Fremantle Bootcamp Instructor S Tips To Boost Your Metabolism And Melt The Fat Away

As a Perth personal trainer, I often get asked on what is the best and quickest way to lose the fat. Very often, most people who works out or exercise think that it is about doing a lot of cardio aerobic type workout to create a deficit in energy balance. However, most people overlooked the massive amount of time involved in aerobic workout to see any results and its sustainability. In truth, the best way is to fix the sluggish resting metabolism as it is accountable for 60 70 of your daily energy expenditure. Aerobic training alone just do not cut it.

Doesn t it make more sense to work on the metabolism than just grind yourself away on the boring treadmill all day long trying to create a calorie deficit?

With higher metabolism, the body becomes more effective in losing the fat. The following are 5 tips you can take to kickstart your metabolism.

Eat Breakfast

This can be an important puzzle to increasing your metabolism. Too often, most people give the breakfast a miss without knowing that they are causing a decrease in their already sluggish metabolism. The worse part is that your body becomes more prone to fat storage when the metabolism is low. Be sure to start your day with a healthy breakfast made up of healthy protein and carbs filled with fibers. This way it will bump up the metabolism and optimise the fat burning capacity of the body.

Eat Throughout the Day

Eating multiple times a day between 5 6 times can help increase metabolism and weight loss. By eating constantly a small portion of food, you induce the thermic effect caused by food digestion without the risk of putting on any weight. And it has been found in studies that people who eat more small meals lose more weight and people actually gain weight from cutting back on number of meals.

Perform High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)

Traditionally, long slow aerobic exercises are prescribed for weight loss. The truth is it can be the most time consuming, boring and painful way to weight loss. Currently, HIIT training has been found to be the most efficient in terms of time saving and fat loss. Not only it does not required too much time involved it is more effective in banishing the tummy fat than the long slow aerobic exercises. In terms of metabolism. HIIT help preserve lean muscle mass and elevate metabolism between 24 48 hours. However, it is important to get your doctor’s clearance before engaging in this vigorous form of exercise.

Muscle Training

Train the muscle using free weights, bodyweights or anything that challenge the muscles and allow it to develop more lean muscle mass. Muscle training is not only important in preserving the existing muscle mass but also helps consume more energy meaning the body is more efficient in burning fat at rest. The best form of muscle training is to engage in compound movement or multi jointed exercises that targets the most muscles groups at a time. This way you train more muscles and increase high energy expenditure. Be sure to train the muscles 2 3 times a week.

NO Starvation

Be sure not to starve yourself by missing all your meals. This is often a strategy that backfires quickly and commonly used by the desperate people who wants to lose weight fast. Starvation leads to binge eating and easy fat gain with the slow metabolism.
