    Yes.  Simply living burns calories.  The second your mitochondria can no longer burn “calories” to produce ATP you die. 

    Okay, maybe a few seconds, but seriously, once you can no longer produce ATP via the Crebs cycle, your life will be incredibly brief.  There are a few neurotoxins that work precisely this way.   

    That said, don’t think doing 10 minutes of stretching justifies an extra large Pizza snd 6-pack of beer for dinner.

    No. You are not using enough energy to burn calories. You'd probably only burn 1 calorie every two hours
