What is NEAT?
NEAT, a term coined by Dr. James Levine at Mayo Clinic, is short for non-exercise activity thermogenesis. NEAT refers to the calories you burn each day through normal activity, excluding exercise. NEAT is everything from fidgeting to taking the stairs to choosing the bathroom furthest away from your cubicle. For most people, NEAT is just as significant for burning calories and managing weight as is intentional exercise. Using information from your Gruve, you can incorporate NEAT activities into your daily schedule.
