Resolution Step #16 - Mid-Month Slump? Focus on N.E.A.T.

N.E.A.T. (or Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis...no wonder they abbreviated it) are daily life activities which help your body burn more calories. Click the above title bar to learn a little more about the science behind it. But, in short, MOVE as much as you can! Park further away, take the stairs, use the bathroom at the other end of the building, fidget and wiggle, walk the papers to the filing cabinet in several trips...whatever you can do to add more movement through your day (particularly if your day is more stationary) the more calories burned. Try it to get over that mid-month slump!
