App to track wight lifting / cal burn that tie into fitbit

[frappe1417]

I was wondering if anyone knows if there is an application that you can input your wight lifting routine, and weights use, reps, sets and it will calculate cal burn and tie into fitbit.  If so can you please post thank you

MyFitnessPal has such a feature, though I haven't used it. Here is what the interface looks like:

Sadly that is for tracking only.

It does no calorie burn estimate. You still have to go in to the cardio section to log Strength Training there.

If your lifting is reps 5-15 with sets and rests of 2-4 min, use Weights on Fitbit.

If reps up to 20 and rests less than 1 min but still heavy for you, use circuit training.

If body weight only and minimal rests and lots of reps, use calisthenics.

All those are in the Fitbit database. And while they are all less than cardio of equal time, they will be more than what Fitbit saw and gave, and better estimate.

I wore my fitbit during Circuit Training and then tried to add a log to my FitBit but I am wondering if I am double counting.

What is the best way to include all calories but not double count?

Merely enter the correct start time and duration to cover the total period of the Circuit Training.

Now, what I'll do if the lifting goes longer than I know it should because of extra talking or waiting for equipment, is log the whole time but with the calorie burn for the normal expected short time.

So if normally is 200 calories for 40 min and I went to 60 min with distractions, I'll log the whole 60 as 200 calories.

Whatever you manually log replaces whatever calories Fitbit estimated for the start time/duration you enter - so only double (or some extra) counting would be if you messed up am/pm or got the time really off.

When you go to log an exercise or activity - type in Weights - there it is.

Start time and duration - it'll give you calorie burn with better estimate than device is going to figure out.

But it's not for actually tracking anything to with weight training, nothing in the program does that - hence this topic and desire to find an app to do it.
