    You can always enter your own information.

    I just log this as calisthenics, because sit-ups burn more calories than crunches.

    Type in crunches and abdominal crunches should come up. Or just type in abdominal crunches. I just did it and it worked for me.

    If you log them under strength training exercises, 'Abdominal Crunches' is an option available. If you're trying to log under the cardio option, I would say your best bet is to add your own exercise so it gets saved and you can just check the box each time you do them. The best way to calculate what you burn is with a HRM that tracks calories. There are lots of factors such as using proper form, the speed at which you do them, the type of crunches, whether you do them after something like running or just do them starting cold, etc etc...it varies from person to person. Hope this helps!
