In 2011, researchers at the Mayo Clinic were baffled why, when fed the same diet, some people in a weight loss study gained pounds while others didn’t. So they made their participants wear “magic underwear” that tracked every movement participants made, whether lying, walking, standing or sitting. What they found was that participants who didn’t gain weight were “unconsciously moving around” more than their sitting counterparts. They were finding ways to exercise, simply by getting up and going to the bathroom, taking the stairs, gabbing on the phone while standing and walking in their lunch hour.
