How To Increase Metabolism
How to increase Metabolism
Metabolism-how can we increase it?
You have to make your body more efficient relative to your energy intake.
First off you want to increase muscle mass. You burn 7 to 10 calories per pound of muscle, only 2 to 3 of fat tissue. That will increase the amount of energy expended. I have discussed how to build muscle earlier, but reach out if you want more information on that.
Secondly, is our EPOC system (Excess Post Exercise Oxygen Consumption).
When you have a higher, intense workout you incur lots of energy and oxygen debt. Your muscle activity generally matches how much energy you take in. But, there is a time lag. The harder you work, the bigger the deficit (think catching your breath)
Our body could take several hours after our workout is completed to catch up. This consumes calories, so your workout results will continue.
A good reason to add in high intensity type workouts in your schedule. Plus you will get stronger, increase cardio, and lose weight.
The best course of action is to mix up all kinds of movements and intensity levels.
As discussed previously, proper nutrition and sleep are other important factors for optimizing metabolism and health!
