:ohwell: Does anyone have any info regarding the amount of calories you can burn while lifting weights (free weights). I see the exercises on the web page, but not what your burn.....

Any ideas?

    if you enter "strength training" under the add exercise/cardio option it will give you an estimate. You can also use this site:

    That's a hard one because it depends on how heavy you're lifting, how many sets/reps, rest periods, how long, etc... Best way to know for sure is to get a heart rate monitor. It's one of the best investments I've made.
