The following post is excerpted from an email conversation with my friend Linda Hasenmyer.
Hi Linda,
So, for the last year or so I’ve been on this Quantified Self kick. One of the things I do is wear a calorie tracker gadget which measures, among other things, the calories I burn on a minute-by-minute basis. Every few days or weeks I check my data and try to see what I can learn, and try to adjust my behavior accordingly.
Today I was reviewing my data and remembered the conversation we had last week about calorie burn with regard to rowing and snow shoveling, so I thought I’d share with you what I found.
