Jump Start Your Metabolism.
As you get older your metabolism slows down and the pounds increase. What can you do to increase your metabolism and burn more fat? The key is to trick your body into burning more fat. This is done by the right type of exercises. According to Geralyn Coopersmith of the Equinox Fitness Training Institute, “by working with different zones of intensity, your body becomes more efficient at burning calories.” She suggests one day of a longer, steady-paced workout followed by a shorter, high-intensity interval training. This alternate training routine helps you become more fit. The fitter you are the more calories you’ll burn from fat. Next you must add resistance training to your exercise regimen. A pound of muscle burns more than three times the calories as a pound of fat.
Another factor in increasing your fat-burning engine is to eat smaller meals six times a day. By spreading your meals throughout the day actually increases your metabolism. It reminds your body that you are not going into famine mode. Your body will absorb and process food most efficiently. This doesn’t mean you should snack in-between meals on chips, rather it should be sound nutrition like fruits and vegetables.

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010Who Am I?
I am your constant companion,
I am your greatest helper or your heaviest burden.
I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.
I am at your command.
Half of the tasks that you do you might just as well turn over to me and I will do them quickly and correctly.
I am easily managed, you must merely be firm with me, show me exactly how you want something done;
After a few lessons I will do it automatically.
I am the servant of all great people and alas of all failures as well.
Those who are great, I have made great,
Those who are failures, I have made failures.
I am not a machine, but I work with all the precision of a machine,
Plus the intelligence of a person.
Now you may run me for profit or you may run me for ruin. It makes no difference to me.
Take me, Train me, be firm with me,
And I will lay the world at your feet.
Be easy with me and I will destroy you.
I AM CALLED HABIT.
