I like to do strength training ex. 10 min traeadmill and 8 to 10 different upperbody or lower body workouts (different days) within a 50min period. I entered the strenght training in the MFP but there are no burned calories calculated. I burned a lot of calories when doing these exercise because the sweat is on. Do I need to be concerned about burned calories when doing strength workouts or just keep my focus of the cardio calories burned.

That's a great question. I do strength training twice a week right now and have been entering it into my exercise as well. Interested to know myself.......0

search "strength training" in the cardio section for an estimate of calories burned lifting weights0

I agree with you about this. I wish there was a way to calculate the calories burned during a strength training workout as well. In addition to my daily cardio of 35-40 minutes, I also do one muscle group per day on my Bowflex trainer. For example I will do 10 sets of 12-15 repetitions. I wish there was a way to calculate the calories burned while doing these exercises as well.0

I would suggest getting a heart rate monitor that counts calories, it would probably be more accurate than the counter on here.0
