Help calculating calories for general strength training?

I don't want to log each individual exercise. Is there a general strength training category that I can plug in the total time spent on a variety of exercises and get an approximation of how many calories were burned?

How do you figure it out, especially if you're always switching up your routine?

    There is "strength training" in the cardio exercise database. Log your minutes just like any other workout.

    There is?!! Well don't I feel dumb....I didn't look there because I didn't think it would be under cardio. Thanks!
