Have you seen these? They're pretty interesting. I burn something like 1.1 to 1.3 calories per hour when I'm sitting at my desk. We've been going out on walks this last week, and I burn 6-8 calories per hour while walking. Standing is a little over 2 cal/hr. We've been thinking about the treadmill desk thing... I wonder what kind of calorie burn you get with that. We've found the BB really motivating. Taking an activity like desk work and turning it into some subtle movement is exactly the kind of lifestyle change that adds up in the long run.
