Not aerobic enough and it benefits only a small part of your body

Fidgeting can burn up to 800 calories a day; but it's not aerobic, so couldn't be considered "exercise" per se, although you might get a nicely-developed calf muscle.

if you mean tapping your foot,no i don't think so,it seems more a disorder of habit than exercise. now if you were to tape a weight to it,it may be more of a conditioning movement than an exercise.in addition it can be irritating to other people,you may elect to tap away in a dance,now tap dancing looks to me like real exercise.

I dont know if you can call it exercise, but studies have shown that fidgeting like that can burn off a decent amount of calories, but then again so can watching tv.

No, and actually might lead to an overuse injury of the ankle or front shin muscles (tibialis anterior).

No, I don't. And it's very distracting to those around you, especially in a classroom.
