How come when I add my reps from the Nautilus machines it does not show calories burned? When I add my cardio it always shows calories..... how do you guys enter your typical strength training on the machines at the gym?

    HRM is not accurate for strength training.

    Funny, I just read an article recently that said otherwise. Its not a huge deal as I don't eat back exercise calories, so even if my burn on strength training isn't as accurate, it doesn't affect what I do on the other end of things.

    HA! Thanks. I really do love weight training more so than cardio.
