What exercise do you think would be equivalent to weed eating? I just spent 100 mins doing this, and I have no idea how to log it...

    I have no idea. I just came in here to log mine too, and found nothing. I am going to search the internet to see if I can find how many calories burned and make an entry.....hopefully. LOL!

    Cleaning is in the database and it definitely over counts for regular cleaning but vigorous weeding may be similar.

    I would like to know the answer to that also. Great question. I get alot of woking out in my 2 acre yard but have no idea how to measure the calories I burn. I am soaking with sweat from the work I do out there. Does anyone know?

    Enter it under gardening. If you were actually pulling weeds not using a weed whacker. Using a machine I might count half the time.

    My hrm reports about 90 calories for 20 minutes.

    Whether it's weed eating or eating weed, there are more efficient ways to deal with weed(s).

    I thought you were trying a new diet or eating pot! LOL

    If you're talking about pulling weeds, I'd just look under gardening.

    Doesn't the vibration count as something? Seriously though -- my sister works in a chiropractor's office and they have this weird vibrating platform, where you burn 2x as many calories in therapy because your muscles are working 2x as hard to perform the exercise.

    Yeah, I just made that up.

    My shoulders used to get tired after spending a couple hours with a weed-whipper when I worked in landscaping, but that was before I did the Shred and Ripped on a regular basis :drinker: :bigsmile:
