I'm noticing that calories are added to my daily allowance for cardio but not strength training? Anyone know if there is a way to change so that strength training calories get added too? Thanks!

    Click under cardio ...that's where strength training is kept as well.

    The calorie burns from strength training are small and difficult to calculate. Most people dont bother adding it or just add 1 calorie, but if you wish to then add it as cardio as hearts said.
