1,000 Waking Minutes · 54 - The Hidden Health Power of NEAT: Why Everyday Movement Matters More Than You Think · 17 Jun 2026 podcast

And I encouraged her to think about the multitude of activities that she did in the course of the day that actually do count as exercise.

So I wasn't giving her grandiose credit.

I wasn't even printing out sheets, even though I've done this before, sheets of like, how many calories do you burn doing some average exercises or things that you move through the house?

It's kind of fun to

to think about that at times, but we weren't doing that.

But we're just talking about the basics, the doing the laundry, the folding clothes, the climbing the stairs, you know, the home chores, as well as bending and lifting kids and playing outside with the kids, walking the family dog.

And I asked her to make a list of all the physical exertion she made in a day.

And then to, importantly, give herself credit for the activity she was doing.

Now, in our household right now, I have a daughter who's in elementary school, as many of you know who have listened before.

And we give, you know, credit or points or things like that.

I didn't give her a specific number of points, but give yourself credit.

Like, think of it like exercise.

Let's sort of quantify that, wow, you're spending minutes, your life's currency.

on living actively, even though it's not the way that you used to do it, and it may not be the way that you intend to do it again.

But as Erica started to appreciate

the amount of her neat non-exercise activity thermogenesis, of that kind of movement or exercise she was getting, she began to get easier in the mind.

It started to alleviate some of her stress over what she was supposed to do, what she was intending to do that played out in her mind what she wanted to do.

She still wanted to do those things because someone who enjoys her exercise or enjoys that time

to be dedicated for something very for herself, but she became more aware and she turned up her neat activities within the day into even better movement opportunities.

And it was sort of like now a mental and physical game for her, a game with real payoff, in fact, over time.
