Weight training

I have just done 30min of weight training with running on the spot in between for 60 steps so around 30 seconds between reps of 10.

I entered it into mfp and it only comes out at 80 calories. Would this be correct? How can i actually gage the calories im out sourcing while doing weights?

    Most lifters don't count calories burned during lifting because they are hard to get accurate and are typically minimal. Sorry I know that's not the answer you are looking for.

    If I log exercise at all, it's in the cardio section. You can add the weights in there and it does calculate it.

    Sounds good to me for 30 minutes of exercise.

    You may log it as "strength training" or "circuit training". I usually log as strength training. But if my sessions are with lighter weights and done for time (cardio), I may log it as circuit training.

    Thanks everyone for the feedback. I will do that from now on as circuit training.
