Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT)
What is NEAT?
NEAT is Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis. This is the calories you burn while doing non-exercise activities, such as cleaning your apartment, walking around the grocery store, fidgeting at your desk, etc.
What does NEAT look like in a daily routine?
NEAT accounts for an estimated 15-30% of the total calories that you burn daily.
If you are looking to increase your NEAT, try to get at least 8000 steps in. Walk your dog, dance to your favorite song, and clean your apartment. Being more active outside of the gym will help with fat-loss progress, without spending more time in the gym. Make sure your NEAT activities are something that make you happy, as you’ll be more likely to burn calories from frequently doing them.
