exercise question

Hi all. This is my first day on this and my new diet. So far so good. But I cannot figure out how to enter exercises?? I type in abdominal crunches and it tells me it is already there, but I cannot get it recorded. Has anyone experienced this?
Thanks! Barb

    You need to log it under "cardio" I believe. It is not a great calorie burn.

    I enter my cardio exercise (numbers are generally vastly over so I take the cal burn number from the elliptical or bike, divide by 3, and use that) but not my strength training. Strength training (and things like ab workouts) are very important health-wise, but are not worth much calorie-wise. In my opinion, better to not enter them and have a slightly better deficit than overestimate and end up overeating.
