Just A Little Bit...

Members Were Sparked

Having a desk job makes staying active hard. I found that bouncing my legs under the desk or wiggling my foot is an easy way to exercise just a little bit!

HEREEVES - I have always thought wiggling a foot would help burn calories, but a lot of people told me I was crazy that it wouldn't burn enough to matter. Guess what... Dr. Oz even talked about doing that. He called it "The Fidget Factor" and below is what he says along with a link.

"The Fidget Factor
While it may drive your coworkers and family crazy, drumming your fingers or tapping your feet is a great way to burn calories. Scientists have discovered that “non-exercise activity thermogenesis” can burn 100 calories a day. That’s a fancy way of referring to bouncing your legs while you sit, pacing when you’re on the phone, and so on. All of which adds up to over 10 lost pounds a year!"
