Does typing online burn calories?

Yeah. Typing does burn some calories. Darkwing gave us a link on the first page of my discussion so we can figure up just how many for ourselves. I try to stay mvong while sitting here by moving my legs around and up and down. I never just sit here. I always have alot to do around the home too.

yes I said we burn some we burn calories just breathing but to lose weight, I checked several websites for you and they all say the same, it takes 3500 calories to burn off one pound, and remember if you eating all day you can't say well in a month I burned off that much to lose a pound, you have to count all your food calories that go into your body

Look on the first page of this discussion when you get a chance to. Darkwing posted a link for us and it calculates how many calories we burn per hour typing. It is for each individual person with their age, weight, etc.

Yes. We do burn calories while typing. I never sit here for two hours at a time though because I always have alot of work to get done around the house also. Check out page one and see the link that Darkwing provided for us to calculate how many calories we do burn by typing.

That is what I always thought too but was wandering just how many for typing. Darkwing posted a link for us on page one of this discussions and you can calculate it for yourself. It asks about each individual person with their age, weight, etcetera.

Thanks. Yea I saw the link and my husband and I were looking at some of the calories you can burn for certain activities.

I try to work at the computer and get other things done around the house too but alot of times i am sitting her working and always thinking about food, it seems. I need to find something to do to stop thinking about food while working at home online. Maybe I will try to chew more gum again.

LOL. I don't sit for 15 hours and type. I am a wife and a mother and have lots of other things to do while I am working online. Typing does burn a few calories and that is nice to know because I need all of the exercise I can get and earn all at the same time with all of my websites.

Darkwing gave us a calculator to use above. Try it out with your very own information. We do burn calories while typing. I don't have any ankle weights but i do try to move my legs while sitting here before I run out of energy after working on and offline for 15 hours a day LOL. Whewww. It doesn't sound crazy to me. I do it myself too.

Visit the first page of my discussion. Darkwing gave us all a site to go to calclulate what we burn for each person and job we do. I have a desktop computer so it is hard for me to stand and work with it.

Yeah. I have done those exercises too while sitting here. Darkwing posted a link for all of us to use on the first page. It is a calculator for each person and each job you do. check it out if you want to.

LOL. same here. there is no place to put my keyboard or I would give it a try while waiting for the pages to load on my lovely dialup.

That would be hard to accomplish at least for me anyhow but I have used a thighmaster which is great for toning those thighs and arms and easy to do and to do while pages or loading or searching. Also is you have a office chair that swivels then you can hold onto desk and swish back and forth it is supposed to help the waistline, and while pages are loading you can sit in chair and do stretch and toe touches.. it all adds up though and does burn calories. The thighmaster is a good investment. also to tone arms wear weight bands for wrist that burns calories..

Visit the website link that Darkangel gave us on the first page of this discussion. You can go there and choose the type of owrk you do and it will calcaulate what you burn per hour per individual.

Yeah, well I don't think you can burn enough to lose weight though, but good site..

We actually burn alot more calories than what we think, by typing. Darkwing posted a link for us to calculate just how many we burn. It is on the first page of this discussion.

Yeah. Darkwing posted a link that takes us to a site that tells us how many calories we burn while typing. I guess it all dpends on how fast we type also. I always try to get up and move around throughout the night while working online. there is always other things to be done around the home also.

ok...but it should be less...

That is a very good question. I wander also how fast we have to type and does it have to be steady or can there be breaks in between while moving on to the next page or task. Darwing gave us a calculator above. Choose the activity and put in your own information and calculate it for yourself. It is different for each of us with age etc.
