Healthy Livings “Fitness Fridays”~ 10/2/26 (The Impacts of N.E.A.T)~ 😃
HEY ALL~
Welcome to Healthy Livings “Fitness Fridays” thread~ It’s been a moment since we have done these! So this time let’s touch upon “N.E.A.T” & how it can impact us in Healthy Ways!
⭐️It’s easy to focus on the “Physical” aspect in terms of Healthy Living. Such as Exercise & Workouts.
⭐️What many might not do is take heart on the “Small steps” that we can put in to simply get “movement” in each day... That You don’t have to be a “Gym-Rat” to move your body! And with the cooler Autumn weather upon many of us, it can be a great time to make time to Move a bit more in your day!
⭐️SMALL MOVEMENT MAKES A DIFFERENCE!… (Walking a pet, pacing, cleaning, etc..) It ALL COUNTS!
1.) WHAT SMALL STEPS HAVE YOU TAKEN TODAY TO MOVE YOUR BODY?
2.) WHAT ACTS OF “N.E.A.T.” COULD YOU DO MORE OF TO CREATE or ADD MORE “MOVEMENT” IN YOUR DAY OR WEEK GOING FORWARD?!

I have a morning dancing ritual. I dance out to do all of my morning activities. Dance brushing my teeth, dance making breakfast and coffee, and then I go dance around outside for a few minutes. I could definitely pace while I'm on the phone - my outside walkway to my driveway is a hill I could just go pace that :)
@TovaCares76
Yesss! Dancing is where it’s at! Lol… I love to dance. 💃
How awesome for you to turn your household activities & chores into a Dance Party! 🪩 Definitely makes it a much more Fun way & quicker way to get through the day! Great job to you on all of your “NEAT” movements!
Thank you for sharing with us!
I love walking with my Furbaby~ As well as doing household chores around the house (like putting away clothes or vacuuming)!
I love getting outdoors & getting those steps in with the baby as well as having a Nice clean home~ So it’s definitely an added bonus for me to getting in “NEAT” activity daily. And in helping not to remain too sedentary throughout the day. 👊🏼
@PoliteOcean
I got out before it started raining! Perfect timing!😎🌲
@AsherTree went walking**
@AsherTree
Thats awesome for you that you were able to beat out “Mother Nature” today & get your walk in! 👊🏼
Great job on getting in some movement! Keep up the great work.
@PoliteOcean
I love this, because with a busy lifestyle like I have, it's easier to fit in small steps like this , thank you 😊
@Amanda84
Yes absolutely!
Small steps count & always add up to the bigger ones. As long as we are moving our bodies that’s what counts. Doesn’t matter in what ways we get it moving. Heck we can simply do movement or stretching from a “chair”, or get up between commercial breaks, or whatever gets us moving. ☺️
Glad you enjoyed this post & thank you for sharing with us!

@stormieandpaws
Despite your physical challenges, it’s a really Great job to you in being able to get in your movement through getting out & about & completing your daily tasks.
And a wonderful job to you at placing focus on how will you continue to get in your NEAT movement going forward! 👊🏼
I think it’s wonderful that you were able to get out to visit a senior center. I actually spent many years as a Geriatric Nurse, & spent quite a bit of my time working with seniors as well in the Nursing homes or Centers. They love when others visit & help, And show that they care. They are really an amazing group to work with, And simply be around. And you are right it brings them so much Joy that some might not otherwise get to experience! That’s really awesome for you. Thank you for sharing!

Although I despise AI and have a fear towards it, I'm still glad some people in the world are using it for right things and helping people out. 🤍
