Curious why all the weight lifting exercises in the data base show 0 calories burned?

    I do some weights at the gym, do a search under Cardio for Strength training/weight lifting, it's wrong but that's where I found it

    Go to Cardio and log Strength Training

    Glad you asked. I found out a 180 pound guy can expect to burn 250 calories an hour if there is a lot of resting between sets and different lifting stations. If there is little/no resting then 400 or so calories an hour. Course this doesn't apply to me since I am bigger, but still interesting.

    Yeah, I had the same problem but found it under Cardio. Not sure why it's there instead of where people would naturally look for it.
