from December 2012 Women's Health
"When it comes to burning calories, standing delivers. A University of Missouri study found that staying on your feet blasts up to 60 calories per hour more than sitting. And research indicates that standing may help our bodies burn fat more efficiently. A 130 pound woman can torch up to 570 extra calories when she stands for eight hours. It's hard to rise to the occasion for that long, so try to get on your feet whenever you can--at lunch, meetings, while checking voice mail--to help reach your weight-loss goal and ward off sitting-related ailments."
