If you aren't sweating profusely when doing cardio, you will not see the results you expect. To see real results and reap the rewards from your aerobic workouts you'll have to sweat by the bucketful. You can get leaner and fitter by doing intense cardio workouts, which in turn will burn fat off and at the same time improve your cardiovascular fitness. This type of workout will also increase your metabolism, and not just when working out, but for a long time after as well. To maximize your metabolism (and everyone is able to increase their current metabolism) combine your cardio efforts with … [Read more...]

How Can Weight Training Help Me Lose Fat?
In the past everybody thought cardio was the way to go for a lean body. Then we ended up with a bunch of "skinny fat" people with lots of endurance (and oftentimes overuse injuries) and no muscle to be toned and shaped. Do you want to look like a marathon runner or a Hollywood starlet? Yup, their Personal Trainer doesn't just stand there while they are running on a treadmill. Far from it! They lift weights and do body weight exercises like squats and pushups. Lot's of them. Weight training will enable you to increase your metabolism in two ways and thereby accelerate your fat burning. When you … [Read more...]

What Is The Best Way To Increase My Metabolism?
The speed of our metabolism is not fixed and can increase or decrease depending on our diet and activities. One of the ways to increase metabolism via nutrition is to eat 5 - 6 small meals a day rather than 1 - 3 large meals. Each meal should contain a combination of carbohydrates, proteins and fats to facilitate slower digestion and release of nutrients into the blood stream, therefore avoiding spikes in insulin levels. This will not only increase metabolism, but also your energy level throughout the day. I believe the only way to eat this often is to plan in advance and always have healthy snacks … [Read more...]

UltraMetabolism
I just finished reading the book UltraMetabolism by Mark Hyman, M.D., and I am excited! I am a big believer in the fact that nobody is born with a slow metabolism and we all can take steps to build and improve our individual metabolism. UltraMetabolism shows how you can lose weight by improving the fundamental health problems that cause obesity and disease. The ideas in the book are based on nutrigenomics, which is the science of how food talks to your genes and how nutrition is related to our health. Mark Human, M.D., is the editor in chief of Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine, the … [Read more...]
