4 ways your body burns calories through movement

4 ways your body burns calories through movement

Your phone or app may tell you how many calories you've burned, but that doesn't always tell the whole story.

Our body burns calories in different ways depending on our movement. While this discussion is not all encompasing, it provides four types of movements for you to consider as you find your own balanced health.

  • Steady State Cardio/Endurance
  • Resistance/Strength Training
  • NEAT (movement that's not formal exercise)
  • HIIT (high intensity interval training)


Tune in to see how each of these affect your metabolic rate and how you can apply them to your own health.
