    For calories you have to log it under cardio.

    I do what Rhonda does. My strength workout is typically a circuit (superset actually), so I log my weight training in cardio as a circuit workout.

    I log it as cardio too --- but if everyone is doing that to track calories -- why does it exist under strength?
    What do people use it for there? Just to see their progress or what?

    Thank you for asking the question and for the answers. I was trying to figure this out this weekend. I hadn't thought to look under cardio.
