Answers:
I looked it up for you. For someone who is 150 pounds for 8 hours of standing( a work day) they burn 648 calories. 554 calories for sitting.

Not much differnce. I always thought there would be.Health Question & Answer

No. You burn about 300 calories per hour when standing quietly. Compared to the 100. 200 calories is not much of a difference. A good work out at a gym can easily burn 700 calories. But its better than standing.

Working out is also good for your heart. Standing does not raise your heart rate or have a cardio effect.Health Question & Answer
