Q Why does the Fitness Tracker not calculate calories burned through strength training?

A Although you will burn calories from strength training, that number is going to vary widely from person to person. It will depend on how much weight you are using, how many sets/reps you are doing, how much rest you take in between sets and how hard you are working. Therefore any estimates would not be reliable. Just consider this to be an extra bonus to your weekly goals!

Circuit training is in the Fitness Tracker, since it is both a cardio and strength training workout. Click here for a description of circuit training.
