Do a few high-intensity training (HIT) sessions, sprint intervals, or strongman exercises each week. This type of training boosts calorie expenditure in the recovery period and triggers protein synthesis so you build muscle, sustaining metabolic rate. There’s evidence that fit, lean men benefit from shorter, more intense work bouts (such as 30-second all-out intervals), whereas lean, fit women get better results from slightly longer, less intense intervals (such as 30 to 60 seconds at 90 percent of maximal). Keep your HIT workouts to less than 30 minutes and do them separately from strength training, either at a separate time of day or on a different day
