    It does, but you enter it under cardio as strength training. It does not give you a lot though.

    Its hard to estimate how many calories you burn when hitting the weights because the muscles continue to burn calories after you finish your workout-

    I wear my heart rate monitor when doing my cardio and weight training and count my calories as a total and not split them up-

    I post mine under cardio but as Circuit Training! My routine is a circuit full body (upper/lower) workout without any rest for one to two hours!! Yes it is cardio!!!! Best wishes and KEEP at it!!!
