I work with a trainer for 30 minutes but I can't figure out a way to enter it as strength training rather than individual exercises. Anyone know how and can help me?

    When I worked out with my trainer (Mel), he told me that we burned approx 600 cal in a 50 min session. So that would be about 12 cal / min. so 360 for a 30 min session... ?? I added it to 'my exercises' as "mel workout" in strength training.

    Search for strength training or weight lifting under the cardio section and it will give you a calorie value.

    it might be estimated by your metabolic rate, weight and total active time...instead of how long you were at the gym. Being as accurate as possible with basically, a guess.

    I work with a personal trainer once a week. I wear a HRM during my session. Under cardio I created an exercise & titled " Working session with a personal trainer" which I log the burn under. I am also very detail oriented and have logged each individual strength exercise under the strength category. If it is not there, I will usually create it like we use the TRX resistance bands and it is not in the database.
