Under cardio enter strength training. Just be aware the calories are probably completely inaccurate.

CyberTone

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 provided by MFP are based on published metabolic equivalent of tasks (METs), which 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, and search for other helpful articles on the MFP Help pages...

thats because it's nearly impossible to guess the calories burned in strength training.

others may say to add it under cardio, but i dont think you should log it at all. i personally log it as 1 calorie burned.
