CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
Micromovements, not marathons
When you’re seeking advice as to which sport is best for losing weight, most people are given the usual reply: endurance sports (cycling, swimming, jogging, walking etc.). Good intentions follow, but then everyday life gets in the way. No time today, can’t be bothered tomorrow, and other plans at the weekend. All too soon, that new pair of running shoes is gathering dust in the wardrobe.
Metabolism experts at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester (USA) have found that you don’t necessarily have to follow the trends of fitness gurus in order to maintain your figure. They wanted to find out why some people stay slim whilst others remain fat, even when neither do any sport. A test group was asked to wear special underwear for 10 days, which continuously registered even the slightest movement of the wearer.
The result: the slimmer couch potatoes were across the board more active than the more portly test persons. From waking up to going to bed, they burned an average of 300 calories more each day, just from everyday exertion. Whether it was an extra walk to the washing line (or to the photocopier in the office), an impatient tramp in front of the coffee machine, or a quick run upstairs, which is often quicker than taking the elevator... these many unobtrusive, spontaneous “workouts”, the so-called micromovements, allowed an energy consumption equal to half a bar of chocolate per day. From the outset, the test persons who were classed as overweight appeared to specifically avoid these movements. According to the underwear test, they were an average two and a half hours less active each day.
Conclusion: as Granny says, every step keeps you in trim. When you’re laying the breakfast table, do it one plate at a time; that will keep you slimmer than the muesli to follow!
