working a concession stand at a college basketball game? I stood the entire time (1:30 until 6:00) with some time stooping, bending, and walking back and forth. The only two things in the database are fishing and playing in a rock and roll band!
Thanks!

    I've found a lot of additional exercises at this link - http://www.fitday.com/webfit/burned/calories_burned.html

    Standing would be under the Occupation category. I hope this helps!

    This is another burn calculator and they have a ton of activities, it seems like anything you could think of to log, including sex. Everyone can thank me later. Hahahaha!

    I wouldn't record that at all. Standing in itself doesn't burn that many calories.

    I've worked concession stands and it's not a huge burner. Just take the "bonus."

    I would consider standing part of normal day to day activities rather than exercise to log.

    I wouldnt even log it, if im not sweating I don't count it because it fits with my lightly active/very active I selected at the begining for my daily activities...but that is just me and that seems to work okay :-)

    I would look for light walking or something like that, i used to work in consession stands and it is a lot of work!
