Hi...dont know if I am in the right place as I posted in the fitness forum and heard nothing....how many calories are burned when walking at a moderate 3.5 speed on level surfaces, jogging downhill and steady walk uphill...all pretty evenly into thirds? I am also pushing a 20 lbs jogging stroller packed with 60 lbs of kids? Oh for approx 40-45 minutes? How many calories would I say I burned off?

check under the tab, at the top, under tools. There you'll find a tab called activities where you can look it up. Don't know if 'pushing stroller' is listed tho. Bet the kiddys love that.
thanks for your reply...I have checked under that but it just doesnt seem right...only like 192 per hour pushing or pulling a stroller? Do you think I should calculate how much on my own and then add the stroller and kids with the 192 an hour?
Just count it as walking 3.5 mph for 45 minutes......and let the extra calories burned go.....it never hurts to burn a few more calories than you think!
Under walking I found this.....
Calories burned with Walking or Walk Downstairs or Standing (Tag This)
Carrying Objects About 75 To 99 Pounds
472 calories per hour HOWEVER
YOu are not carrying, but pushing, which is probably like pulling... try this one. I think the clubs would be quite similar to a stroller.
Calories burned with Golf (Tag This)
Walking and Pulling Clubs
271 calories per hour
There you go... you can even tag it if you do it often..
Check out this article. I was curious about the stroller calories burned too. I walk with two in a stroller and one in a carrier. But there is no info on that out there. This is an article on the benefits of walking with kids in a stroller, I think you will be surprised at how many extra calories are burned.
