    I never aim to burn X amount of calories--I just workout. But if I did want to I guess I'd do a quick circuit of something like squats, jumping jacks, push-ups, mountain climbers, crunches, "jump-rope," and tricep dips or donkey kicks for 1 minute each and repeat x 2.

    That's not the way I roll and it's not a very healthy mindset. I workout...I have set fitness objectives and a routine...I consistently practice that routine. There is no reason to go out doing some unplanned exercise or whatever just because you think you need to burn an extra 100 calories because you did something "naughty"...really, that is the road to a really bad relationship between yourself, food, and fitness...

    Ya this approach to exercising is not going to help you very much in the long run, but if it's just a weird thing to keep you netting well for the day, I dunno, try jogging for like 10 minutes.

    I just sit on my butt for about an hour, hour and a half. That usually does it.

    If I go to the gym or go to "exercise" it's for a training goal. "Burn calories" is not a training goal.... it's something my body does by itself.

    Ten minutes of walking up and down stairs. I try to do this a few times a day just to get the blood circulating and to prevent falling asleep at my desk.

    Jump rope.

    Where extra weight, it'll be even faster.

    If you do it indoors and hit lamps and ceiling lights and picture frames, the clean up can easily add another 100.
