MY FIRST EVER NEWS LETTER! LET'S TALK ABOUT N.E.A.T

Date: 30th October 2025

Hi everyone and welcome to my first ever newsletter! 🎉

I’m so excited to share this with you and hope you enjoy reading it, find some useful takeaways, and maybe even pass it on to a friend.

Most importantly, I’d love to hear your thoughts—both on this edition and any ideas you have for future ones.

💡 Topic of the Month: Let’s Talk About N.E.A.T! - Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis

So, what is N.E.A.T?Simply put, it’s all the activity you do that isn’t part of a planned workout. It’s the energy you burn through everyday movement—just by getting on with life!

🏡 Everyday Examples of N.E.A.T

• Household chores – even ironing (if you stay standing!)

• Gardening – not really my thing… I kill everything 🌱

• Leaf sweeping or snow clearing

• Standing or pacing while on the phone (instead of sitting on your widening bum!)

• Fidgeting – something I’m very good at!

• Walking briskly instead of ambling

• Fixing the car or doing a bit of DIY

• Taking the stairs instead of the lift or escalator

• Shopping – apparently I need to do more of that! 🛍️

• Playing with the kids or grandkids

All these small movements help you burn calories, boost your metabolism, and keep your body active—without needing a formal workout session.

🔥 What Does “Thermogenesis” Mean?

It’s just a fancy word for energy expenditure—the calories you burn through movement and activity.Even the smallest actions throughout your day count toward your total daily energy burn.

⚙️ Tools to Help You Stay N.E.A.T

My current favourite tool? My smartwatch.

I have a desk job, and my watch nags me every hour to get off my bum and move. (And yes—I always listen!)

I also have two dogs and a cat who need walking—yes, the cat joins too! 🐾

My personal rule is: Make. It. Count.

If I’m:

• Walking the dogs → I walk fast

• Going upstairs → I trot up, or go 2 steps at a time (burny legs!!!!)

• Moving around the house or office → I move briskly

• Cleaning or vacuuming → I do it with energy and intention

Honestly, with the amount I eat, I’m convinced this is why I’m not the size of a house! 😄

🌟 Your Turn

Think about how you can add more N.E.A.T into your day.Small choices—like taking the stairs or standing while chatting—add up over time and make a real difference to your overall health and energy.
