Why are planks listed as cardio on the mfp fitness menu?

    In order to get an estimate of calories burned, even if they aren't done for that long

    That's good, but I think of it as strength and we don't get calories for strength. that's why I thought it was odd.

    Plus having that show up on my feed is weird too. :wink:

    OK. I've never looked for it that way since I want to keep up with what I'm doing

    You can log it in both places. Cardio for the calories burned, strength for keeping track of reps/sets/weights.
