Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis(NEAT) can be another tool you use towards your goals.

NEAT is not necessarily considered exercise but think of it as small activities you do at work or at home.

In addition to strength training, you can use NEAT towards a goal of weight loss because you are essentially using more energy in your day. NEAT plus exercise creates more energy expenditure which can result in weight loss given other factors are taken under consideration.

If the goal is being more active, then NEAT can be useful. Rather than use the elevator, you could take the stairs or use a basket instead of a cart while grocery shopping.

Fat Gripz is a great tool to add because it challenges your grip strength which sometimes can be a limiting factor for certain exercises such as a Romanian Deadlift or Chin-Up.

Adding these to dumbbells will create a thicker grip. Because of the change in grip, your forearm muscles will work harder, thus; this can help your grip strength.

We recommend lowering your weights if using Fat Gripz since the feel will be brand new and challenging. Use them for accessory lifts such as dumbbell bench pressing, dumbbell rowing, or dumbbell romanian deadlifts.

We have these in both studios. Ask your coach to give it a try and let us know what you think!
