Burning calories throughout the day can be boosted by a few simple activities.
Keep fat burning from the minute you open your eyes. How? With these tricks you’ll happily kickstart fat burning.
1) Start with caffeine
Caffeine can increase metabolic rate by up to 11 percent. However, if you’re not a fan of caffeine, try green tea, which can boast similar benefits to coffee but also contains antioxidants that lead to the breakdown of fat cells.
2) Then have a breakfast rich in protein
Breakfast is the fuel that will speed up your metabolism right at the start of the day. If you have little appetite after waking, it’s okay to wait an hour or two. Just make sure you eat breakfast within 45 minutes after morning exercise, which will help the body replenish stores and recover. Bet on protein – the metabolism burns more calories digesting it than fat or carbohydrates and will keep you fuller longer.
3) Try interval training
Exercising before breakfast helps the body burn more fat. You’ll gain even more benefits by combining interval training – such as alternating between jogging and sprinting.
Such exercise burns more calories than steady-state cardio, and it also increases post-exercise oxygen consumption, which causes the metabolism to stay elevated longer.
4) Or try strength training
You will not only feel the burn throughout your body, but also calorie burning! Weight training contributes to an increased metabolism throughout the day. For more benefits combine strength training and high-intensity interval training.
