Boosting Your Metabolism

Saturday, May 17th, 2008

One of the biggest secrets to losing weight is boosting your metabolism. What this means is that you should be burning fat even when you are not lifting weights and doing cardio. If your metabolism is naturally increased, then you WILL burn fat. This also explains why some people can lose weight much quicker than some people. There are three classes of body types in this world; ectomorph, mesomorph and endomorph. Ectomorphs are thin people with very fast metabolisms, and they find it very difficult to put on weight. Mesomorphs have a medium build and have a slightly slower metabolism than ectomorphs. Mesomorphs can gain weight easier than ectomorphs, but they can also lose weight just as quickly. People with this body type are usually the ones you find in magazines. They have a natural tendency towards building ideal body weight. Endomorphs are larger framed people, and have a difficult time losing any weight at all. They also have a very slow metabolism, which is the reason why it’s easier for them to store fat as opposed to burn it. They find that’s it’s an uphill climb in order to lose weight. Most people these days find themselves as endomorphs throughout North America, and this is becoming more of an epidemic as obesity rates are increasing more and more every year.

Now if anyone is serious towards losing fat, they have to speed up their metabolism. There is absolutely no way around this! This is especially true for people who have an endomorph body type, and find it difficult to lose body fat. The question is, how do you trick your body into boosting your metabolism like that of an ectomorph? The key is to do short intense periods of cardiovascular endurance 3-4 times per week, and only 15 minutes per session. This is absolutely critical. Doing any more or any less is counter-productive. 15 minutes of intense cardio, 3 times per week, will give your body the necessary push required in boosting your metabolism so you can burn fat even when you’re not in the gym!
