Our first sub-15-minute episode! Non Exercise Activity Thermogenesis is your primary tool for baseline cardiovascular needs, perhaps longevity and independence, and for weight loss (outside of nutrition). Read that again. Now go and listen to the episode!
Introduction to today's episode: What is NEAT?! 0:53 --> We're going right into NEAT, what it is, and why it's important to your overall health and fitness.
How Much Energy Does NEAT Make Up? - 2:48 --> The logical thought is that exercise burns more calories than anything else, however NEAT actually makes up the largest portion of energy used (calories burned) per day. Tune in to find out more information on how NEAT uses your energy each day.
The Person Who Doesn't Do Enough vs. The Person that Does Too Much - 6:20 --> Let's compare two scenarios: the client who does hours and hours of cardio and spends all of their time in a gym, and the person who doesn't do much of anything.
NEAT is Your Baseline Cardio Health - 7:33 --> No need to do endless cardio or intervals until you puke. To build better baseline cardio levels and overall endurance, NEAT is your answer!
The Minimal Effective Does, Lifestyle, and NEAT - 10:34 --> NEAT is one of the easiest things to accomplish to reach your goals. It can be done ANYWHERE and it also shows significant data towards a longer, healthier life. Make sure to tune in to find out your "get-out-of-cardio-free-card" as it pertains to NEAT as well.
