Gear Up Your Metabolism

By Victor Chamberlain


With your busy agenda and having more responsibilities than ever , you might question how could you probably have enough time to work out in the gymnasium and still have a good body that looks really good.

Perhaps your goal is not to be the new Mr or Mrs Universe, but you almost certainly wish to feel more comfortable in your clothes, have more energy, and overall just feel OK about yourself.

You may well think you will need to spend 2 - 3 hours a day in the gymnasium to attain all of those goals. Well, the good news is you may have more energy, fit better in your clothes, and feel happier about yourself with exercise programs that are less than 1 hour each day.

If you would like to actually maximise your calorie burn when you go to the gym, then I need you to focus upon working your larger muscle groups. What I'm saying by that is, working out your legs, chest, and back.

You don't need to work all 3 of those in a session, unless you actually want to challenge yourself. But choose one of those muscle collections, for example legs, in a day, and focus on doing compound movements.

Compound movements for your legs would be exercises such as squats, step ups, lunges, and leg presses. If you're trying to burn the most calories in less time, then I might avoid doing isolation exercises and focus rather more on the compound movements.

The subsequent query you may have is regarding cardiovascular. Where does it come into play with this? My response to you is, you need to do cardio after you do your weights and then, if you are going for optimum calorie burn, do interval training.

Interval training involves doing something with strong intensity for a specified amount of time followed by rest. For instance, sprint on the treadmill for 30 seconds and then walk on the treadmill for 30 seconds and repeat for 20 minutes.

You could easily get away with working out in forty five minutes ( twenty minutes weights / twenty-five minutes cardiovascular ) and still get good results. Try it and let me know how it works for you.

Those are some quick guidelines to follow when you're making an attempt to burn off more calories in less time. Hope those tips helped. The main thing is to keep moving intermittently during the day and get your workout sessions in on a regular basis.
