, incorporating them... and then you can add in your weight to estimate your calorie burn..

    again i'm not sure how you'd incorporate the weight of the pushchair though sorry!

    There's a exercise calorie calculator on the Pro Health website that has that activity listed in the drop down menu.
