    there is "strength training, weight lifting" in cardio part+elliptical training is count as this. I do strength trianing 50% now, but log it mostly to cardio

    I never logged my strength training as I never had HRm before! just got one few days ago! so I think for strength training we should log it as well! I agreed with Mashenka :)

    I select "Strength Training" under cardio and just take what MFP suggests as I'm not looking for perfection since it's so little (I wear a HRM for cardio, though).

    For example, a 20min session comes up at 71cal, and if I consider the effort I put in but also the rest between sets (although I may be doing sit-ups or a plank in between), I think it's a fair assessment.

    this is what I do. If you are lifting you have to be burning some calories.
