Any ideas on how to input snow shoveling as exercise? MFP does not have a snow shoveling option that I could find.

    If you wear a HRM you could log it that way. Otherwise there are several websites that will give you an estimate if you enter your info. Just keep in mind that it's an estimate.

    About a year ago, I shoveled snow for 78 minutes. I wore a heart rate monitor (Polar FT7). My max heart rate was 180, and my average heart rate was 167. The Polar showed that I had burned 1,099 calories.

    Well, look at that. I was searching under snow shoveling rather than shoveling snow.
