Light strength training with dumbbells and kettlebell

I'm currently doing a home routine that's very light, using a small kettlebell and two five-pound dumbbells. I'd like to enter it in my diary, but I don't want to have to enter every single exercise/set. How can I create and use an entry that says "half-hour of assorted kettle/dumbbells, light" and then have an estimated equivalent number of calories that goes along with that? Thanks for any suggestions, and apologies if I overlooked something obvious that would allow me to do this.

    I would log it under "Calisthenics home light". Its going to be such a small amount of calories though that you might not want to bother.

    One way to know what you might be close to burning in calories is to use a heart rate monitor in relation to your weight and age and see what using the light set does to your heart rate over the course of a work out.

    Definitely calisthenics. Not strength training.
