    The strength training entry is hilariously low for anyone doing more than a relaxing workout with pink dumbbells.

    The high effort calisthenics is a better approximation (still low for many) for the calorie burn of strength training. About 2/3 of what you can burn in a similar time doing steady state cardio.
