Knowing how to get your metabolism firing is going to help you GET leaner and STAY
leaner, year round. There are things you can do with your diet and
training which ultimately will do this for you. The reality is the more
tools you have to use the better your results will be, so keep these
following 4 points in
mind.
These are things that you should use to help you stay pretty lean all year round.
1. Cardio
One
thing you should do is keep some
form of cardio in all year round. There are
MULTIPLE benefits to this but
one of the obvious benefits is a more active metabolism. If you are at a
phase where you are either happy with your condition is and want to
maintain, I'd usually keep it to 20-30 minutes 3-4 times a week.
2. Re-feed
days
This
will depend largely on your body composition (are you LEAN enough) and
your current calorie intake Vs. your calorie expenditure. However,
including "high days" is going to potentially have many benefits
including adding fuel to the fire, that is your metabolism. This will
usually mean a higher carb day, which will directly stimulate your
thyroid
output.
3. Thermogenics
In
the supplement industry there are a LOT of natural thermogenic
stimulants which can boost your metabolic rate. IF you do use them then only use them for short
bursts. If you become over reliant on them then that is exactly what
will happen to your body, it will become unresponsive and
ultimately make it more difficult to shift body fat.
4. Higher calories
Along
with cardio this is the simplest form of boosting your metabolic rate!
In MANY cases I find people can eat more whilst NOT gaining anymore body
fat. They can in theory elevate their calorie ceiling without any
negative effects, in fact there's only benefits (apart from your
frigging
food bill!!). An easy, no risk way of doing this is to do it weekly by
around 10-20% of your current intake. Monitor your waistline and body
composition, it's the easiest, simplest way of boosting your
metabolism!!
