Ready To Boost Your Metabolism! 3 QUICK TIPS: 1. Drink UP! If you’re not properly hydrated, your body can’t function and it can’t burn fat either! Aim for drinking half your body weight in water. If someone weighs 150 lbs, they should be drinking at least 75 ounces of water throughout the day. If you’re working out add 8 oz for every half hour you sweat. Add flavors like fresh mint, slices of lemon, cucumber or strawberries to a big pitcher of water. 2. HIIT IT! High Intensity Interval Training increases your metabolism for the rest of the day and will leave you feeling energized and feeling strong! Why is HIIT so great? It’s in the science! This type of training causes your body to continue to consume oxygen even after you stop working out. This is why you’re still warm and sweating after you cool down and shower. It’s called EPOC, Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption. Regular HIIT workouts literally turn your body into a lean, fat burning machine! 3. Eat Metabolism Friendly Foods. Eating nutrient dense foods that your body loves is essential to keeping your metabolism in high gear as well as to keep you looking healthy, young and glowing. Focus on eating Lean, Clean & Green most of the time. This means including lean protein, unprocessed foods and plenty of greens, veggies and fruits.
