I am trying to build up some basic fitness from basically zero, but have to spend quiet some time in front of a computer-screen, gyms drive me crazy (too many people around...), and running just is not for me (yet... who know?). What I CAN do, though, is short little workouts during screen-breaks.
But is that even effective? Is, for example, bringing my heartrate up with about a minute of cardio-excercises going to help me burn fat, or am I just going to look silly?

Thanks, Layna
