Ways To Increase Metabolism

Your metabolism determines how much calories you burn in a particular day. Higher metabolish means high amount of calories burnt. If you have a low metabolism, then you won't burn so many calories.

Anyone who intends to loss weight much have a very high metabolism but it is quiet unfortunate that many people who intend to loss weight have a bad diet plan , they hardly exercise ,some skip meals or even starve themselves. For many, it takes a drastic change in their daily eating and exercise habits for them to finally lose weight. It might seem hard, but it can be done!

Though it may seem hard to increase your metabolism but you can do it if you follow these simple tips

1. First before the start - make sure you are ready for this

Ask yourself the following questions:

a) Is weight loss your top priority? b) Is dieting right for you? c) Do you have the right motivation? d) Are you able to devote 20-30% of your time to your body? e) Would you accept the things you can not change? f) Do your family and friends support you?

If your answer is YES to all the above questions then you are ready.


2. Workout smartly

Did you know you can actually lose more weight & keep your metabolism fired up longer by doing 3-to-4 shorter 10-minute workouts instead of 1 big 30-to-40-minute cardio workout?

A research study at the university of Pittsburgh found that women who split up their 40 minute cardio workouts into 4 separate 10 minute cardio workout sessions during the day LOST 20 pounds while... the group of women who did one big 40 minute cardio workout only lost 14 pounds and...

The reason why more shorter workouts are better is because you never give your fat burning metabolism a chance to slow down.

3. Aerobic/cardio Work out : Aerobic/cardio workout helps in the reduction of fat and metabolic rate. Ensure to engage in serious aerobic/cardio training 2 to 4 days a week will help in the fat burning process and also in metabolic rate. Many believe Calorie are being burnt while engaging in aerobic exercise only but the truth is , you are burning calories during the exercise AND you are conditioning the body to burn more calories even after the cardio session is done. Short cardio sessions ( 10 - 20 minutes ) will help increase body metabolic rate so as to burn off more calories even when sleeping or resting.To see more results fast endure to engage in cardio sessions for a minimum of four 15-20 minutes sessions a week .

4. Do not Skip Meals : Eating small frequent meals help to balance your calorie intake throughout the day and also keeps your blood sugar level balanced. Instead of eating 3 big meals, try to eat 5 - 6 smaller meals throughout the day.

5. Passionately kiss your partner 10 times a day. According to the 1991 Kinsey Institute New Report on Sex, a passionate kiss burns 6.4 calories per minute. Ten minutes a day of kissing equates to about 23,000 calories -- or eight pounds -- a year!
