How many calories are burnt in an average 40 minute strenght/weight training session?

Depends on many factors. Lifting is hard to estimate

You can log it under cardio though if you search it :]

Umm, well that depends on way too many factors. What my Mom would burn, compared to what I will burn in our own separate sessions, or even the same exact lifts are COMPLETELY different figures. I have to wear a Heart Rate Monitor to tell me what I burn.

Thanks guys, the reason i'm asking is because I never factor in my calorie burn during weight training, it's pretty intensive though. I normally run 5 times a week and so far thats the only calorie burn i've been monitoring.

I actually do not log my strength training calories burned either. It is part of my regular routine so eh xD
Plus HRMs can help, but can have a big error when strength training unfortunately
