I added the machines I used at the gym, reps, sets, etc. How do I figure the calories burned for this? It didn't change my burn after added.

Thanks!

    Weights are very tough to measure calories burned without an armband that tracks HR/sweat/etc like a Bodybugg. Personally I just enter it as "Circuit Training."

    When I say I log weights as circuit training, I should caveat that I don't do weights in the format of "set, wait, set, wait." I go from a set of muscle group A directly into a set of muscle group B, then C, then rest maybe 20 seconds and do them all again 3x. So it does more closely resemble circuit training.
