does this burn calories?

Question

this is a probably a stupid question but im curious.........

does doing little things like moving you fingers, arms, legs, and doing things like typing burn calories?

thanks

how about things like writing, typing, brushing teeth...

Answer 1

Yes - any movement uses energy, and any time we use energy, we burn calories. We are always using energy (for breathing, circulation, digestion, etc.) We even burn calories in our sleep!

Small movements like moving your fingers, typing, etc. do not burn significant amounts, however. Think of it this way - you'd have to spend hundreds of minutes typing to burn the same number of calories that you would walking across the room.

Answer 2

Moving your fingers burns very few if you're sitting down, moving your arms and legs depending what muscles you are using can burn calories, running or playing sports are very good at burning calories, the best thing to do is lower your calorie intake.

Answer 3

Not a stupid question. I have wondered that myself. I don't think it will burn any more calories than that of your basic life processes, like breathing for example, or chewing gum (not a life process, but oh well).

You really need to work your heart at the same time, and that requires weight lifting or aerobic exercise.

You may be gaining calories if there is any food, or a drink other than water next to you.

Answer 4

No question is ever too stupid. Yes, they burn calories but in very small amounts. Think of running is like a level 5 calorie burner and moving ur fingers to play the piano is a level .0001 calorie burner. Thanks for the question!!

Answer 5

In fact no , these actions r energized from the sugar in the blood in small amounts , and are considered minor physical activity not that hard to burn calories.
Don't think that u will burn considerable amount of fat with these movements .

Answer 6

Yes, those little things burn small amounts of calories.

Answer 7

of course your arms and legs moving burns calories... your fingers on the other hands... not so sure about that one... has to have physical exertion to be considered a burn in my eyes.

Answer 8

Any cardio artwork-out and eating 8 8oz glasses of water an afternoon will burn energy quickest. you do no longer ought to d/l something, consume a nicely balanced nutrition recurring, sleep 8 hours, drink an excellent sort of water, and do 30-60 minutes of cardio known.

Answer 9

Everything you do (even sitting) burns calories. The more you move, the more calories you burn.

Answer 10

I heard that smelling certain fruits can burn calories and so can studying.
