    If the latter gets your pulse going, I'm sorry you have such a sad sex life.

    My understanding is everything you do burns calories. Even watching TV, it just it doesn't burn as much as getting up and going for a walk! While sleeping you're burning calories, as you are still breathing and heart is still beating these both need energy!

    Sure, if you're doing it while walking on the treadmill.

    Or listening to an audiobook while jogging.

    I read somewhere that studying burns very litlle calories, but get's you more hungry than working out... Beware of the books!
