Alin75 answered Saturday May 20 2006, 1:54 pm: Resistance training is the best exercise to boost the metabolism (i.e. things like weights at the gym). Cardiovascular exercise tends only to boost it for shorter periods of time. Also, with either kind, variation in your exercise routine is also important (changing intensity levels, duration etc).
Now, apart from that, eat very often. Eating 4-6 meals a day (i.e. every 3 to 4 hours) is one of the most effective things you can do. It tells the body there is plenty of food and it keeps your metablism going. Your meals should be small and balanced (containing carbs, protein and fat in the right proportions). Your calorie consumption should be divided relatively equally amongst these meals (so no meal should be much bigger or smaller than the others). Also drink a lot of water.

Vikki27 answered Saturday May 20 2006, 1:39 pm: Exercise is the best way to boost your metabolism. It needs to be cardiovascular exercise, for example, skipping, running, fast walking, cycling or swimming. Make sure that you do these two to three times a week for around 30-40 minutes. This should boost your metabolism but it is a commitment and if you don't keep doing it, it will slow down again over time. [ Vikki27's advice column | Ask Vikki27 A Question ]
