Why Your Daily Activity Matters More Than Your Workout

In this episode, we’re diving into Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT)—the everyday movements that burn calories outside of structured workouts. From walking and fidgeting to cleaning and standing, these small actions add up and play a crucial role in weight management, metabolism, and overall health.

We’ll break down how NEAT fits into your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) and share real-life examples, including a fascinating study on hotel maids that shows how mindset can impact physical health.

Looking for easy ways to move more? We’ve got practical tips for parents, professionals, and anyone wanting to increase activity without extra time or effort. Whether it’s standing during calls, walking more throughout the day, or turning chores into movement opportunities, small shifts can lead to big results.
