🚶‍♀️NEAT🚶‍♂️

Your daily training sessions only accounts for 5% of your TDEE

(Total Daily Energy Expenditure)

NEAT counts for 3 times that amount!

Just a few more forms of NEAT include: fidgeting, gardening, ironing, doing the dishes and shopping.

If your goal is fat loss, the aim is to create an energy deficit through exercise and eating in a calorie deficit. Increasing your NEAT will definitely help with this deficit.

Increasing your NEAT is also good for improving overall health and enhancing your mood!

If you have a very sedentary job, here are some tips for getting your NEAT up⬇️

1️⃣. A non-negotiable minimum of 8,000-10,000k steps a day!

2️⃣. A stand up desk - you will constantly be shifting you weight from foot to foot. Also a lot more friendly on the hips, back and overall posture.

3️⃣. Every hour on the hour, take a walk up and down a few flights of stairs. Chip away at those steps and get a break from the screen.

If you work from home, work for a 50min time black, and use the remaining 10mins in the hour to get your ass up and about!

4️⃣. If you can, walk or cycle to work. If you work from home, utilise the time you would spend commuting and take a walk outside. Enjoy some headspace to start your day.

5️⃣. If you’re sitting down, keep tapping those feet away under the desk. Place your water bottle out of reach so you have to shuffle to get it, might sound silly but EVERY BIT COUNTS.

If you can move, find an excuse to move!🚶‍♀️
