It’s going to be old news for you to be reminded that exercising is a big part of boosting your metabolism and burning up calories.
Unless you’re born with one of those unusually active metabolisms which allows you to, almost freakishly, eat thousands of calories a day without gaining weight, you’re like the vast majority of us who need to give our metabolisms a bit of a kick through exercising.
Now if the very word ‘exercise’ provokes beads of perspiration and the prospect of two hours ironing is more alluring that even setting foot in a fitness club – don’t do it, because if an activity is that unappealing from the start, you won’t be keeping it up for very long.
That said, if there are no medical reasons why you shouldn’t, and you haven’t ever tried it before, give it a go – you’d be surprised how quickly you get into a rhythm after the first few weeks, and it will only ever get easier!
So, to kick off, if you think that cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise is an important part of boosting your metabolism, you’d be right! Provided that of course, your qualified doctor confirms you are able to start a program of cardiovascular exercise, this is indeed a great place to start. Increasing heart rate, blood circulation, body temperature, and oxygen intake/carbon dioxide exchange all send messages to the system to initiative catabolism (breaking down cells and using them for energy).
Yet if cardiovascular exercising is the place to start, does that mean that it’s the place to end? No!
Many people, who aren’t as educated as you’ll be when you’ve finished this blog series, responsibly start a dedicated program of cardiovascular health, but they don’t go any further. Not because they’re lazy; but because, frankly, they don’t know that there is significantly more that they can do in their home gym, or at the fitness club, that will be a potent boost to their metabolism.
We will focus upon one of these additional activities in blog post 8 – But if you want to start turbo-boosting your metabolism right now, then this is for you - just Click Here
See you then
