Hi, I use Strava app on my phone and on my apple watch. I would like to ask why I am not seeing the calories burned during strength training. Same thing on the bike ride. Weight added.

So I double-checked (I’m using AW too) and my strength trainings do include calories; it should mean it's just a matter of configuration. Let's try a couple of things.

 

When you say “weight added” - make sure it's updated both in your Strava profile settings as well as in Apple Health. 


Also: what if you try recording a short testing activity via the AW Workout app (i.e. not directly via Strava), and sync it to Strava afterwards? Are the calories included then? (Note - not suggesting this as a solution, rather to rule out possible causes.)

 

And lastly - you say  you don't see calories for bike rides and strength trainings. Does that mean that other types of activities do include the calories information?

Just to cover the basics - does the activity recording include also the heart rate data?
