 Re: Practice your clarinet and lose weight

In this regard it matters whether you're standing or sitting when you practice. I'd assume that the original poster's surveys covered both scenarios - 47 calories sitting, 132 standing. The latter accounts for the person's weight being specified - you burn calories holding up your own weight when you're standing, but not so much if your chair is providing taking your weight.

If memory serves, about 3,500 calories burns 1 pound of weight. So a sitter would be looking to play for 37 hours to lose a pound. Or my preferred way of looking at it: 37 hours practice buys you two guilt-free restaurant nosh-ups!
