Weight-Lifting: to Boost Metabolism
Exercise to Raise Metabolic Rate
One way to boost
the body's metabolism (the rate at which it expends energy at rest), is to perform a regular fitness workout - such as weight lifting.
Weight-Lifting: Faster Metabolic Rate
The benefits of a faster metabolism include faster weight reduction and fat loss. It also helps maintain a normal weight level in middle age. In addition, a regular weight lifting workout helps maintain normal blood glucose levels, as well as normal cholesterol and blood pressure.
Weight-Lifting: Calorie-Burning
About 45 minutes of weight lifting burns about 180 calories. In one year, this physical fitness workout uses up a total of 65,700 calories - about 19 pounds of body weight.
Weight-Lifting and Diet
As well as taking regular weight lifting exercise, try to follow a healthy, balanced diet. All weight loss trials show that a nutritious calorie-controlled eating plan is essential for long term weight control.
