Calculating calorie burn for weight training

Hello, I am a short female and was wondering how do calculate the calories burned from strength training work outs? Do I need a heart rate monitor? And if so which one is the best that you have encountered?

Many Thanks in advance.

    Strength training isn't a big calorie burner and HRM's aren't accurate because most strength training doesn't get your heart rate into the range where they become accurate.
