Strength Training

So I noticed whenever I log in my weight training or mat exercises there isn't a system for calories burned during these exercises.

I know I am burning calories during my 20-30 min sessions of strength training but I am not sure how to account for these burned calories on the site. Any suggestions?

    You can track your strength training under cardio if you’d like to account for the calories burned. To add under cardio you can create your own with calorie burned estimates or using an HRM or chose Calisthenics. Doing under the strength training option is mostly used for people who want to track their reps, weights etc to see their progress. And, since the second option does not affect your calories, you can do both if both are important for you.
