    I read in Prevention that you burn 8 calories for every minute of strength training.

    Ok that helps a bit...
    So I estimated
    96 for the strenght training and 65 for 6 mins of jump roping

    161 cls lost
    Does that sound right? I have to time myself again to see how long it act takes.... I rest for 30 secs to a min in between....

    The easiest way to count your calories is to get a heart rate watch or monitor that also counts your calorie burn. I got one at Walmart for abou $45 and it works great for me. My estimate based on my own workouts would be between 350-450 calories but that also depends on your weight and height and how high you get your pulse rate. Again, I think the watch or heart rate monitor is the easier way to go.
