On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy opened with Andrew Wood with Muve. His company has created a device called The Gruve which is a positive feedback activity based wellness solution to monitor and increase your activity 
and help you lose weight. You wear the Gruve on your waistband of your pants and it records all the activity you are doing throughout the day. You then plug it into your computer and you can literally see a minute by minute graph of your daily activity. The Gruve is based upon the work of Dr James Levine’s non-exercise activity thermogenesis or NEAT. They created this device because one of the main differences between fat people and thin people is that thin people move more throughout the day than fat people do. And we are not talking about thin people exercising like crazy and running marathons they are just moving around more. Created with help from the Mayo Clinic the Gruve encourages and tracks all of your movement – in accordance with the NEAT method of exercise and weight loss management. It actually vibrates when you are sitting around too long in order to encourage you to get off your butt and move a round a little bit. During their research in creating the Gruve they discovered that Gruve users increased their activity behavior and that caused a drop in their blood pressure and blood lipid levels along with weight loss.
