Where would these excercises be listed?

Hello everyone, I used a pull-up bar today for a few excercises, knee rasies, dead hang leg raises, mountaint climbers, and situps.

I looked in cardio and strength and don't see anything w/pull up bars pertaining to that nor would I have an idea what to classify it for calories burned.

Generally i'll track calories burned, then make a list of the excercises I did that day in the excercise section if that helps.

Any help would be appreciated!

    Cardiovascular -> Strength training

    Enter total session time.

    Track specific exercises and weight/reps elsewhere for progressive overload. There are specific apps. I use Google Sheets.

    To make explicit something implicit in Retro's good advice above: MFP doesn't allocate calories if a person logs exercises on the Strength side of the app. Calories are only allocated for things logged on the Cardiovascular side, including strength exercises logged there on a full-active-session-time basis.

    I'm old school as far as tracking strength exercise for reps/sets/weight: Tiny notebook, pen. I haven't found a phone app that suits me. My Garmin watch tries to guess the exercise and count the reps, but the results are laughable, and more work to correct than doing it a different way. Sometimes I let it track the session length.
