I just entered a new strength exercise, Abs & Glutes Class, and it won't let me enter the calories burned during that 30 minute class. Did I miss something?

    I can't recall the exact reason, but whenever you enter a strength exercise, calories aren't indicated. Maybe enter it into the Cardiovascular group where you can enter Calories. :o)

    Strength training is an option under cardio, no idea why the actual strength training part doesn't deduct calories or why anyone would even use it.

    Pretty sure the strength training section is more for keeping track of weight used, lifts performed and sets/reps for each workout. And it's also really really difficult to determine calories burned during lifting sessions as it tends to be highly individual, so it just doesn't track them.
