Do you want to know how you can slim down and burn calories in your sleep?  If you can raise your metabolism, you’ll find the pounds just slid off much more easily.

how to blow your metabolism up through the roof:

The body’s metabolism turns the food you eat into fuel for your body. Faster metabolism equals more calories burnt.  And the more sluggish it is, the more weight you’ll gain.  So, let’s take a look at how to increase your metabolism so you can lose weight fast and easy.

So, calories give your body energy.  The calories that you eat give energy to each and every cell in your body.  These calories fuel the beating of your heart and the thinking of your brain.  The more active you are, the faster you will burn through the calories you eat, and the faster you’ll lose weight.

To shed those pounds you will need to raise your metabolism.  You wan to bump up your resting metabolism, specifically.  When you do this, you’ll be burning calories doing even the most simple errands.

This means you will need to change your lifestyle around.  This means diet and exercise.  Once you do both of these, you’ll see those pounds fall away and never haunt you again.

Healthy Eating:  I know it isn’t easy to give up all your favorite foods.  But it probably won’t need to completely change every thing you eat.  Begin by eating five or so smaller meals each day.  Then you can start finding healthier foods. You’ll probably benefit from eating more carbohydrates and less fats.

Hit the Gym:  We’ll be doing both aerobic and resistance training. You will actively burn calories through aerobic exercises like jogging and biking.  Weight training is not just for bodybuilder.  After each workout, your muscles will eat up all those calories you eat to rebuild and repair themselves.

Do both of these and you’ll see your metabolism shoot through the roof while your weight drops quickly.

Long duration low intensity cardio exercises burn fat while doing them. I recommend you not do these because they do not promote building muscle or burning fat after the exercise is over.

Standard cardio exercises like walking, only burn fat calories while performing the exercise. Try interval training instead, where you alternate short maximal bursts followed by active recovery periods of equal or longer duration. For instance you could sprint for 1 minute and then jog for 3 minutes and repeat this 4 minute interval 5 times for 20 minutes.

The advantages are; shorter workout time, burn more calories (in the form of carbohydrates), build muscle, increase endurance and burn fat calories for the next 24 – 48 hours. Your body will respond by using it’s fat stores to replace the burned fuel for the next day or so. When you increase your muscle you will also burn more calories at rest.

If you want to look like a sprinter then train like one. If you want that marathoner look then go for the long duration low intensity cardio.

I think the best fat burning, use every muscle in your body, weight lifting exercise there is, is the clean & jerk. If you’re on a time crunch and you have to get a workout done fast, just do 3 sets of these. Get this. Your moving a weight from the floor to overhead, 7 or 8 feet. Other lifts you’re moving the weight one third or half that distance. Plus you are using about every push and pull muscle in your body.

Try 3 sets of a weight you can do about 10 reps with, or go for time and try three 60 second rounds and see how many reps you can get in each round. Either way this is one killer workout.

For those of you who don’t know what clean and jerks are, it’s sort of like a deadlift, an upright row and a squat press all rolled into one. I don’t do a technically perfect olympic clean& jerk. My form is not perfect, but I do them for reps, not competition.

To burn fat, stick with the big compound exercises that work the whole body. Clean & Jerks, squats, deadlifts, and to a lesser degree, pullups, dips and benches. For instructions on these exercises, and others, check out, the No Nonsense Muscle Building program by Vince Delmonte.

I think that body weight exercises are your best bang for the buck, and the best program for them is Turbulence Training. The only equipment that you have to have for body weight exercises is your body, so you don’t even need to belong to a gym. Craig Ballantyne will set you up with workout routines that focus mainly, but not entirely, on bodyweight exercises to get you moving, and burning calories and building muscle, without having to join a gym or buying a lot of equipment. Turbulence Training will show you that bodyweight exercises can be the best fat burning exercises.

And of course none of this will do you any good if you don’t eat a clean diet. You can’t out train a bad diet, but, a clean diet will make up for a poor training plan. It’s pretty easy to down that 1,000 calorie pizza in a few minutes. You will never burn it off that fast. You can do all the fat burning exercises you want, if your eating habits are bad, you will never get the ripped look you are after. You might get stronger though.

Run 10 miles an hour for 3 minutes or maybe crank out 3 sets of reps for 60 seconds each of clean & jerks and see how you feel. If your lucky you might have burned 50 calories with all that work. Think twice before downing that pizza.

The dieting market is saturated with millions of weight loss programs that promise overweight people that they can being losing numerous pounds in less than a week. There are even many weight loss programs that promise people that they can begin losing weight within 24 hours.

However, the truth of the matter is that the majority of weight loss programs in the world do not work! In fact, the majority of these weight loss programs are designed for failure from the get-go. That is because there are numerous companies and organizations throughout the world that are simply preying on overweight people in order to turn over a quick buck. Simple weight loss does exist, but it isn’t like you can just snap your fingers, you have to do a bit of work.

When considering a weight loss program you will want to choose a program that first contains a strict diet plan. Secondly, you will want the diet program to also include a physical exercise program. There is no way biologically possible for a person to lose weight and keep the weight off without exercise.

Even when you are dieting your body still collects fat. The only way you can work this fat off is through constant exercise. The problem with this is that most people think they can simply begin dieting and lose weight without exercising. Therefore, the majority of people who do lose weight from a diet, will gain it back within a few weeks or months of losing it.

If you are serious about weight loss and desire to lose weight and keep it off, then you will only want to consider diet programs that feature a sound diet and exercise program. There is no miracle pill that can shed all your weight and keep it off! If you truly desire to find a weight loss program that actually produces results, then you will want to find one that contains some form of exercise.
