    Well if losing calories is the main focus, then chew on a sugar free gum and fidget ... as silly as it sounds, tapping your foot or hands with a certain tempo burns through calories and next thing you know - you can have that portion of food!

    What's the estimated calorie burn on that?
    1000 calories

    You can also work ur pelvic floor muscles and ur tummy muscles whilst sat at ur desk - all of which help core strength.
    And a good few bum squeezes to tone the glutes .....

    Just a few little ideas ....

    I do leg lifts under my desk, I hold them out for a few seconds, tightening my abs, and then start lifting each one. I also cross my arms infront of me and slightly twist side to side a few times a day, again tightening my abs. then I hold my arms out and do small circles until I feel a slight burn in my shoulders....then I do large circles. I stretch every time I go to the bathroom.

    ooh I like these suggestions ! not so obvious as well. in fact as I type I am holding my legs out straight in front of me but I find it hard to tighten my abs at the same time...feel so unco.
