    you have to add it under the cardio tab, not the strength training one.

    In your exercise diary (cardio tab), search for "strength training". It will show up. Click on it and type in the amt of minutes you worked out.

    As someone else mentioned, you have to add it under cardio -> strength training. It helps if you wear a heart rate monitor to figure out your calorie burn estimate for the allotted time.
