Logging Strength exercises - need help please

carlaringuette

Having trouble finding strength exercises. I took a picture of each machine I use at the gym but none of them are coming up.

What would you log for:

Hip Abductor machine
Glute machine
Leg extension machine
Seated leg curl machine
Seated leg press machine
Leg curl machine
Lateral raise machine


Chest Press machine
Triceps press machine
Biceps curl machine
Shoulder press machine
Pectoral Fly machine
Rear Deltoids machine

I do the two ab machines with each workout. Abdominal machine (like crunches)/ Torso rotation machine


I do 35 - 50 pounds 3 sets of 12 reps on most (not the shoulder ones - pretty pitiful there at only 10 pounds or zero - especially the shoulder press machine)

I generally do 30 minutes of cardio (usually recumbent bike or there is a machine called Ride by Octane that is like a bike and it moves your arms at the same time or treadmill)

Then I do legs one day and upper body the next.

The trainer also gave me a Full body workout with weights, TRX band, a slam ball, Ropes and a box to do ab work on. Not to be done 2 days in a row - it's a killer.

My routine was:
Mon - HIIT class - OMG - killer class but in a good way - Love it!
Tues - 5 am Spin class/choir at night
Wed - Zumba - the fun one!
Thurs - 5 am Spin class/Yoga at night - Ahhh
Fri - Cardio & Upper body machines
Sat - Cardio & Lower body machines
Sun - Full body

My father-in-law moved in with us and my record of 28 workouts in 31 days last month is gone because he can't do dinner at 8 pm. and after a full day of care taking my hubby needs a break.
I work full time too. My hubby and his siblings take turns taking care of him usually 3 months at a time. He will be heading to his next destination on May 11th so I can get back to it then until November when he comes back for a couple of months.

In the meantime I have promised myself that I will get my 10k steps in on the days that I can't make it to the gym for a full workout.

Energy level is real low with all the changes going on (we had my niece's wedding on 3/30th, then clearing/cleaning his house and selling it the following week, then moving him in with us and we're planning my son's wedding in January.) Energy level is out the window. I knew I could not make it through a HIIT class Monday, no waking up early anytime soon and our schedule is way out of whack.

Will keep trying.

So when I do make it in and when I do get back on schedule how do I log above referenced exercises?

You log all strength training exercises under the "strength training" cardio option in order to get your calories for it.

Are you trying to log them for calories or to record number of sets and reps. For calories, do as MikePTY suggested. For sets and reps, under strength you should be able to find those. Don't search for "machine", just the actual exercise, e.g. chest press, shoulder press, etc.
