I always walk/jog with an incline on the treadmill...but no calculation of that here. I know I can just take the calories from treadmill but might be nice addition.

You can enter an exercise not listed in the database, and use the calculation from the machine. (just like you enter a food that's not in the database.)

just FYI. (I change calorie counts all the time, because I use a heart rate monitor)

There's a website that allows you to figure in inclination and speed on a treadmill-I used it while I was out of town and using the hotel's treadmill.

Here's the link:

http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/calories_burned_list.asp

Scroll down under "other exercises and you'll see the options there for various levels of incline and speed. YOu then enter your weight and it gives you an estimate. Using the incline REALLY bumps up the calories, too!

Just keep in mind that any website or machine can only give you an estimate.

If you follow that link I gave above, it has "trampoline jumping" listed as well.
