Fidget More

I’m definitely a fidgeter, the one always bouncing my foot under the table and the one constantly getting up when guests are over. I tend to use my hands when I talk and I’ve taken up crochet as something to keep my hands busy when watching movies. While I may annoy my friends and family occasionally, fidgeting might be good for my waistline. According to research from the Mayo Clinic, fidgeting can burn up to an extra 350 calories/day. In a cute use of acronym, the researchers called fidgeting movements NEAT or non-exercise activity thermogenesis.
Basically, every little bit helps. Whether you get up to change the channel, take a scroll to the bus or get up often at work, you are having an effect on how many calories you burn each day. Do you fidget?
