Hi there! I'm sure this has been asked a trillion times, but how does everyone log their weight training workouts? I'm a pro at logging cardio but now that I'm trying to get serious about actually doing some weight training, I wanted to know how everyone else did it. Any input you have is much appreciated!

    I log all workouts into fitbit and since the accounts are linked it adjusts my calories through out the day

    Go into the cardio section - search "strength training" - log it just as you would anything else. The calories will probably be way off since strength training is much harder to calculate than cardio and you have so many stop and starting, etc...

    I add strength training under cardio to get my exercise minutes. For the actual exercises,sets,reps, weight...I have a notebook that i keep track in.

    Under the cardio section, I log it as "circuit training"... but I don't bother with the cals burned since I don't log them. It does shoot out an estimate when you put in the time, but I enter 1 as my calories burned.

    I log it under MFP -strength training, that way I can keep track of what machines I've worked on, at what weight, and how many reps I did. The downfall is that I don't get much credit for calories burned, but I wouldn't know how to figure it accurately anyways..
