Hi, I'm new to fitness pal. I do a weight class twice weekly. I can find nothing like this under the exercise data base. It is a good class, pretty effective light weights and a ton or reps+Plank+pushups+lunges... you get the picture. I want to enter it under weight training but need some guidance.

    I have taken some time off from dieting, exercising, etc., and have paid the price. I am getting my act back together starting today.

    But, when I do planks, pushups, etc. I log them under weight training. I also put any weight training, deadlifts, weighted lunges, barbell squats, etc., under weight training. But, I also but a entry under exercise called NROLFW and record the # of minutes I spent doing the weight training and an approximate calorie burn (using the NROLFW calculations), to give myself the credit for the calories.

    My workout consists of 25 minutes of cardio on elliptical followed by about 20 minutes of weight training and other exercises. Before I reached my weight loss goal, I counted the about half the 20 minutes of weight/exercise as cardio, being sure to keep my heart rate up by limiting rest between sets and exercises to less than 1-1/2 minutes.

    Thanks booth of you for your input, I will check out the weight training to see if this comes up. Our heart rate up during a good portion of this class so it could also be considered cardio.
