i need to raise my metabolism, badly. like, if i eat a lot i won't gain much weight. but if i try to lose weight, it seems almost impossible. if i seriously cut down on junk food and soda and did about 100 crunches a day and walked/jogged/runned for 30-45 minutes a day would that help?
Ignatz answered Tuesday October 30 2007, 3:57 pm: Definitely cut down on the junk food and the soda. Don't eat anything that comes in a box, a bag, or a can. Lots of veggies, small amounts of fruit, no white flour, white rice or white potatoes. Drink lots of water.
Skipping rope is great aerobic exercise: 10 minutes of rope work is equivalent to 30 minutes of running. That's why boxers and MMA fighters do it.
Another thing MMA fighters use is bodyweight exercise. Pushups, pull-ups, squat-thrusts, all the stuff you hate about gym class. You don't need fancy equipment or a gym membership to work out, just some time and dedication. Just eat clean, stay active, and you will see results.
