Hi,

Just joined this site on the recommendation of a friend. Have recorded my training done today, but most of it was strength training and this doesn't appear to count against the calories burned - is this right or am i doing something wrong?:blushing:

Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Log "strength training" in the cardio section for a rough estimate of calories burned.

    Ah, thanks. I will be doing more CV work as I get back into training regularly, but do like to keep on top of the strength/ toning too.

    I'll give this a go.

    Cheers.

    I've been wondering this same thing. So should I still eat my strength training calories?

    I log everything under cardio and have it boken down in 3 groups Circuit training, Aerobic & Yoga cuz i figure all excersies or workouts break down into pretty much those 3.
