    My old dorm roommate from college used to stay up all night doing this while playing World of Warcraft. It was pretty much nonstop and always really hard ... It would drive me crazy!








    Oh, I thought we were talking about mouse clicking...

    Being a card carrying expert in this area, you gotta get the big muscles involved just like any other cardio for a good burn

    Think thighs and *kitten*. Lots of squats and thigh work.

    I'm sure there are various apparati that could be used in an effective manner to achieve both goals. I imagine something knee high that can really get those thighs burning using a dipping motion. A small stool or ottoman could be used in conjunction as well as long as the thighs are doing the work and you're not resting on your knees

    Now your heart rate is what the HRM uses to calculate your burn in conjunction with your height, age, and weight. So in theory the faster your heart is beating for a sustainable period of time, the higher the HRM will reflect a burn.

    However, since heart rates are typically higher during exciting periods that aren't due to exercising, that burn would be inaccurate but the other thing would still be fun.

    Good luck and don't use anything that may have splinters.

    these are very good suggestions....

    If you want to burn more calories, be creative. Do it while standing on one leg, do squats, maybe try to incorporate some yoga poses. And make sure to take pictures :)

    I'm sure that if this is a daily activity, it would be covered in your TDEE and you would, therefore not need to track it. Just mark your lifestyle as active and you should be good to go.

    double entendre. Not only because the activity often takes place in front of a computer screen, but also in the motion occasionally made by the other hand. :blushing:

    Thanks everyone again for the responses! I particularly like the ideas on how to burn more calories and utilize more muscles.

    Hey, ANY motivation to exercise is good for me at this point!

    Must be an Americanism?

    I heard it used in American Pie once

    For some reason in the UK it gets called a Kit-Kat Shuffle!

    I just refer to it as "having a little fumble" :happy:

    If bashing the bishop was a good way to burn calories there would be no fat teenage boys...
