Simple Squat question...

Jizes318

Doing squats obviously is great for toning up your bottom end, but my question is if I do squats and I do the 0.096 per pound per minute calorie loss do I add that to Cardio?

Cardio is the only place I can track my calories burned.. in strength training it just records my reps etc. Can anyone help me better understand?

For instance I am 161x0.096 = 15.456 calories a minute.

enter Strength training into the cardio section and put your time and you can change the cals to your number instead of what MFP estimates.

I don't know if this helps, but I log ALL exercise under Cardio. If I am burning calories I want it to go against the calories I am consuming. So I label my exercises as Yoga, Zumba, Cross Fit, etc. It also helps that I wear a HRM that calculates calories burned.
