    The treadmill you can add as cardio and then jogging. Not sure about the cross trainer.

    I have found that the strength / weight portion of MFP doesnt work very well.
    The best thing is to get a HRM watch and then just keep track of your calories burned.
    Then enter any workouts as cardio. There is a strength training under cardio. Choose that.
    Input your time spent and calories burned. This will also add back calories that you can eat on your daily diet plan.
    Hope this helps and good luck.

    I enter time on the cross trainer as elliptical...not sure if it's right though!

    As someone has already said too, log the treadmill as jogging, you should be able to work out your pace pretty easy based on the speed you run at on the treadmill.
