Hi I'm Gene

I've noticed that this documentation doesn't give us the calories burned when we are strenth building. Is there a way for us to get this information? No doubt that lifting weights and using machines do use up lots of calories.

    If you search under "cardiovascular," there's an exercise called "strength training" or "resistance training" or something like that. I forget which. It will give you a reasonable estimate of what you're burning.

    Edit: I found it. It's "Strength training (weight lifting, weight training)"
