Retail is physically taxing and required a whole lot more brains (you know, to actually do a good job) than my office job does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-burn-calories-at-your-job#post-319142 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 12:49:15 +0000 mediagirl 319142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope.

Our office is on the 3rd floor, so I normally take the stairs and go to the 1st floor anytime I need to go to the bathroom. That way I at least get a *little* exercise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-burn-calories-at-your-job#post-319135 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 12:45:39 +0000 Lindsay05 319135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am an exercise therapist so yes.

At our shop - for sure!

Thankfully I didn't have to wear heels at my retail job, (I was management too) but it was hard being on my feet that long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-burn-calories-at-your-job#post-318888 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 11:06:44 +0000 Mrs. Pen 318888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: Me too! I hate feeling like there is nothing to do. I am just REALLY hoping I can get into the nursing program. What kind of nurse are you? I want to do L&amp;D and possibly get my Doula certification. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-burn-calories-at-your-job#post-318873 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 11:04:07 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 318873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope - unless you count the trips to and from the bathroom (which is a lot more often now that I'm pregnant) and to the cafe to get some water/tea/coffee! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-burn-calories-at-your-job#post-318858 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 10:58:21 +0000 Smurfette 318858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope :( Just sit as a desk all day long. Unless you count my many trips to the bathroom a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-burn-calories-at-your-job#post-318848 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 10:55:36 +0000 pinkcupcake 318848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was working, I was an attorney so all I did was sit behind a desk - burned nothing! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-burn-calories-at-your-job#post-318845 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 10:54:25 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 318845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: I used to be in management at a high end retail store, and boy, I was sooooooo exhausted at the end of the day! And I wore heels all day so my feet were in BAD shape. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-burn-calories-at-your-job#post-318838 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 10:52:44 +0000 MrsBrewer 318838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>zero!! I have a desk job :-( I used to work at a hotel and I loved it, being up all day and walking around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-burn-calories-at-your-job#post-318836 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 10:52:23 +0000 oahujeni 318836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Highwire: I'm with you! Sit here for 9 1/2 hours a day (I try to get up every hour or so to stretch my legs.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-burn-calories-at-your-job#post-318822 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 10:48:05 +0000 tororojo 318822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I burn very few sitting in a chair all day, but I try to get up and move around pretty often. I used to work in retail management and burned a ton of calories running around for 8+ hrs a day...I miss that, actually. I would rather be exhausted at the end of the day than have my butt sore from too much sitting. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-burn-calories-at-your-job#post-318821 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 10:47:39 +0000 anonysquire 318821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: woo hoo! I absolutely love being a nurse! And I am running my whole shift. But I love being busy at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-burn-calories-at-your-job#post-318819 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 10:47:00 +0000 DillonLion 318819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zero. I only consume calories at my job (sit at a desk all day and snack on and off). </p> <p>It used to drive me crazy but now that I am hugely pregnant, I am so thankful that I get to just sit here all day with my feet propped up on a box :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-burn-calories-at-your-job#post-318817 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 10:46:47 +0000 Mrs. Pen 318817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a nanny 1x a week so yup I do!! Before this I worked in retail and spent 8 hours a day on my feet, so I have always had fast-paced work environments.</p> <p>I think I'm going to go to school for nursing (hopefully I get in) and that would be another fast paced environment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-burn-calories-at-your-job#post-318813 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 10:45:03 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 318813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sure do! I am a cafe manager and sometimes I am running around like crazy. It is very busy and pretty fast paced.</p> <p>Do you burn a lot of calories while at work? Is your job active? </p>
