Thinking of ways to get your metabolism revving to start burning more body fat? Don't ever get caught in the mind trap of
telling yourself your metabolism is slow and that there's nothing
that can be done , it's who I am. Stop wishing to yourself that you
wish you had "their" metabolism! You can and you will! Lets
Light that match and fire up that metabolism! Below are some
fuel to add to your fire!
1. Let's go for the AfterBurn!
Hesitant to add weight training into your routine? Here's something
that may convince you. After a great bout of cardio your body's metabolism is burning but drops off at about 45-60 minutes after you have stopped. After a bout of weight training your body continues to burn calories for up to 4-6 hours later!
2. Wake up and Get Moving!
The best time to lose body fat is first thing in the morning! You haven't put anything into the body yet so it's going to use your body fat stores as fuel to get you through your workout! We were just talking about AfterBurn above, well this will have you burning through out the day!
3. Drink ice cold water!
Not only will this help to prevent you from getting bloated from excess water weight and flush the bad toxins out of your body but also increase your metabolism! The body has to get to work to warm up the cold water, so it's burning calories and increasing your metabolism!
4. Add some Spice!
Many studies have shown can increase your metabolism by 8-20%
for at least 30 minutes after eating them! Other studies have proved
that Hot Peppers can increase your fat burning metabolism by adding just 3 grams of chili peppers to meals. Spicy mustard made people burn an extra 45-75 calories over 3 hours! All that from just adding some spice to your favorite recipes!
5. Pack on the Muscle!
Adding just 1 pound of muscle burns 35-50 calories a day just standing still doing absolutely nothing! Adding 5 pounds of muscle will burn 70-100 calories a day! You'll lose about 7-11 pounds of fat per year. You may not think that is a lot but when you gain 5 pounds of muscle you'll look incredibly slimmer because muscle takes up A LOT less space than fat does!
