1. Start Exercising first thing in the morning.
Whilst you will probably not feel up to it, if you are serious about losing weight and burning off the calories then please make sure that you exercise first thing in the morning as soon as you get up. There has been a great deal of research conducted to ascertain what is the optimal time for fat burning, and studies show that early morning is best because it allows you to burn off at least 3 times the desired amount of fat.
During the course of the day your body has to rely upon a source of energy in order to more effectively carry out the various chemical processes which typically take place in the body (and which incidentally you have no control over).
The primary source of fuel in all cases is carbohydrates and even whilst you are fast asleep the carbohydrates are being used by the body as it works away ensuring that all of the various chemical processes are conducted safely and competently. Perhaps the more perceptive of you will have caught onto the fact that whilst you are using up (and thereby depleting) your carbohydrate stores, you are not actually taking any in. As you physically wake up in the morning, your carbohydrates are now gone meaning that your body then has to tap into the fat reserves in order to provide sufficient energy to power the reactions.
In order to maximise the fat burning capabilities of the body then, you need to ensure that you carry out the exercises before you actually eat anything (reason being is because that when you do eat something, you will have replenished the body with the necessary carbohydrates).
Working out so early in the morning also means that your metabolism runs at an all time high, and will mean that it remains high during the course of the day and an increased metabolism which is running at peak capacity equates to greater calorie burning capabilities.
Exercising in the morning is also great for staving off the stresses of the day, because exercise is responsible for the production of endorphins, which are the body’s natural painkillers and which create feelings of euphoria and contentment. Feel that self-satisfied glow during the whole of the day!
Advanced Tip: Want to burn even more fat? Add another workout to your daily routine 4-6 hours after your morning workout. Keep your already high metabolism higher by adding a 2nd workout during the day. If you're seriously thinking about adding a 2nd workout to your daily routine then try to do your cardio workouts in the morning.
Mostly fat calories are burned doing cardio at a moderate intensities. Make your 2nd workout of the day a workout with weights. Mostly carbohydrate is burned doing weight-training workouts. The muscle that you build from weight training will also help you burn fat. 1lb of Muscle burns 50 calories a day or 1lb of fat every 70 days.
2. Eat Breakfast.
Another simple but remarkably effective way of ensuring that your metabolism is kept at an all time high is to ensure that you have a decent breakfast after you have had your morning workout.
Imagine your metabolism is an engine in a train, or a log fireplace, which burns fat all day long so long as you keep the fire going. Eating breakfast will not only ensure that your metabolism is working in perfect order but will also help to stave off the mid-morning sugar cravings which we all tend to suffer from and which mean we give into temptation and end up scoffing a lot of junk food.
Another excellent way to ensure that your metabolism is working at peak capacity is to eat several mini meals per day rather than a couple large meals, and make sure that you evenly space out the mini meals. Returning to our fireplace analogy, these mini meals would be the physiological equivalent of throwing yet another log onto the fireplace.
