Welcome to the Calorie Burning Series! Have you ever heard people say things like ‘take the stairs’ or ‘park further away and walk’ when it comes to losing weight? You might be wondering if these little changes make a difference when it comes to burning calories, and in this episode, I will show you why they do.  In part two of our calorie burning series, we delve into our second category of daily energy expenditure with a focus on daily activity—or what I like to call 'TEA,' the thermic effect of activity. I cover the two different categories that fall into it and how much of an impact TEA has on the amount of calories you can burn per day. Spoiler alert: This is going to be pretty surprising! Last but not least, we're going to talk through how you can use TEA or activity in general to your advantage no matter your goal.  So tune in to find out how increasing your daily movement can be a game-changer for your health and weight loss goals.
