Why no calorie burn listed in strength training?

blytheny

When I log any strength training excercises, there are no "calories burned" listed. Any reason why? After a good 30 minutes of strength work, I am sweating & my heart rate is definitely in the "cardio" range at times... so I know I'm burning extra calories, and would think that would have to come into play with the calories I'm tracking.

Any tips?

Most strength training burns very little. You can log it under the cardio exercise if you want.

Strength training isn't listed beause it is highly variable. It depends on how much rest you put between sets, how good your form is, etc. It can be very difficult to estimate how many calories are burned from lifting. There is a weightlifting option under the cardio exercises that you can use. It underestimates, in most cases, but it's something.

This!! Now that I strength train more then cardio, I wear a heart rate monitor and log it as cardio exercise.

Under "Exercise" enter "Strength Training" under Cardiovascular > put in 30 minutes and it will give you a number.
