 Next question is from Jessica Arkebeck, how much neat is too much? Can you overdo it? Does your body get too efficient with a certain daily step count like it would with long distance endurance cardio? It's too much when it becomes neato. Well, yeah, I think we need to clear clear some things up because I you know We started talking about neat more than anybody I know in the space a long time ago And there's there's a little bit of blurriness here, right? You know neat is technically non-exercise. So it's it's things that you just would naturally do Actively walking would actually technically fall under the the you know movement or cardio. It wouldn't necessarily Fall under neat. So, you know, can you do too much neat? No, like you're you can't do things that are Naturally creating movement and calorie burn throughout your day because it's such a low level of intensity. It's not Exercise so you can't do too much neat Are you I guess you could technically do too much walking? I mean if you were walking so much that you're burning So many calories and you're under consuming you're gonna send a signal to the body to become efficient with those calories and Potentially slow the metabolism down. So it really depends on how you're fueling your body It depends on your goals who you are, you know, if you're moving too much Is it hurting your joints is your goal maximum muscle gain? That's a different answer than if your goal is just overall health Which is different than if you want lots of endurance like it really does depend on it on the individual plus I do want to make this point here There is a certain amount of cardio or neat or whatever you want to call it That will actually help your body also build muscle because I don't want people to think the opposite What I don't want is people to think oh my goal is to build as much muscle as possible Therefore, I'm going to avoid all cardio and all activity that will also reduce muscle building because some form of Cardiovascular activity or amount of cardiovascular activity is going to improve your health Well, so then improve your body's ability to build muscle like for me for example who you know your classic You know ectomorph or you know when I was growing up was hard for me to build muscle You know, I used to be afraid of any cardio like don't do any car All I'm gonna do is lift whites that was actually a mistake I had to do some to maintain my health to have good health Which would then help my body build muscle and I've noticed now that if I just lift weights I don't build as much muscle than if I lift weights and incorporate Some form of cardiovascular activity where it's whether it's walking or hiking, but what's too much? I mean it all depends on the person the goal You know what what you're looking to do with your body if your goal is to have lots of endurance You're gonna do way more of this stuff than if your goal is to build maximal muscle, and if you want great health I it's probably best to do some form of walking or cardiovascular activity every single day Yeah, I think I mean it if I'm getting too much activity per day You're gonna know that like if I have a really rigorous job if I'm constantly on my feet I would I would definitely make sure that my nutrition is Supplementing that and so I'm getting adequate nutrition to kind of you know help along that process because that's one of those things is it's Daily activity is going to be a constant that your body is gonna end up adapting to anyway So that's that's something that's like you got to kind of you know take that into consideration along with your training program as well I've never had a client ever ever ever do too much walking so You could pretty much as long as you're being fed, you know and getting adequate macro nutrients you're hitting your your basic macro nutrient targets I 99.9 percent most people don't walk enough right I'm advising you the time I'm advising more walks more walks more walks take more walks Especially at a time right now with COVID and most people being in shelter-in-place, so It will be really tough to Overdo Something like this yeah for me personally and I always I like resistance strengths my favorite form of exercise in other words You know my goals they change, but what do I like the most right? I like to be strong I like to feel like I have some muscle on my body And I have found for me that the ideal amount of steps every single day to accomplish that is Anywhere between 12 to 14,000 a day most people don't even get a half of that right and that's for me Who's always likes to be strong and muscular if my goal was endurance or stamina? It would be a lot more than that So just to give you a little bit of a reference, you know in terms of my personal goals
