Knotted handkerchief on head, drinking a pint of beer while juggling 3 knives - could only be a Brit! Love the picture, Perry.

I am increase my NEAT activity, and I’ve always seemed to prefer moving instead of staying static. I can do both, but my focus and energy is better when I am moving and energetically engaged.

But, diet is the more powerful of the two factors of exercise and diet that affect weight, along with other factors. I am practicing and very interested in NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenisis) as a way to burn calories. Standing more often, moving around, doing manual labor, dancing, and just moving instead of sitting like a sloth. You can burn up to 350-500 extra calories a day with NEAT activities. Multiply that by 365 days, and divide by 3500 which is how many calories it takes to lose a pound and you got some nice weight loss or control. I think juggling a lot gives you both NEAT and exercise, depending on the intensity. Our obesity levels would be lessened if everyone used time throughout their day to increase their daily NEAT.

These types of "scientific" studies are inherently questionable because it is so difficult to control things. If I didn't exercise, I suspect I would be pushing 250 lbs. @Phil – an excellent point.

How much would you weigh if you hadn't run at all? You may not be burning fat and calories when you aren't exercising, but it does seem like it helps speed up your metabolism.
