Is there any benefit to logging your strength training exercises on this site other than to keep track of them. I mean they don't add to your calories, so if I track them on another site do I have to repeat them here?:indifferent:

    If you want calories burned from strength training enter "strength training" under the cardio section. Under the other section it is just to record and gauge your progress.

    I don't log in the reps and stuff because I keep track on paper but if you go into the cardio and search strength training you can log the calories burned.

    I don't use MFP for exercise logging at all, but when I did for a while, I never bothered with strength exercises. It can be helpful to keep a worksheet for your strength workouts--to track exercises, sets, weights, reps, etc. I would highly recommend doing that.
