And think of the cumulative effect of that.
It's not just the formal exercise.
So in a 2018 review published in the Journal of Exercise, Nutrition, and Biochemistry, the authors described NEAT as a highly variable component of total daily energy expenditure,
let me repeat that again, as a highly variable component of total daily energy expenditure, meaning that it can be all over the map, but it can accumulate.
And they noted that low levels of NEAT were associated with obesity.
So people who do less of the NEAT activity
had higher risk or it was associated and linked to, not risk, but linked to obesity.
And this is interesting because it helps explain in part why two people can seem to live similarly and have very different body weight and metabolic patterns.

Isn't that a cool idea that your body is paying attention to you?
And it's not just paying attention to the workout that you do.

Now, if you're not a natural fidgeter, you can try fidgeting for a while.
You know, I've tried fidgeting more.
You usually, you know, just sort of slow the pace back to how you usually are.
But give yourself credit if you're a fidgeter.
If you move, keep it up.
If it's not appropriate in that environment, pick it up when it's back in the other environment that it is.
