Calories Burned:  170 calories per hour   (based on a body weight of 150 lbs.)
Instructions: 
Performing moderate work activities while sitting at a workbench will usually expend two to three times the amount of energy required to lie at rest or sleep. Add to it the demands of the specific tasks, and performing moderate work while sitting can consume 3 to 4 times the energy required at absolute rest.
