It's just science! The reason why people become overweight is because they take in more calories than they're burning. It is that simple.
To lose weight you need to make the machine work, and by that I mean your body. Cardiovascular activity burns calories for the duration of your exercise. Muscle works like a calorie burning machine by itself, for example, if you lift weights for an hour your body will likely be burning calories all day long!
Personally I prefer to have a lean body than a very muscular one, so lifting weights is not my everyday choice. If this is your case, don't worry, there are exercises that work your muscles without getting too big. Here are some options:
- Body Pump
- Lift light weights
- Resistance training
- Sprinting
- Yoga
- Pilates
If you want to BOOST your metabolism remember these 4 things:
- Do not skip meals (especially breakfast
- Eat a balanced and substantial breakfast
- Get some sleep
- Exercise, work your muscles.
