Walk a Meal Away
Fitness Tip
Taking a little stroll after a meal is a super way to crank up your metabolism. You will burn off calories, instead of converting them to body fat.
Researchers found that a ten minute walk, started 20 to 30 minutes after a meal, can speed up your body's fat-burning capacity by as much as 50-percent! The best news is that this fat-burning boost in your metabolism can last all night. You will continue to burn extra calories while you sleep!
You have more than 400 muscles in your body that you use daily. For each extra pound of muscle you add to your body, you automatically burn an extra 75 calories a day to maintain it. In contrast, if you add a pound of fat to your body, you are calling on just two calories a day to maintain that extra body mass.
