Hi, Im brand new to this app and am so far loving it. When I input my stregnth training it doesnt show anything as far as calories burned. Am I supposed to do something further

    To earn the calories burned, enter the strength training under cardiovascular.

    Search for: Strength Training (weight training, weight lifting)

    Hope that helps :)

    There is also a "circuit training" option under cardio as well as strenght training. I think the calories burned in that category are more accurate if you are keeping your heart rate up continuously while doing different muscle groups.
