There are a lot of easy exercises that any old Tom, Dick, or Harry could do without straining themselves and as everyone knows (or should know) every calorie burned counts. So I'll start you off with the really easy and almost silly ones and work my way up to the rest.
1. Tapping your fingers or toes. Yes, this burns calories.
2. Chewing sugar free gum. I wouldn't make a workout of it, but you burn most of the calories you consumed when freshening your breath with this treat within an hour of chewing. Chew it two hours? Double burned.
3. Rolling your head back and forth. Yes, I'm getting silly now.
For the real exercises...
1. Walking. As simple as it sounds to do, not enough people do it. You can burn 60 calories per 100 lbs of body weight per mile walked, according to one site i visited a long time ago that i don't remember the name of...
2. Walking up and down the stairs. Just 10 minutes can burn like 100 calories. Again, I'm not sure the exact place i saw that at. Burn more by sprinting up and walking down.
3. Dancing. Doesn't matter if you're not very good. Just swaying to the music burns some calories. Move your body, arms, legs, you'll burn more.
That's my happy thoughts for the night.
