This weekend the plan is to do major yard work. Its going to be in the 80's today and 70's tomorrow. Does anyone know a good way of logging exercise for that? There will be raking, lots of racking, digging flower beds and planting, of course enjoying the nice hot weather too!!

    if you go into the excercise tab and do a search on "GARDENING" you will get gardening to come up. Just log the minutes and you will get a calorie burn figure. :flowerforyou:

    I volunteered in a cleanup effort by Rebuilding Together today, picking up trash and fallen tree branches, for about two hours, non-stop, so I burned about 550 cals just on that. Had a great time, too! What a wonderful way to spend a morning.

    Now I have to go weed the garden!
