Key takeaways
- NEAT is everyday non-exercise movement.
- It can vary by hundreds of calories.
- Aim for 7,000–10,000 steps.
- Break up sitting every 30–60 minutes.
- Walk after meals.
An hour at the gym is great, but what you do the other 15 waking hours matters just as much for healthy weight.
What is NEAT?
Definition
Non-exercise activity thermogenesis is the energy you burn through all movement that isn't planned exercise.
Why it matters
Research shows NEAT can vary by several hundred calories a day between people with similar body sizes.
The motivation link
How energetic and motivated you feel influences how much you move, which is where orexin comes in.
Easy ways to add movement
| Habit | How |
|---|---|
| Walk after meals | 10–15 minutes after lunch and dinner |
| Break up sitting | Stand or stretch every 30–60 minutes |
| Walking calls | Take phone calls on your feet |
| Choose stairs | Skip the lift for 1–3 floors |
| Park farther | Add steps to every trip |
Building the habit
Track steps with your phone, increase by 1,000 a week, and pair walks with something enjoyable such as a podcast or a friend. OrexiBurn supports energy and the motivation to stay active with a stimulant-free blend formulated around orexin; take one capsule daily with a big glass of water.
