Top ways to improve your METABOLISM
Step 1: Build MUSCLE through strength training.
Muscle is what ultimately controls and powers your metabolism. More muscle = faster metabolism. This is because muscle burns more calories at rest and enables activity.
Step 2: Focus on PROTEIN!
Protein has the HIGHEST thermogenic effect when consumed (boosts your metabolism during digestion), sustains your muscle, controls your hunger.
Step 3: Keep moving! And get HIIT in.
Movement gets your metabolism GOING and the best way to improve your metabolism through exercise is high intensity exercise—so get some HIIT in each week. The post exercise energy expenditure is higher all day after hard workouts.
Step 4: Move throughout the day
Active couch potatoes (workout then don’t move all day) have worse metabolisms than people who continue to get movement in throughout the day.
Step 5: EAT ENOUGH!
Undereating puts your body into starvation mode, slowing down your metabolism to conserve energy. This is so damaging!
I hope you implement these tips in order to have a THRIVING metabolism throughout your life!
