is there a list of exercises that you can choose from? i typed in Gazelle but couldn't find it or rear leg raises either. any idea why it doesn't give you calories for doing strength exercises? i hurt my knee and can't see dr till next thurs so have only been doing upper body and abs and it doesn't log any calories for those. thanks

    Strength training is great for losing weight (increases your metabolism and conditions the muscles) but generally doesn't burn that many calories unless done without breaks. I don't know much about the Gazelle but I would assume it would be considered similar to an elliptical.

    You can log your strength training as cardio - strength training to get a rough calorie burn. As for anything that isn't listed, just pick the closest option. No idea what gazelle is so I can't help you out with what that might be

    I log my resistance training under cardio, I have worn a HRM on several occasions and came up with an average of 400 cals burned in one hours time. I move quickly and don't take breaks. If you have a HRM try it for several workouts and see what your average is.
