Muscle and Yoga Workouts

I like to do a muscle & yoga workout on wii fit plus for 17 minutes - however, I only know how many calories I burn for the whole routine (muscle and yoga) - how should I log this in my exercise diary? Until now, I've just been recording it as cardio - which it obviously isn't - and I would rather record it as strength training.

Another thing - should I do my strength training before or after a cardio workout?

    Whichever one you do second, your going to have less energy for. So if you do strength first you may not be able to last as long in cardio and vise versa. For me strength training is about being strong, so I would do it first and feel like I've had a good warm up for the cardio.

    You can record it as anything you want =P
    That's really only useful for personal tracking and can modify calories burned as you wish.

    I personally do my cardio on alternating days. I've found I'm too drained after lifting to put any decent effort in and vice versa.
