I am just wondering how everyone is adding their workouts into MFP? (like adding 15 minutes to cardio and 15 mins to strength, etc) Please let me know what everyone is doing. Thanks!!!

    I wear a heart rate monitor with a calorie expenditure readout, but if you don't have a hrm you can use MFP's "circuit training, general" as a rough estimate.

    I'm not logging the calories, just logging that I did it.

    What kind of HRM do you have? My Garmin doesn't do calories unless you are running.

    For now just as circuit training but that is only because I misplaced my HRM chest strap.

    I use a polar. It's not a current model but it's still quite a good one (can't think of the model number off the top of my head!)

    You can also add your own exercise:

    I search for JMBR
    Its not there, so on the bottom it says add an exercise
    I add it & most discs I have seen people & myself (wearing my own HRM) have been 200-250 cal per 30 mins.
    If you dont have a HRM I would just put in 200 cals & what disc.

    I also have a HRM - Polar ft4 to be exact. It's a great little tool and I highly recommend one to anyone who is trying to lose weight! I was surprised at how different MFP estimates some of the workouts I have done.

    I don't have a heart monitor so this is how I log my workouts:

    Cardio 1, 2 & 3 = Aerobics, high impact or Aerobics, general (depends if I had a good workout)

    Workout 1 thru 12 = Circuit Training, General
