Increasing TDEE in Sedentary Job

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

I am a pastor so my work includes a lot of reading, writing, email, counseling; so lots of sitting.

I’d like to increase my TDEE for fat loss/overall health so I set a timer on my phone for every 30 minutes and I alternate Pull Ups/Dips and Push Ups/Sit Ups.

Any thoughts on this as an effective way to increase TDEE?

My home gym is only steps from my office, so I could theoretically do any exercise, would you recommend something different? Do you have a better idea for increasing daily activity for sedentary workers?

Probably not since you’re not really going to be active for very long and thus, the total duration of activity is lower.

I’d like to see you doing more conditioning or sustained physical activity if you can. That said, increasing LBM is probably the best way to increase TDEE outside of being more active.
