    You have to log it under cardio. Don't know why. I had the same problem when I first got on this site. :bigsmile:

    You log under cardio. The strength section is to track your exercises and weights.

    select "strength training" under cardio exercises and then also add each thing you do for strength training...

    Get a chest strap heart rate monitor. Wear it when you work out. You'll know how many calories you burn. I have a Polar FT7, cost is about $100

    Big 5 Sporting Goods has one on sale this week for about $30, different brand
