Help Please... I'm trying to add strength exercises to MFP. I manually created the exercises I want but it won't acknowledge them. If I choose an exercise from the database it wants to know for how many minutes. How do you choose minutes when you are doing 4 different exercises 4x each at 12 to 15 reps? I could say 45 min for a complete back, arm, chest or leg workout, but I'm working different parts. Stressed and confused :(

    Under cardio log it as strength training. The calories will likely not be accurate but that's how it is done. The strength training section is just for tracking.

    Yep, I log it as strength training under cardio. Then in Exercise Notes I put in what I worked that day. Like today was arms, chest, back and shoulders plus cardio. My calories burned for weights in My Fitness Pal is pretty much on track with my polar watch with chest strap information.
