I like to multitask with just about everything I do, so burning calories is no exception to this rule. When I brush my teeth or blow dry my hair, for instance, I'm doing squats, LOL. I do the more routine tricks, too, like taking stairs rather than elevator, parking far away from the building instead of circling the parking lot for 10 minutes just to get a spot close to the door, etc.

What little things do you do through the day to keep the blood flowing and the calories burning?

    Oh, I also do high knee lifts when I'm doing the dishes. LOL

    when watching movies or tv with the fam I turn on the wii fit free step, or bounce on a stability ball.

    I sometimes jog in place while I brush my teeth. I also park far away, both for fitness and to protect my car from dings.

    I wish there were things I could do while at my desk at work. Suggestions?

    Get a yoga ball to sit on instead of a chair. You might look like the office dope, but you'll be strengthening your core while the rest of the office chubbies sit around getting fatter and weaker ;)
