I'm new to the site and have only introduced myself. I enjoy reading all the different conversations. I love the sense of community. I have a question, how do I calculate yard work? I know for sure I have to be burning something. Thanks.:smile:

    I put it under gardening, actually did a lot of that myself today and burned a ton of calories!!!!

    I wore a HRM during some regular gardening - pulling weeds, raking, planting flowers, etc. It burned about 100 fewer calories than mfp said. I only count half my gardening time.

    Hope this helps.

    I did 60 minutes under gardening today. Even though I was sitting and standing, I was dragging dirt, digging slowly and planting....

    Then I got to watering...

    I did some gardening myself yesterday....but did not think to log it. Nice to know that it is in the data base. And Thanks Mary , will keep in mind what you said about the count. :smile:
