I'm not sure why the calories burned from cardio are considered, but not any calories or time spent in the gym doing weight training. I log my weight training but it does not add to my goals for the week............

    You have to add your weight training to cardio AND strength training in order to track your reps and the calories burned.

    I tried adding the weight training to the cardio section but it asks for calories burned - how do I figure that out?

    Under cardio - choose strength training (weight lifting) this will allow you to put in a time.
