Rev up Your Metabolism

Are you currently witnessing a metabolic slow down? A metabolism that's barely moving is a sure sign of zero fat loss. Your body needs you to do something! Attending our Chandler Boot Camp fitness program would help you boost your metabolism, but we'll go over a few other things as well.

First off, you have to realize you have the capability to get that slow metabolism kicked up a few notches. It simply isn't possible to get into jaw dropping shape with a slow metabolism. How do we put a fire under your metabolism? There are two main keys to keep in mind.

1) Eat


You read it right...Eat! A sluggish metabolism will increase the more frequently and often you eat. Now you can't sit down to a meal of french fries and hot dogs all the time and expect to lose weight. But with a proper diet rich in foods with protein, you will without a doubt see a frisky metabolism. Simply by spreading out those proper meals to small 5-7 meals all through out the day, your body will automatically fire up your internal furnace, known as your metabolism.

The point I'm trying to make is this...similar to how fire burns wood, your body will burn meals that are smaller. By consuming a large high calorie meal, is the same as putting a big oak tree on a small fire. The conclusion: the fire will be smothered out.
On the other hand, if you put several smaller meals in your body through out the day, it's like putting kindling on a fire....you are producing a fuel for instant warmth.
You see, small frequent meals and snacks keep the fire ignited (your metabolism). On the other hand, the big logs (high calorie meals) smother out the fire. We are looking to feel the burn! We can turn up our body's heat by simply eating frequent small meals.

2) Exercise.

Not only does exercise blast away unwanted calories, it gets rid of fat. Not too much of a big surprise. Joining a fitness program like Arizona's Chandler Boot Camp is the best solution to burn fat and calories. "More calories out vs. calories in." That's the basic underlying principle, but there are many other factors that come into play. Lets keep this really easy.

Challenging interval style types of exercises can keep anyone burning calories all through out the day. You have to realize that muscle is an active tissue. This means that it requires calories to maintain it's life. Roughly 40-50 calories per pound of muscle is an estimate on how many calories your body requires per day to sustain it. That might not sound like much, but what if you added 5-10 lbs of lean muscle to your body? You could have the possibility to burn an extra 250-550- calories per day. That is a lot of extra calories! Especially when that happens naturally from having higher muscle mass levels and no additional activity is required....bonus!
Performing exercises that use resistance is the best way to build muscle that burns calories...a.k.a. weight training. If you haven't, then you should make it a point to combine resistance training to your fitness program. Resistance based exercise programs are superior to cardio based activities for supporting your metabolism.

When you incorporate moderate to heavy weights in your fitness routine, you will increase your resting metabolic rate. It is estimated that your resting metabolic rate (RMR) is responsible for roughly 60-70% of your daily energy expenditure. Anything you can do to raise your RMR will have the greatest net effect on your fat loss efforts. From an exercise view, nothing compares to resistance training as far as impact.

Cardiovascular exercise will also help elevate a slow metabolism. Your body will continue to burn additional calories, sometimes hours after you have finished your workout. The more intense (effort) your workout is, the longer your metabolism will continue burning calories at an accelerated rate.

You'll see what happens to your slow metabolic rate when you start to hit your resistance and cardio training with some intense effort. You should begin to notice positive changes to your metabolic rate within a few weeks of applying proper nutrition and a resistance based exercise program. Incorporate some cardiovascular intervals, like at Chandler Boot Camp training, to the mix when you are ready and the skies the limit.
You'll want to eat a diet with healthy foods and sufficient amounts of protein all through out the day. Frequency of eating will bring a slow metabolism back from the dead.
