NEAT is Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis.
Basically, energy expended, or a more popular way of putting it: ✨ calories burning ✨ when we’re not sleeping or exercising.
What?! 😳
I’m burning calories just by existing?! 🧐
Yes. Getting out of bed, walking around the house, fidgeting, sitting- all does!
After a long day, instead of melting into the couch and binging on Netflix to wind down, I chose take a 5km walk down to Marina Bay! 🇸🇬
You don’t have to walk 20k steps a day- but instead notice time spent in seated positions and think of creative ways to accomplish these activities while standing! 🚶♀️ These small amount of calories burnt adds up, and every little victory moves you forward. 💪🏻
🔥 Here are 6 easy ways to increase your NEAT 🔥
Remember, what will make a difference is changing your thinking, and your way of life!
