I'm starting to incorporate strength training in my workouts and was wondering, do people log those as calories burned? I was leaning toward just logging my cardio, since I'm doing both. Does it matter?

    I log my strength training... I always burn almost as many calories strength training as I do with cardio, per my HRM.

    There is a strength training portion in the cardio logging. I usually burn quite a bit (according to my HRM or BodyMedia) and just log as cardio. I keep track of my actual moves in a notebook. :)

    Under cardio, strength training.
    I alternate using that and "circuit training" though depending.

    If i just leisurely lift weights, strength training, if i superset and keep rest short, circuit training.

    I log it just so I have a record of what I did and my progress, but I don't have a HRM so no real way to track calories burned from it.
