Strength Training Calories

I am new to the site. I entered my workout for today but the site does not appear to calculate calories for strength training. Is this correct? Do I really not burn any calories for strength training?

    You do, and MFP does track weight training calorie burn. Just input weight training into the cardio section.

    yep, it looks like the strength training section is just more for personal tracking. add weight training to the cardio section to get the burn.

    Thanks. That will also get the minutes for work-out correct as well I suspect.:wink:
