How many calories can you burn...

Wondering how many calories could be burned standing for 6 straight hours, with minimal walking. Any general idea? I'm 5'11 186 lbs. trying to figure out what to enter for today.

Personally I wouldn't log that as extra calories burned.

Is it like for cashier work or something? I used to stand like 12 straight hours sometimes for my old job at a gas station but I wouldn't have logged it as exercise, maybe just as a higher rating than sedentary on my daily movement.

If it does not pump your heart up it's not exercise

Eh oh well, I won't log it, no biggie, i hardly ate today anyway.

HRM is not meant to be worn all day. Your results will be very inaccurate. I would bump your activity level from sedentary to active rather than trying to log it. You are going to have a very difficult time getting any accurate idea of what you are burning.

Don't log it, keep within your calorie goal and be pleasantly surprised if you hit your weekly goal a bit early. The extra calories burned are probably very minimal.

Also, get a nice foot massage. Six hours is a long time to stand.
