How To Speed Up Your Metabolism

#2. UTILIZE INTERVAL TRAINING

Maximize the calories you burn after exercise by integrating high-intensity intervals into your workout. Alternate three minutes of moderately intense running, biking, jumping jacks, jump rope, etc. with 30 seconds of balls-to-the-wall effort. According to Bernardi, you’ll torch another 100 to 200 calories daily using this method.

#3. GET YOUR REST

A new study confirms what most of us already knew: Guys who stay up late get fat. Aside from making you a cantankerous jerk, skimping on sleep also slows your metabolism, says Sanjay Patel, MD, assistant professor of medicine at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio.
