I am doing body weight exercises from the book "You are your own gym" and the women's version by the same author which I forget the name of at the moment. The moves have funny little names like "Let me ups" and such. I am not sure what I should log for these under my exercise tab. Anyone else doing these moves have a suggestion?

    The closest equivalent would be either dumbell or barbell rows. Or you could put them down as calisthenics under cardio.

    You can create your own exercises. Go to Exercise --> My Exercises. There is a green button on the right "CREATE EXERCISE". click on that and put in all your info. It won't go into the main database, but will stay in your own personal list :)

    calistenics is going to give much too high of a burn rate. just enter it under cardio>strength training.

    I use strength training and then adjust the burn if I think I worked harder or less intense.
