  • Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) accounts for a significant portion of daily calorie burn

  • Small increases in daily movement compound into meaningful fitness improvements

Maximizing Daily Movement

Look for opportunities to be more active throughout the day. Take stairs instead of elevators, walk or bike for short errands, and break up long periods of sitting with movement breaks. Every bit of activity counts toward your health goals.
