How to add the backpack weight to a training session

Dear All

I'm going often to have hiking with my son on the backpack and the total weight is around 18/20 kg.

I don't find in any place how I can add this additional weight because for sure it does matter in the overall performance calculation...

Thank you for any suggestions

    This specific forum is for Garmin Express issues.  Your inquiry would likely get better results if you posted it in the appropriate device section.  Perhaps forums.garmin.com/.../

    Also, and related, you seem to indicate you are carrying a child on your backpack.  The general rule of thumb is your backpack should not weight more than 20% of your body weight.  I remember may years ago a study done by the Swiss that essentially stated this same rule, and the reason was because it was easy to lose your balance once 20% was exceeded.  So use some care!
