Do an additional 15 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise in the evening, five days per week.
Incorporate "intervals" into most of your aerobic sessions. Intervals are a powerful tool to help boost your metabolism. Intervals means adding a brief stint of 1 minute aerobic activity every 10 minutes into your regular exercise routine.
Tone your muscles with weight training six days per week. Toned muscles supercharge your metabolism. This should be done just after an aerobic exercise session. You should exercise each body part three times per week. For example, work on the lower body on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and the upper body on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. This can be accomplished at a gym or at home with a few sets of dumbbells.
Do not skip meals. Always eat breakfast. Skipping breakfast sends the message to your body that you are starving because you haven't had food in 18+ hours (dinner the night before to lunch the following day). As a protective mechanism, your metabolism slows down.
Look for ways to be active. Park as far from the store as you can rather than looking for the closest parking spot. Use the stairs rather than the elevator, etc. Look for the hard way to do things.
