Did planks, leg swings.... but this app doesnt have the option. How do i put it in my diary. I dont know how much calories it would burn...so cant add it on my own either

    Plank is listed as "plank hold," and not sure what you mean by leg swings, but there's a choice of "leg raises, hanging" and "abdominal leg raise."

    Unless you are doing them for 30 minutes solid, I wouldn't even bother trying to add them into exercise.

    Or, if you really want to, just use the calisthenics entry.

    Are you tracking to see a calorie burn or just log the movements? I usually just do "weight lifting" or "stretching" pending whether I used weight or not in my work outs and log the whole time I was active. Plus cardio. Instead of each individual movement. Hope this helps!

    i like to use this site: http://www.acaloriecalculator.com/calories-burned-calculator/
    but i do agree with the above posts, those exercises really dont burn many calories
