    Stick that exercise in your diary, but put it under "cardio", in the search box, type "weights" - then it gives a calorie burn.

    Be careful what it give though as it is an estimate only.

    Alternatively, if you want a more accurate number of calories consider investing in a heart rate monitor - great investment! make sure it comes with a chest strap though!
