Calories Burned during Strength/Weight Training
I found a calculator that I though I would share with everyone. You can break down your strength training workout by entering your weight and time spent doing a certain activity. It probably isn't 100% correct but you can decide which one you want to use. http://www.fitclick.com/calories_burned
