Thanks for this. I’ve been hitting the gym hard lately ans have found exactly what you’ve said about resistance machinery improving metabolism.

Great advice… Thanks :)

This is some great information. It took me a while to get on the right track to lose weight. I had to change my exercise plan up. One thing I did was stop doing the same exercises I realize you should keep your body out of it’s comfort zone.

There is no workout that can bit a diet. Food is very important for melting fat. Also resistant training, I would recommend total body workout, or circular workout, combined with cardio as walking, running – my favorite is hitting the punch bag, would be great formula for boosting metabolism and burning fat.

As both a nutritionalist and a personal trainer, i believe that there must always be a balance between the amount of intake versus the cardio vascular output everyday. It is no secret that a balanced diet and a regular workout using the right muscle groups will lead to a healthy lifestyle.

Hey Bridget. Totally agree. I’d even go as far as saying that 60%-70% of your results are down to diet. Food is like your body’s fuel. If you give your body high quality food then it can perform to its full potential when you exercise. If you give your body low quality food then it cannot perform as efficiently. Plus, there’s also countless health benefits associated with eating high quality foods. Diet really is a decisive factor.

Great article!
I know from personal experience that diet is just as, if not more important than exercise. I used to “reward” myself for a good workout by eating chocolate and sugary treats – not good. I wondered why I was actually getting fatter and still feeling sluggish!
Since starting to eat a healthy diet and cutting out sugar I have much more energy and have seen great improvements in my fitness levels as well as fat loss. I am sure my metabolism is working better now – I certainly feel better :-)
