Sometimes it feels like the whole day is spent at the computer—work, study, social media, messaging. Hardly any calorie burning, right? But the body thinks differently. What you consider a useless activity for weight loss is actually a real workout for it. Typing reports, handling business correspondence, or chatting with friends can burn about 140 kcal per hour. Add to this the energy your body uses just by sitting—yes, sitting—about 60 kcal per hour, and there’s even more reason to be happy.
