Boost NEAT With Everyday Fidgeting

Increase non-exercise activity thermogenesis by deliberately adding small bouts of movement throughout the day, such as walking during phone calls, taking the stairs, parking farther away, carrying groceries by hand, or standing and pacing more often. The goal is to raise total daily energy expenditure through frequent low-intensity activity, which can meaningfully add up even when you are not doing formal exercise.

1 / 3

if you look at just, um, non-exercise activity thermogen, it's neat. This is basically a dorky way of saying all the movement in a person's life that isn't dedicated exercise that often outweighs the benefits of exercise in many studies.
