That last statement was great.

[@SkepticGamer]

Also fuck you because it applies to me

[@BenCarpenter]

@@SkepticGamer well that escalated quickly

This is something I have lost by working from home. Structured exercised just cannot compete with NEAT. But I will say this: Exercise is good for getting stronger.

Your analogy makes sense for people who smash the gym in the morn, but what about people who work during the day with not so sedentary jobs and smash the gym at night? < or > fatloss?

[@BenCarpenter]

It would probably be best to view it over a 24 hour period. For example, if you train hard on day 1 right before bed, do you move less on day 2 than you normally would? Maybe grab a pedometer as a crude indicator

Greetings from California. I've also heard of NEAT and how that aids in burning calories for most people. Still, I'd like to ask how naturally thin people like myself must tolerate NEAT since NEAT is apparently a lifelong frenemy to those trying to put on muscle and mass.

[@Yayyyyyyyyyy]

Just workout

[@tonyc.0451]

@@Yayyyyyyyyyy I try. I managed to put on twenty pounds, but I wonder if I've reached my limits.

[@CaptainManic2010]

"Not spending half your life watching ["youtube"]" I'm watching this before a workout! BACK OFF!

[@rookie5211]

Yo mate, incredible biceps

[@jjfaulkner2578]

Lol I just drank one and you said calories burned through fidgeting so I started over fidgeting 🤣

[@lukedurling]

Really well explained bro, thanks

[@kirinoxkyousuke]

so basically just move more than you would normally do?

[@halildurmaz7827]

Okay, but as an IT guy who works from home by just sitting, it is very hard to increase the calories burned from NEAT. So, even though I cook, clean, shop, still the thing I should focus on is "Doing planned cardio". Isn't it true?

[@BenCarpenter]

What about getting one of those desk walking pads? My wife uses one and walks on it VERY slowly when doing some computer tasks that allow it and her step count went up thousands per day 🙂

[@ZainRiza]

Great video mate. Are you based in London?

[@BenCarpenter]

Thank you. :) Not quite. I am in Oxfordshire.

[@TrialoftheMonkeys]

Hi Ben, I love this video essay, I would really love to see your bibliography. Is there any way you could share your sources on this? Thanks in advance 🙏🏼

[@BenCarpenter]

Thank you. You can find references to all my videos in the description 🙂

[@maronglaze6529]

Great! Why You always sweaty?

[@BenCarpenter]

Bit weird of you to make two comments on this. I have shiny skin, and have no intention of wearing make up for a free social media video

[@RaphyJmusic]

Any tips on increasing NEAT if you work from home? Perhaps use a treadmill desk? Lol

[@ajmalmeister]

Well maybe increase the height you put ur desktop on and stand while working

[@JoeMama-sd2kl]

Clean your house often, cook, go outside and walk to take a break, take the stairs oftenly

[@daviewales]

Absolutely guilty of this. Go too hard on workout. Couch potato the rest of day

[@Sid_Mowe]

Stop calling everything sexy
