We got a second backpack carrier and now I'm not quite sure how to classify it for exercize purposes. I have been using Fitday to track all calories eaten/burned. I have found 3 different activities that it could possibly fit under but 3 total different calorie expendatures. I would obviously like it to be the most but don't want to be judging completely off. Backpacking, general 433 Walking or walking downstairs or standing, carrying objects about 25-49 lbs 289 Hiking, cross country 361 we live in a hilly area and walk for an hour, these are the 3 different hings I could find and the calorie burned associated with it. etd. Matt and the pack together weigh about 40 lbs. This post has been edited by KEB&1MVB on Apr 13 2005, 07:39 AM --------------------

I tried it for the first time and I would have to say I felt like I burned more calories than I would in my Turbo kickboxing class (which I was told was like 600). It also strengthens your back, glutes and legs of course. As long as you're wearing it the correct way and not straining yourself, I would say keep it up! -------------------- Rae SAHM to Wil (4) and Wesley (2) ~ Wife to Richard 10/20/01
