[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I dont consider walking, cleaning, lawn mowing/gardening as exercise[/b]. Its NEAT. I aim for 8k steps per day. On days I mow, thats easy to get.

I lift 30-40 min 3-5 times per week plus 45 min tennis lesson/play plus 1-2 hours pickleball (just in summer). Outside of summer its 45-60min lifting 3-5 times per week.

That's fine for you but it really depends on the type of walking and work. It's definitely considered exercise. What's NEAT?[/quote]

Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT) is the energy expended for everything we do that does not include sleeping, eating, or exercise; and ranges from simple things like standing and fidgeting to moving about.

Over the past few years, researchers have begun investigating the remaining 110 – 115 hours of the week that we are awake as a weight loss solution, rather than the few hours a week spent trying to exercise. [url]https://blog.nasm.org/exercise-programming/neat-approach-weight-loss[/url]

Yes I sweat and push a mower when mowing but it isnt that much different than pushing a stroller. Strollers can be 9-20lbs plus weight of child(ren). Push lawnmowers 25-75lbs (electric).
