    I roughly burn 6 calories per minute weight training. However, you burn a lot of calories after the workout. Healing muscles burns calories.

    I add it under cardio... Only place I found to record calorie burning.
  • yea, thanks.. I think thats the only way. oh well
  • If you have a heart rate monitor that is the best thing I can think of to use. Most accurate anyways. You can go under cardio and look for strength training/weight lifting and it will give you an estimate on what you burned according to your settings. Good luck!

    As a sidenote for myself, I burn 115 cals every 15 min of heavy lifting. I wear a hrm.
  • Yes, Crystal. thats exactly what I did. Thanks
