The Power of N.E.P.A.: How Small Daily Movements Boost Your Health.

When people think about fitness, they usually picture intense gym sessions and structured workouts. But what if we told you that the movements you do outside of the gym could have just as big of an impact on your health? Enter N.E.P.A. – Noticing, Explaining, Planning, and Action.

At Gusto FitHub, we believe that staying active all day is key to long-term health. Let’s break down how you can implement N.E.P.A. in your daily routine.

1. Noticing – Become Aware of Your Daily Movement

Start by tracking how much you move throughout the day. Are you sitting for long periods? Do you take the stairs or always opt for the elevator? Simply noticing these patterns is the first step to making a change.

2. Explaining – Why It Matters

Non-exercise movement plays a huge role in:
✔ Boosting metabolism – More movement means more calories burned.
✔ Enhancing energy levels – Less fatigue, less stress and more focus.
✔ Creating sustainable habits – Small movements are easier to maintain than extreme workout routines.

3. Planning – Simple Ways to Move More

Now, let’s make a plan! Some easy ways to increase N.E.P.A. include:

• Taking short walking breaks every hour.

• Parking farther away to get extra steps in.

• Choosing stairs over elevators.

• Doing household chores or gardening.

• Setting a daily step goal and tracking progress.

4. Action – Turn It into a Habit

Start small and be consistent! Over time, these small movements will become second nature, leading to better health without even thinking about it.

At Gusto, we help our members integrate movement into everyday life so fitness isn’t just a workout—it’s a lifestyle. Try these N.E.P.A. tips today and experience the benefits of moving more!
