To efficiently "fire up" your metabolism, keep in mind the following tips:

Do not miss meals!! It really is better to take in 6 smaller meals each day rather than skip a significant daily meal -- particularly breakfast. I drink Shakeology first thing each morning, to have my body fueled to the fullest extent before my training!!

* Interval training (mixing cardio and strength training) workout are great for burning calories and to speed up your metabolism.

* Drink lots of water so that your system can easily rid itself of the toxic compounds which pull down your metabolism to a sluggish level. You will be impressed by your higher energy level just because of enjoying more water.

* Tone your muscles. Use weights or resistance bands to firm and tone your muscles, ridding yourself of fat and replacing it with lean muscles.

* Don't indulge before bed time. Allow the body a chance to deal with extra calories before it slows down for rest.

You really ought to lessen your alcohol consumption. A glass of wine is alright sometimes however, you don't need to drink the whole cardboard package of Cheap White Zin...lol!! Alcohol is much like a "Yield" sign for the metabolism. Ensure that it stays to a minimum. Keep in mind that alcohol is essentially pure sugar.

Start working right now to rev-up your metabolism. Don't forget, that after your metabolism boosts, you'll be a lot happier with the your progress!!
