Here are some easy ways to include more NEAT movement in your day:
* Do squats, arm raises or arm circles while waiting for your morning coffee to brew.
* Use a resistance band or ankle weights to do leg lifts while sitting at your desk at work.
* Roll your shoulders, neck, ankles and wrists when working on the computer.
* Use a stress ball or fidget toy.
* Schedule regular breaks to stand up and move around when sitting for long periods.
* Do more chores around the house — vacuuming, dusting, putting dishes away and doing laundry all count.
* Do pushups or crunches during commercial breaks when watching TV.
* Stretch before bed and when you wake up in the morning.

Walking is good enough - The guidelines are 150 minutes of moderate activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity a week. It doesn’t really matter how you get that. - The evidence shows that 7,000 or more steps a day provides a substantial health benefit. - The best form of exercise is the exercise you do regularly. 4/n https://www.uhhospitals.org/blog/articles/2022/05/is-walking-good-enough-exercise
