How To Raise Metabolism To Burn Fat

by ChrisChew

Do you know that you are actually fighting against nature when
you are attempting to lose weight? You see, way back long ago,
when a caveman's next meal was uncertain and he was hungry, the
body will store and conserve as much fat as possible to ensure
its survival.

Furthermore, it will lower the metabolism rate so that less fat
is being burnt for energy. Therefore we all have this built-in
survival mechanism and this is the reason why skipping meals when
trying to lose weight is not such a good idea. Now, you can see
why it is so easy to gain weight and so difficult to lose them?

Although we now have certainty when our next meal is coming, our
body will still instinctively store fat for it is a natural
survival mechanism since the body can't think. Fortunately, there
are a number of ways we can raise our metabolism and keep fat at
bay.

If you want to burn fat by raising your metabolism, try lifting
weights. Lift weights using compound exercises with high
repetitions. The idea is not to build muscles but to raise your
metabolism in order to burn fat. Since compound exercises such as
dead lifts, squats and bench presses work on many muscle parts,
you will be puffing and panting. In other words, you are having a
good fat burning cardio work out.

Because the exercises work on many muscle parts, more calories
are expanded and that meant more fat is burnt. Don't waste your
time doing puny exercises like bicep curls or tricep extensions.
Yes, these exercises have their places, but they are not
efficient for fat burning.

You should also limit the number of sets of each exercise to 3
or 4 sets since there are some studies showing that there is no
difference in doing four or six sets for fat burning purpose.

Next, do pay close attention to how long you rest in between
sets. Resting for too long, say for 2 minutes will clear a fat
burning hormone releasing chemical called lactate from your
bloodstream. Therefore if you want to burn fat, you need to keep
lactate in your blood stream for as long as possible. Therefore
do not rest more than a minute in between sets.

Yes, you say that there is not sufficient recovery time after
the last set and performing the next set before recovery will not
be efficient. Well, you can get around this easily by alternating
the exercises such as doing a lower body exercise, and then do an
upper body exercise next.

Tempo when lifting weight is vitally important. By swinging your
weights up and down will get you nowhere, perhaps even getting an
injury. This is because when you swing the weight up, you are
using momentum and when you lower them quickly, you are using
gravity to assist you.

Therefore, slow things down to a consistent rhythm but fairly
quickly enough to get a cardio workout.

Although the above exercise techniques are not meant for
building muscles but for raising metabolism to burn fat, if you
have never lifted weights before, you will also gain some
muscles. Do know that muscles are natural fat burner and the more
muscle mass you have, the higher your metabolism. When you have
gained enough muscles, you will become a natural fat burner.
