If you’ve been led to believe that high-intensity workouts are the best way to burn calories and lose weight, let us introduce you to Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT).
Combined with regular, consistent exercise and a healthy diet, NEAT could help you achieve your weight loss goals without spending hours in the gym every day. The term refers to the amount of energy you expend daily outside of sleeping, eating and exercising; this means that taking the stairs over the elevator or standing up while you work both count toward your NEAT total and could help you burn more calories.
