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.
