    Hi ,

    I am preparing for a few exams and most of the time i am in a sitting position.
    Does standing and studying help in burning calories.

    I also do an hour of cardio workout but sitting the rest of the time.

    Any advice appreciated

    With Regards,
    Deepthi.

    Hi Deepthi,

    I read this somewhere "You burn 1/2 a calorie by standing up.So stand up 100 times in a row BURNING 50 CALORIES!" :thumbsup

    Here are some estimated hourly expenditures of calories for a 150-pound person(found in a site):

    Napping -- 61
    Office work at the desk -- 122
    Sexual activity, active -- 102
    Sexual activity, moderate -- 88
    Shoveling coal -- 476
    Taking a shower -- 136
    Tap dancing -- 327
    Walking with crutches -- 340
    Washing the dog -- 238
    Watching TV -- 68
