How do you enter strength exercises?

I'm very confused. Been doing crunches, squats and other arm exercises with weights (at home), and I'm clueless how many calories it burns. Probably not much, and I probably won't enter it anyway, just curious really if it burns anything at all.

Also, what does 'repetitions' mean?

    If you want to get a calorie burn look under strength training in the cardio section. It will give you a calorie burn for the time period that you worked out but it's not very accurate so be wary.

    Repetitions are the number of times you completed that exercise. For example if you did 30 crunches then that would be 30 repetitions.

    It burns some calories over what you would have burned sitting on the couch but probably not enough to worry about. The idea of strength training is to build muscle which in turn burns more just in every day life.
