How to Boost Your Metabolism
The best way to boost your metabolism is to change your body composition. This means to have more muscle and less fat. As we age, we lose muscle and it is replaced with fat. The average adult loses about 6.6 pounds of muscle a decade.
By age 65 the body has doubled its fat mass and lost half its muscle mass. This is a reason why many people gain weight. Since muscle is more metabolically active than fat, you either have eat less and less, excursive more or you gain weight. The best way to boost your metabolism is to engage in a progressive weight training program to prevent the decline in muscle. This should be done at a gym or preferably with a trainer.
Most trainers recommend doing three sets of an exercise with 8 to 12 repetitions until you cannot do more than the 12 repetitions but light enough so you can do at least 8. It is important to do the repetitions slowly count to 2 holding at the two of the contraction for 1 second. Lowering should be done to the count of 4.
The recommended exercise to boost metabolism is also to do aerobic exercise most days of the week (at least 5) and strength train for three days with a day off in between for recovery. You might also want to alternate between upper and lower body. For example do upper body on Monday and Friday and lower body on Wednesday. The following week you would do the opposite.
