How NEAT is the Sitflexx?
Share
We all know sitting too much isn’t great. But what if you could make sitting… productive? That’s exactly what the Sitflexx does, and it’s all thanks to something called NEAT—or Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis. Basically, NEAT is the energy you burn doing anything that’s not formal exercise, like tapping your foot, fidgeting, or, with Sitflexx, giving your legs a gentle workout while seated.
Here’s where it gets really interesting: the soleus muscle, a powerhouse in your calves. It’s often called your “second heart” because it pumps blood back to your upper body. Scientists have found that activating this muscle can boost circulation, burn calories, and even help regulate blood sugar. All of this while you sit. Yes, really.
Enter the Sitflexx. This genius little device turns sitting into a health-boosting activity. Just place it under your desk or chair, and lightly pump your feet on its resistance platform. You’ll be activating your soleus muscle, improving circulation, and sneaking in some calorie burn—all without leaving your seat.
The best part? You can use it while working, watching TV, or scrolling Instagram. No gym clothes required, no awkward lunges in the office. Just you, your Sitflexx, and your soon-to-be healthier body.
So, how NEAT is the Sitflexx? Pretty darn neat. Your calves (and your second heart) will thank you!
Here's some research that supports and explains it...
