Logging my walks to work


Quote  |  Reply

I walk to and from work every morning and afternoon, as well as lunch. It takes me about 12.5 minutes each way so I have been adding these walks to my activity meter. I have been adding the whole 50 mins together as one activity, instead of 12.5 minutes 4 times. Will adding it together give me a different calorie burn on CC than it would if I added 12.5 minutes 4 times.

Am I making sense? Basically does CC calculate the calorie burn differently if the system thinks this 50 mins of walking is done all together or if it was done in 4 seperate walks?

nope, that's fine!

That's what I do every day, too! But seriously if you have a question like that, just try it both ways. You can always delete it.
