    I don't know any but I have seen this question asked many times on here. If you search it you will probably find something useful. Sorry thats all the help I have.

    bicep curls, shoulder presses, overhead tricep extensions, quad extensions, get a pilates ring and squeeze bt your knees, etc. etc.

    there are many many ways to work out while seated. Check out your local YMCA for chair fitness classes.

    ^^^ this is about the best reply...

    I am interested why you would want or need to be seated in order to burn calories?
