I'm curious what kind of calories per hour I'm burning at my new job. It's house 'gutting'. It consists of prying off lath (tiny boards), smashing plaster with a little sledge hammer, carrying this wood, carrying 5 gallon buckets of the plaster - many times the wood or plastic is carried up or down stairs. All these tasks share about equal time.
I want to liken it to yard work, but it seems like it might be more strenuous. Does anybody have any ideas or a sight that has obscure calories/hr information?
I'm a ~175lb male.
Either way, I know 40hrs a week of this and I should be burning some serious calories.
Thanks.

in case you run up and down the stairs for an hour continually then you will burn 800 cals you should objective working up and down for 5 minutes, then have a relax for a min, then do 5 minutes greater and repeat for six circumstances throughout the day? could be somewhat greater do-in a position?
