Fidgeting To Fitness With The NEAT Method

Can you fidget your way to fitness? You can if you're a NEAT person.

We're not talking about the organized type of neat.

NEAT stands for non-exercise activity thermogenesis.

It's the energy you burn when you're moving about the day and *not when you're in a purposeful workout at the gym.

It's things like walking to your car, folding the laundry, pacing on a phone call, taking the garbage cans out, and yes even fidgeting.

Those are the calories a lot of us aren't burning enough and they are crucial to weight management and longevity.

A Mayo Clinic study found people who sit at a job for six or more hours a day have a 35-40% increased risk of shorter lifespan.

You can offset that by moving more.

The key is being active in small spurts all day longer and not just an hour in a workout class.
