Do you get calories burned for strength exercises?

And today I was doing push ups and sit ups both 3 sets of 10. MFP didn't show any calories burned. Is this normal? Do you not count your strength calories burned? I'm confused.

You can log "Calisthenics (pushups, sit-ups), vigorous effort" under Cardiovascular to get an estimate of Calories burned per minute.
For other strength training exercises...
Add "Strength training (weight lifting, weight training)" to Cardiovascular to get estimated Calories Burned added to your Diary. Please note that the Calories burned for Cardiovascular exercises are estimates for a general population and may differ for you as an individual. If desired, add individual strength training exercises, such as "Biceps Curl," to Strength Training to have a log of sets, reps, and weights as individual exercises.
Please see these articles in the list of articles on this topic in the MFP Help pages...
