    I have read that standing instead of sitting at your desk burns more calories... but probably not the amount you're looking for. Every little bit helps though!

    can you throw in some extra lunges? is there anywhere you can do pushups - even using a desk or a wall? It's going to be harder to burn the calories without being able to jump/bounce etc. Is there a stairwell? You can walk up and down a few flights of stairs...

    Good luck!

    240 squats burns 72 calories? Really? Where did you get that from?

    Helping your mother-in-law with thanksgiving will probably burn that 100 calorie.

    Squats will burn more than 72 calories but because it's not an aerobic exercise some of the "exercise" databases don't include much on it. I think 240 squats will burn quite a bit more. Plus, when you're doing strength training (even with your own body weight) it will continue to burn for a few hours at a low level.

    Standing actually burns an extra 50 calories an hour. If you stand for the next two hours that's 100 calories.
    Walking in place may help.

    Stretching also burns a small amount.

    And remember that if you're going to be cooking for a few hours that will burn calories, plus cleaning up afterwards. Take small breaks cooking and do some bicep curls with cans of cranberry sauce and pumpkin filling or whatever else is handy. Just sneak it in (walk in place while stirring) Everyone is crazy busy this week so just fit it in while you can and try not to stress.

    As I understand it squats equal .096 calories burned per pound per minute.

    Run up the stairs for about 10 minutes!! I saw someone at work do this recently and she was kicking *kitten*! I would probably feel self conscious but she was rocking it haha

    Stairs? Go for 5-10 minute climbs every hour on the hour. Stand up and clean your workspace.

    You can't walk in the rain? Are you part vampire or something?

    lmao!!! love your btw!!! its a calculator i found online: http://www.livestrong.com/article/313995-calories-burned-during-squats/


    To calculate the amount of calories you burn while doing squats without additional weights, multiply your weight by .096. Take the answer and multiply it by the amount of minutes you perform the exercise. For instance, if you weigh 160 lbs. and you take 15 minutes to complete your squats, you will burn approximately 230 calories.

    Volunteer to do all of the dishes tonight, that will probably help.
    But honestly 100 calories is is like .02857 pounds, so I wouldn't worry about it too much if you just continue working rather than running up and down the stairs.

    I weigh 212. I'm almost certain I wouldn't burn 20 calories per minute doing squats. I'm sorry to sound so pessimistic but I just can't see how??
