NEAT Activities
TAKING ACTION:
✅ On a scale of 1-10 (with 1 being “low activity” and 10 being “high activity”), where do you think your NEAT falls on average?
So far, we’ve learned more about what metabolism is responsible for and how your nutritional, fitness, and rest/sleeping habits affect it. Since there are only certain things we can control when it comes to our metabolisms, it makes sense that we should lean into nurturing those things.
Another thing you can do for better metabolic health is simply to move your body more. Compared to our ancestors, our lives are highly sedentary. Even many consistent gym-goers have sedentary jobs where much of their movement is confined to a 30-minute sweat sesh. While planned workouts are great, the other 23.5 hours of the day affect the health of your metabolism even more. 💯
In short, you gotta move more throughout the day. 🚶♀️
You’ve probably heard of NEAT before (non-exercise activity thermogenesis). NEAT is the energy you expend or use while completing all of your daily activities other than planned exercise. Some different forms of NEAT are:
🚶♀️ Taking the stairs or parking farther away.
🚶♀️ Playing with your kids.
🚶♀️ Laundry, vacuuming, or any other chores that require movement.
🚶♀️ Walking the dog.
🚶♀️ Take brisk walks around your office during work breaks.
NEAT activities are endless and don’t require much thought/decision-making. When it comes to improving your metabolic health, NEAT can be your best friend! 💯
