Movement: NEAT

The beauty of NEAT is that it actually burns a higher percentage of calories than those dedicated workouts. Best of all, it's one of those things that you could just fit in throughout your day. If you're wondering "How do I increase my NEAT?" The easiest way is by walking. You can grab 10 minutes before work, 10 minutes during lunch. It's fitting in little pieces of movement throughout the day. It could be taking an extra walk when you go to get the mail. It could be parking farther away. You always hear "Park further away!" or "Take the steps instead of the elevator". That's how you increase your NEAT, and again, that is going to keep your metabolism stoked. It's going to help you with your mobility and movement. It's also nice, if you do have a desk job and you're stuck in front of the computer all day, to just step away and recharge the battery by getting some fresh air.

So I highly recommended that you take time throughout the day to get outside and take a walk. You always hear about getting 10,000 steps, and that's where that comes from because increasing your activity throughout the day is super important to your health and your well-being. Do you track your steps? Are you familiar with NEAT? And is it an area that you're trying to improve?
