How many calories do you burn in your average gym session
Question in the title really? I don't have time to do more than an hour in the gym 3-4 times a week. According to the machines I am burning 200 calories in an hour.

Exercises at the Desk?
I work in the city and am sitting down practically 7 hours a day. I am going back to the gym 2-3 times a week but I just wondered if anyone had any ideas for some inconspicuous desk exercises?
