Who Else Wants To Speed Up Their Metabolism

This article will teach you how to speed up your metabolism.

Ask 10 people what kind of exercise you should be doing to burn fat quickly and speed up your metabolism and they will probably all tell you the same thing. They will say that, three to five times per week, you should exercise on the treadmill, the elliptical machine, the stair climber, etc for thirty to forty minutes at a moderate aerobic speed. The more the better is what they will most likely tell you… Four times a week is better that three and five times a week is even better.

People will tell you this because that’s been and continues to be the mainstream recommendation for burning fat fast by many fitness professionals. Get in a certain target heart rate and stay at that heart rate for 30 minutes or so, several times per week.

I am here to tell you there is a better way to speed up your metabolism. If all you are doing is burning some fat while running on a treadmill to nowhere, you won’t make a complete body transformation.

Here are a few reasons why this kind of exercise can really be counterproductive to burning fat. Be aware that during the workout sessions, long duration exercise and lower intensity aerobics will use the reserve body fat. While this may sound good, this will not speed up your metabolism and this can actually cause your body to create more body fat to keep in reserve and have ready for your next workout.

Yikes!  When this type of exercise is done frequently as typically suggested, it trains the cardiovascular system to be efficient and in this case that is not good. Once more, this may sound good, but your heart and lungs can actually reduce their capacity for work, as they are getting more efficient at doing an easy task (as an example, your long duration, low intensity aerobic workouts), which will reduce your heart and lungs ability to handle physical stress.

There are many other physical problems this can lead to including a higher chance of heart failure. When you work within your current aerobic capacity you are not challenging it to increase it’s capability. And anything that is easy will not yield results even close to what is challenging for the body to accomplish. To be able to handle stress more easily you should be challenging your body to increase its capability. How do you do this? Resistance Training is the fastest and most efficient way to speed up your metabolism, burn fat fast, and develop lifelong health and fitness that will add lean muscle to your body.

If you want life changing results in the quickest possible time, then get stronger and build some muscle. When you add lean muscle to your body you will turn your body into a fat burning machine!

Let’s say that you were eating the amount of calories that allow you to maintain your current body-weight, but began to add lean muscle to your body through proper resistance training…you’ll need to use some of those calories you’re eating to feed the new muscle, creating a calorie deficit in your body. 

Also, when you stimulate your body with the right anaerobic training like I teach my students, the repair and growth process will start using your stored body fat for energy. You will be able to burn fat fast all day long with this calorie deficit along with the repair and growth process.

You’ll even get these fat burning effects when you’re sitting around doing nothing at all. Your heart and lung’s capacity for work will increase with properly conducted resistance training. 

By placing intense demands on your body, it is forced to be ready for anything you throw at it. This makes you more resistant to cardiovascular health problems that plague most people…and that includes those that exercise using aerobics frequently.

What I have discovered is that you don’t have to spend a lot of time working out to get the fat loss effects, increase your metabolism and gain strength and muscle…you can actually get it done with 2 or 3 weekly workouts that last between 20 and 30 minutes, and even less time at an advanced level.

Remember the key to raising your fat burning capability to the max is to speed up your metabolism.

You will increase up your metabolism if you use the physical exercises properly.

And it’s easy to make this type of exercise part of your life because of its efficiency…and it will help keep you lean and healthy for the rest of your life…muscle is the stuff that fat burning furnaces are made of! I can promise you that.
