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

Permanent Weight Loss - Healthy Ways to Succeed
There are many diets that may help you to lose weight but as soon as they are finished, the pounds start to creep back on, and then within a few months you are back where you started, probably feeling very de-motivated and frustrated. Most diets are focused on short term goals and do not educate us on long term changes that can easily be made to our diet and lifestyle to ensure we lose weight healthily and permanently.
Well the secret is to lose weight slowly and gradually, which is healthier for you, as the body does not like any sudden changes, so aiming for losing a couple of pounds each week is ideal.
1. One of the most important things is to increase the amount of physical activity you do on a regular basis, which will help to burn calories, and tone and strengthen the body. This doesn’t have to mean using expensive weight loss plans, diet aids or spending hours in the gym, just simply walking for 20 minutes 3 times each week or joining a dance class will help you to get fitter and slimmer. If you have friends that like cycling, swimming or even yoga, why not join their group? Whichever type of exercise you choose, it will help to burn fat fast.
Exercise is a metabolism booster, and your metabolism determines the rate at which your body burns calories - the higher it is, the more successful you will be in achieving permanent weight loss. Exercise helps to build muscle tissue in the body which in turn burns calories at a rate that is ten times higher than that of fat tissue.
2. Cut back on the amount of carbohydrates in your diet and reduce your intake of unhealthy fats. Increase the amount of foods in your diet that are high in fibre and low in fat, such as brown bread, pasta, rice and also fruit and vegetables, which will fill you up fast and are healthier for you.
To make the body use up its stores of fat, reduce your calorie intake …. which doesn’t mean living on a diet of lettuce for months on end! Switch to skimmed milk instead of whole fat milk and if you must, use a sweetener instead of sugar in your tea or coffee. Fizzy drinks can be replaced with water or fruit juices and cutting down on alcohol as much as possible will help you to reduce calories, as will eating slightly smaller portions.
Remember it is important to introduce changes gradually, and also to have realistic expectations. Making a number of small changes to your diet and lifestyle is the easiest way to shed unwanted pounds permanently. Eating one extra biscuit a day can lead to a 5 pound weight gain over the course of a year, so if you eat 1 biscuit less a day, you should lose 5 pounds!
So by reducing your calorie intake together with an increase in your physical activity, you can lose weight both healthily and permanently
Losing weight can improve your health, increase energy levels, reduce stress and is useful in preventing and reversing disease.
