Here's the answer.. it's interesting what you write = wanting to not move if you allow the body to not move and wanting more of it when you do allow for it.
Personally, I probably made the biggest change about 2 years ago, when I decided, to not simply take my bike for inner city errands but to walk everywhere. So, instead of being where I needed to be in just 5 minutes, it takes me at least twice as much time and.. I have to carry everything on my back or even in my hands, rather than having the weight supported by the bicycle. BIG difference.
At the time I actually didn't think of NEAT but thought to increase fitness level this way. Turns out the impact on total calorie burn was much larger than anticipated.
Most days I am also quite active indoor as I work from home and pack up parcels upstairs but keep at least half of the stock downstairs (due to limited storage capacity).. it all adds up. Not having a tv, dishwasher or clothes-dryer helps with NEAT too . Now just get rid of the internet addiction.
By contrast, I'm no longer cycling much at all and use my car for even moderate distances that I used to say about they were too short to even consider driving.
Used to log at least 5000 miles on the bicycle, but then again was often too tired do much NEAT at all on week days)
