Just Move!
N.E.A.T. Fitness
(Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis)
This is a very overlooked; yet vital part of your overall health, fitness and wellness.
What if I were to tell you that if your N.E.A.T skills are not very good you are actually causing yourself more harm than good?
Maximizing N.E.A.T. without stressing the body helps burn more without triggering fatigue or hunger like hardcore cardio might.
It refers to all the calories you burn from daily movement that isn’t formal exercise — things like:
- Walking
- Movement around the house or work
- Fidgeting
- Cleaning
- Yard work
- Taking the stairs
- Shopping
- Cooking
- Playing with your dog or kids
- Any types of movement that can be done without time restraints and does not cause the same stress that a focused based workout session would include.
- Total accumulation of steps and NEAT skills done throughout the day and even into the evening will help you do your part in your fitness, health and wellness Just Move! and keep moving some more!!
