Painting?

I don't have a HRM. Right now I am really wishing I did. Rolling paint can be hard work!! I tried looking it up in the database but didn't find anything. Any suggestions on how I can track the paining that I do today? I will not be cutting in, I will be rolling and I don't have any fancy roller either. Probably for a few hours.

    Maybe count it as cleaning, vigorous effort? (or whatever the database calls it) It's fairly comparable to heavy scrubbing ;) And definitely a good arm workout!

    Yup, I agree. Painting can really work your shoulders, arms, and back, if you keep at it. At the same time, cleaning, vigorous effort always comes up with really high numbers. I'd probably see what it gives you for that, and see what it gives you for aerobics, or something similar, and come up with a number in between.
