How to log a core fitness class?

xokma

I took a core fitness class today & I have no way to log it into MFP! There's nothing under core, strength training, floor exercises or toning. Anyone have an idea ?

I have had a similar problem in that MFP doe not count any calories for strength training. I can log it in, but it does't count for calories.

I found this on a website:

Calories Burned During 8-Minute Abs

Eight-minute abs is a type of weight training workout in which body weight is being used as resistance. The American Council on Exercise's Physical Activity Calculator estimates that a 150-lb. person burns 27 calories during eight minutes of normal intensity weight training. Someone with higher body mass would burn more calories for the same bout of exercise. For example, a 200-lb. person would burn 36 calories.

Thanks Deisha, It's a good place to start!

I've worn my heart rate monitor during a 30 min. class at our gym and burn around 100 calories. I'm 5'3" and about 137 lbs. if that helps.
xokma, I love your picture!
