As long as we stay alive, we ALWAYS burn some amount of calories/fat. The more active we are, the more we burn.

When it comes to burning calories/fat, your heart rate is much more important than what it is that you are doing.

If you can reach and sustain the same heart rate for the same amount of time you will burn pretty much the same amount of calories/fatregardless of activity.

Now, playing the piano will burn more calories/fat than watching TV. And you probably won't be snacking while you play. But as you're quite unlikely to play yourself sweaty and winded, you won't burn that much. A brisk walk would probably be better.

Yes. playing the piano does burn off the body fat because when you are moving your fingers so quick you are not just making noise you are burning body fat too!!!

How many calories do you burn playing video games?

Very few, unless you play a Wii. So the age old question is can you burn calories while playing videogames and the answer? Is yes you can but I can't give you an exact number because it depends on what type of video game you are playing and your overall weight at the moment. Is it the kind that you just sit and use the controller? Do you stand while you play the game? (Incidentally you'd burn more calories if you do.) Is it the kind where you are physically moving your entire body or dancing? How avid are you at button mashing? Do you do it slowly? Do you do it quickly? (Quicker is better for burning calories not necessarily for gameplay though.) All these variables come into play and must be considered. Considering the fact that both playing the piano and playing videogames require you to use your hands (barring the exception of the occasional use of the sustain pedal) It has to be somewhere betwixt the number calories you burn playing piano and the number of calories you burn surfing the web. It depends on your weight and if you're standing or sitting or lying down. Generally speaking you'll burn more calories standing while playing a video game than you would sitting while playing a video game. And more sitting than while lying down. You'll burn even less while you're asleep should that ever happen while playing a video game. You don't have to play a wii to burn calories heck you could sit or lay down play videogames and still burn calories. The intensity of the gaming session may change the number of calories burned.

Do you lose weight playing tennis?

Yes the longer and harder you play the more calories you'll burn. You burn about 15 calories an hour just sitting, so if your running around a court swatting a ball you probably burn somewhere around 600 calories an hour plus it builds up your metabolism which means you'll burn more calories sitting or sleeping. So YES you will lose weight playing tennis.
