Adding weight training to diary

azolensky · April 2015

I work out with a trainer and she said my weight training is about 150-200 Cals burned. How can I add the whole session at 150 to my diary rather that each individual exercise and reps etc?

I add mine under cardio.

I also add one of the generic strength training cardio workouts. I went through the trouble of adding everything in once, but I change things up every 6-8 weeks. To much of a hassle. The cardio calories are close enough for me.

Fiddle with the time on the strength training under cardio till you get 150 calories.

Add "Strength training (weight lifting, weight training)" to Cardiovascular to get estimated Calories Burned added to your Diary. Please note that the Calories burned for Cardiovascular exercises are estimates for a general population and may differ for you as an individual. If desired, add individual strength training exercises, such as "Biceps Curl," to Strength Training to have a log of sets, reps, and weights as individual exercises.
