Why doesn't strength training account for calories burned if by the end I'm sweating BAD!?? I understand that cardio burns more, but saying that strength burns nothing is bull... Thoughts?

    You log it under Cardio.
    The "Strength" section is just for keeping track, so you don't have to keep a notepad in the gym with you.

    Good question, I tried to record 30min abs class last night and it seems to count for nothing. I’m glad I also climbed.

    This. I always log it as time spent and it will account for the calories.
