    Enter it under cardio, and select strength training.

    Thanks! I've been looking for a way to have it count towards calories too. It may not be 100% accurate but at least it can work as an estimate for how many calories were burnt. Now if only I had a HRM. :P

    HRM ain't going to help you with strength training. MFP is probably closer to the truth.

    Ah, okie dokie. I'll take your word for it then. I probably will want to invest in a HRM for my cardio days, but if my gym equipment can tell me my heart rate, could I just use that instead? I could save some money that way right?
