Why is it that the exercise diary doensn't show calories burned with Strength Training? Am I doing somehing wrong?

I added a "strength Training" exercise to my cardiovascular exercise diary and input the calories burned based on my heart rate monitor there. Am I a cheater? :glasses:

    You have to add it as cardio. That being said, i would put in the calories you know or you calculated that you burned. i stoped relying on what came up here and put in what my eliptical machine said and the calorie calculator i found on Bodybuilding.com for my weight training to try to ensure i was getting the most accurate info into this system i could.
