    To get a calorie burn estimate, log strength training under cardio.

    It doesn't burn much, but it does depend on how much you're lifting and time between sets. So you can see its virtually impossible to estimate the burn.

    Strength training has also been shown to stimulate higher metabolic rate for hours following a workout unlike cardio that makes it hard to track too
