NEAT & Steps: Why Daily Movement is Your Metabolic ‘Secret Weapon’

NEAT & Steps: Why Daily Movement is Your Metabolic ‘Secret Weapon’

Why steps matter

Higher daily steps consistently associate with lower mortality and better metabolic markers. NEAT is also the easiest variable to scale without frying recovery.

Targets & tactics

Target 8–10k on average. Use walking meetings, park further, stairs, 10‑min post‑meal walks, standing breaks, and a 20–30 min evening stroll.

Training integration

On lifting days, a 20–30 min walk accelerates recovery; on rest days, stack two longer walks or hikes.
