Strength Training vs. Cardio on MFP

tomcat2012

I'm new to MFP, but I find it highly discouraging that strength training doesn't count against your excercise for the day. I'm sweating up a storm. Why is cardio a calorie depleter but strength training leaves me with nothing?

The strength training section is for record keeping. Check out Cardio -> Strength Training for your estimated calorie burn.
