Increasingly popular in France, this easy-to-implement technique eliminates excess pounds effortlessly.
When we return from vacation, many of us often want to get back in shape in order to eliminate the few pounds accumulated during the summer. And if it is not always easy to go to the gym, there are alternatives that allow us to work out without even realizing it. This routine, particularly popular on social networks, is proof of this.
As you know, to stay in good health, it is essential to move. And, despite what running fans may say, it is entirely possible to burn calories without necessarily putting all your energy into it. The proof: having become very popular with the French in recent years, this practice helps to burn calories without you even noticing. There is only one rule to remember for optimal results: stay active as long as possible to prevent the effects of time and a sedentary lifestyle. Indeed, when resting, the human body already expends energy thanks to its basic metabolism. However, so-called “voluntary” activity and physical activity remain essential to effectively eliminate unwanted fat.
This voluntary activity has a name: NEAT. This expression, derived from the British dictionary “Non-exercise activity thermogenesis”, actually covers all the daily tasks that push us to exert ourselves without being considered sporting. Among them, we can cite walking to work, walking the dog, dancing in the evening (and not in a club), cooking, etc. All these unsuspected actions use muscle groups and can, in the long term, increase our energy expenditure. Thus, if NEAT is sometimes cited as a tip for losing weight, it is actually a great way to stay in shape.
The question then arises: is it possible to increase this energy expenditure to have a chance of losing excess pounds? The answer is yes. Indeed, to hope to increase your physical pace, you just need to change your habits by optimizing your travel. For example, if you are fond of automated journeys or you go to work by car, opt for walking and public transport, which will encourage you to move more.
If you work in an office, also remember to stand whenever you have the opportunity (during a phone call, for example). Also, don’t hesitate, if possible, to get up to talk to your colleagues rather than sending them an email. Finally, for better results, we remind you that it remains essential to adopt a healthy and balanced diet.
