There was a question in the discussion area asking about calorie burn with weight lifting. Calorie burn is subjective to each individual and therefore will be different. It is dependent on age, amount of weight lifted, speed of reps, how many reps. Can monitor the calories burned if you have an HRM.
What I am posting here is an example of one of my light workouts due to recovering from a back injury. Most of my workout is with using the "machines".

PF Glute @ 40lbs, 25 reps, 2 sets - 4 cals burned per set
PF Chest @ 70lbs, 15 reps, 3 sets - 3.5 cals burned per set
PF Calf Ext @ 70lbs, 20 reps, 3 sets - 2.5 cals burned per set
PF Row/Deltoid @ 50lbs 15 reps, 3 sets - 4 cals burned per set
PF curl bar @ 40lbs, 15 reps, 1 set - 4 cals burned per set
PF Fly's @ 70lbs, 15 reps, 3 sets - 3.5 cals burned
PF Torso Rot @ 55lbs, 25 reps, 3 sets for right then 3 sets for left, 3 cals burned per set
PF Hip Abduction @ 60lbs, 25 reps, 3 sets - 3 cals burned per set
PF Hip Adduction @ 70lbs, 30 reps, 3 sets - 3.5 cals burned per set
PF back ext @ 70lbs, 30 reps, 3 set - 6 cals burned per set
Plank hold for 30 seconds, 2 sets - 3 cals burned per set.
There is a 30 second rest between each set. There is a small walk done between changing to different machines.
This 1 hour workout burned about 350cals and my HR Av was apprx. 100
