Kick-start your body’s fight against fat with these simple diet and exercise tips.
Everyone’s metabolism (the rate at which the body burns kilojoules) is different and is influenced by many factors. These include age (your basal metabolic rate [BMR], the standard measurement for metabolism, slows naturally for every 10 years past age 30); gender (men have more lean muscle than women, which can make their BMR faster); genetics; height and weight. You can’t turn back the clock or change your sex, but you might be able to improve your BMR and so burn more kilojoules. Here’s how.
GET MOVING

If you’re a morning person, wake up early to do 15 minutes of resistance training, such as squats or push-ups. Or get active later in the day: walk, bike-ride, or dance like mad while preparing dinner. Read more of 8 Ways To Boost Your Metabolism
