How NEAT Movements Add Up to Better Overall Health

Intentional exercise, such as going to the gym or doing a home workout, is important.

However, NEAT movements have been making headlines—and this type of movement might actually be more important than hitting the gym. 

NEAT stands for non-exercise activity thermogenesis.

These types of movements include a variety of activities outside of sleep, sports-related exercise, and eating. For example, the walking you do around your office is a form of NEAT. Even fidgeting or performing chores, like vacuuming or gardening, fall under the category of NEAT movements. 

In fact, all of these movements add up throughout your day! They can actually make a huge difference in your overall caloric expenditure, helping promote a healthy weight and facilitating healthy blood flow throughout the body.

Your Weekend Reset

Ready for a weekly reset? Try a few of these tips to unwind, connect, or get creative. We’ve got you covered to make the most of your downtime!

• DIY Project: Take the time and actually complete a ‘do-it-yourself’ project that you’ve been putting off. Not only will you feel a weight lift off your shoulders since you no longer have that pile of lumber in the corner staring you in the eye,(or whatever, you get it!) the act of just focusing and working with your hands is truly meditative and cathartic in the end.

• Healthy Cooking: Try some new dishes with healthy seasonal ingredients! Shaking up your culinary experience every now and then can relieve some of the boredom around your meal time, and get you to engage again with what you eat. And oh boy do we have a great repository of recipes you could try out!

• Relaxation Ritual: Create a relaxation ritual that you can make into a habit and do every night before bed. If you can effectively unwind every day, you’ll find you start sleeping better, and waking up refreshed!

• Book Recommendation: Grab “You Are a Badass” by Jen Sincero. Seriously, if you’ve been feeling stuck, or like so many of us, just kind of lost or unsure, give this one a shot. It’s full of great advice on how to ditch your doubts and go after what you want.
