Tips to speed up metabolism?

[Reaper]

You're supposed to eat a lot of small meals throughout the day. Rather than eating the portion that you're eating now....eat smaller portions and more frequently on a daily basis. I read somewhere that it's suppose to speed up your metabolism.

Give "Reaper" a PM. James just got his certification for personal training. He'll definitely have some helpful information

thanks Johnny but you already hit the nail on the head. Several meals throughout the day in SMALL portions...3part carbs, 2 part protein, 1 part fat. You eat in smaller portions and your stomach will literally shrink.

HIGH REPS LOW WEIGHT, since your trying to lose weight you want to tone instead of bulk. reps of 10-15 and sets of 3 to 4.

STRETCH BEFORE AND AFTER A WORKOUT!!! If you get hurt, your just going to gain weight and your not going to be able to do anything about it.

Abs every other day

Cardio daily, switch your cardio up though, don't just do a treadmil...elliptical, bicycle etc...

Same thing with exercises, if you did 1 workout style one week, change it up the next!!!

www.bodybuilding.com is a great place to find exercises for ALL muscles and you can easily change it up weekly!!

Just a basic example....

Mon-"pushing" (chest, triceps, abs, cardio)
Tuesdays-cardio
Wed-"pulling" (back, biceps, abs,cardio) make sure you do 2x's as many exercises with your back than your chest...you don't wanna look like a gorilla after a while...it'll naturally pull your shoulders back.
Thursdays-cardio
Fridays-Legs, abs, shoulders, cardio

Go to GNC or www.vitacost.com and get you a Animal Pak. It'll help with your metabolism and give you the vitamins ya need as well as energy.

Are you taking any suppliments? What kind of workout have you started? Whats your height/Weight? You can PM me if you'd like. take in ONLY water and milk(during meals only). Water throughout the day will keep you full. Just understand your gonna piss alot lol.


hope this helps
