Strength Training

I'm trying to burn up some calories, can anyone tell me why this tracker doesn't track calories burned from strength training? Also, can someone recommend a site that can tell me how many calories each of my strength training excercises burns?

    There is a category for strength training under cardio exercises.

    You just have to do it by the duration. I wear a heart rate monitor so I have a pretty good idea from that and manually enter it.

    enter "strength training" in the cardio section for a rough estimate of calories burned. The strength training section is just for you to track you progress.
