The other day, I posted an awesome article containing eight foods to boost your metabolism, and today I want to give you a metabolism-boosting tip from the other side.
Build muscle.
Now I know that a lot of people (women mostly) don’t want to be buff; I’m included in that. But having some nice lean muscles will help you burn even more calories all day long, even while you sleep.
So make sure you add some strength training with your cardio into your exercise regime. And if you don’t already have some weight sets, don’t think you need to splurge and buy some. Your own body weight is your best form of resistance. Push ups, crunches, lunges, and squats can be your worst enemy and best friend at the same time, and there are many variations of each that will add variation and extra difficulty. So feel the burn and burn those calories.
