Is this considered calisthenics or just strength training?

So for the past couple of weeks I've been doing a strength training routine Circuit style) but it has very little cardio in it. I do my cardio later in the day and do the strength training (calisthenics) in the morning. The routine takes me about 15 minutes to do and I'm usually sweating when i'm done but don't know what my heart rate is (I don't have my HRM yet). but I don't think it's very high. I don't know what i should be marking it as for exercise...strength training or calisthenics. This is my circuit routine...

1 rep (10)- push ups
1 rep (20 each side)- cross stomach crunches
1 rep (20) - arm lifts over chest laying on back with weights
1 rep (20) - reverse sit ups
1 rep (30 seconds)- jumping jacks
1 rep (10)- push ups
1 rep (20 each leg) - kneeling leg kicks/backwards leg lifts
1 rep (20 each side)- cross stomach crunches
1 rep (30 seconds) - jump rope (with no rope)
1 rep (10)- push ups
1 rep (20 each leg) - kneeling leg kicks/backwards leg lifts
1 rep (20) - reverse sit ups
1 rep (20) - arm lifts over chest laying on back with weights
1 rep (10)- push ups


When i mark it as calisthenics, it says I've burnt 170 calories. would i really burn that many calories doing this routine for 15 minutes?
