strength training vs calories burned

martincrca · August 2012

A little help would be great ... when I input cardio information it calculates for me automatically calories burned but when I input strength training (like curls, shoulder press, etc) it just logs the exercise without showing any calorie output ... did I miss something?

Yep. Under the cardio tab, there is an entry for strength training. The sets and reps info is for you to track progress.

yeah, i JUST found out that there is a 'strength training' option to choose from in the database under 'Cardio' TODAY! LOL....so from now on i'll be counting the minutes i spend strength training in the cardio section along with all my cardio!

Very helpful, just curious if anyone knows how it calculates the calories?
