When I enter things like biceps curls and other weight lifting, toning and strength training activities, it doesn't add up any calories burned. What's up with that?

    In the data base you can put it under strength training and put in the minutes to tell you the calories burned :smile:

    The calories you burn lifting weights is minimal You really never increase you heart rate with resistance training. That's no reason to not lift. when you add muscle you increase the efficiency of burning calories

    I put mine under circuit training in the Cardio section instead of the Strength Training section, along with the time and cals burned from my HRM.
