They say if you talk for 60 minutes while sitting down..according to my age etc.. I burn up 120 calories. Now you can figure the calories for everything and writing for 60 minutes i can burn off 144 calories. Find out how many calories you burn off by going to this link ..entering basic info. You burn off more then you think! http://www.ahealthyme.com/topic/calburncalc

that's good to know. since i spend most of my time sitting in front of the computer, i think i should read aloud to burn more calories, there is no one to talk to here except for my baby..

well talking and writing burn calories as much as running and other things.. I guess that's why students burn up so energy in school

Wow!!I never knew that! Now I have a reason to give my friend when they ask how I'm able to maintain my size (I'm petite). It's all the talking and the writing that I do! I find myself talking all the time and sometimes I feel I should learn to stop.

I should tell my husband about that. I mean I love to write and I also love to talk about nothing in particular. And I would be so much easier then running for thirty minutes straight and much more enjoyable Now I will have to think of a way to do walk, and write at the same time. You know they should have those machines like they had on Star Trek where you dictated to the computer and it entered the information, then I can walk around and talk at the same time, get more calories burnt for less time.

Okay, they say you learn something new everyday, well this is the one for me today. That is amazing, I never thought that could be true. I can talk all day sometimes, at least I know I am getting a work out as well, lol!

hello littlefranciscan, its really a nice piece of information for me.i am very much a fitness concern.so it will be helpful to me. i had heard from my friends that tongue excercise is the best in burning calories.but was not confirmed until i saw your discussion.usually i practice it.i talk a lot with my fiancee on cellphone.so i think thats the reason why i have a great figure.i hardly get time to excercise except walking which i do regularly.and now i will give my tongue this talking therapy and thanks for the information.
