When we log strength training why does it not show a change in calories burned? :huh: I am busting my but and breaking a sweat calories are being burned so what's up does anyone know?

    In order to reflect calories burned you also have to log it under cardio as strength training. Logging it under the strength training portion is more or less just for you to keep a log of your reps/weight you worked with, for progress reasons.

    Thank you so much that makes sense.
