    Well lifters don't lift for calorie burns in a session. That is not why you lift weights.

    Next to impossible to track. Heart rate monitors, etc are not designed to track this activity.

    If you want a very rough guesstimate....log it under cardio.

    Not a good idea to log it under cardio. It is not a cardio activity. Just don't worry about it.

    There is strength training if you look under cardio. I log it as an incentive but don't eat back the calories.

    either log it as "strength training" under the cardio tab, or better yet, if you are consistent 3+ days/week change your activity to the next level up (if sedentary, change to light active), and don't log it or log it as one cal in the cardio section.
