Alright friends, today’s tip is NEAT… I mean literally AND figuratively!

NEAT = Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis

In a nutshell, NEAT refers to ALL of the calories you burn when you’re not sleeping, not eating, and when you’re not exercising. Essentially, it’s all of the calories you burn simply by LIVING and MOVING throughout your daily life.

Check out 6 proven ways to increase NEAT without adding ANY time or stress to your day:

👉🏻 Take the stairs instead of the elevator
👉🏻 Park in the farthest parking spot from the door
👉🏻 Work at a standing desk. Fidgeting while you stand burns more calories than you would guess.
👉🏻 Break up your day and aim for a few short walks. Set an alarm for every hour or two and take a brisk walk around the office.
👉🏻 Do errands as opposed to ordering everything online. Sure, Amazon and Instacart are convenient, but strolling through the aisles and unloading your groceries burns more calories than opening an Amazon box.
👉🏻 Do your chores and housework. Vacuuming, cleaning the bathroom, and mowing the lawn are simple household tasks that torch calories

Still not a believer that these small movements add up?! 🤔

Current research suggests that you can burn an extra 100-150 calories EVERY HOUR simply by increasing NEAT.

If you increase NEAT for 8 hours a day, that’s an extra 800-1200 calories you burn WITHOUT exercise! 🤯

Talk about making weight loss easier… HOW easy would it be to create a calories deficit if you could burn an extra 800 calories without stepping foot into the gym?!
