Let's talk Non Exercise Activity Thermogenesis, NEAT for short, or in simple terms, the movement you do outside your scheduled exercise. You'll be familiar with the all too common phrase of "eat less, move more" usually uttered by well meaning people in a slightly condescending manner. Though at it's core it's good advice, it never seems that easy to apply. Today we're going to delve a bit deeper into at least one side of that with the view of weight loss.
When it comes to weight loss or fitness people always seem to complicate things, or at least seem to believe it has to be complicated to work. Marketing obviously plays a major role in this considering the size of the industry with new products and solutions hitting the market weekly.

Monday Motivation this time around is a bit different. We're currently mid-way through January, a month typified by New Year's Resolutions and a rush to all things health and fitness related. The vast majority of these people seem to have dropped off by March or even February. It's also the time of year television channels are flooded with programmes charting others with the same goals. Most, however set pretty unrealistic targets for the average person. With some being better than others, one of these shows seems at least to be somewhat inspiring.
