1) Throw some weight around! - Strength training is key to long term healthy weight management. The more lean muscle mass you have, the higher your metabolic rate, turning your body into a calorie burning machine. A pound of muscle at rest burns 35 calories per day, while a pound of fat burns only 1 calorie. Weight training in the morning hours also helps to rev up your metabolism for the day, increasing your daily caloric burn and gives you a mental edge over those sleepy heads dragging themselves into the day!
2) Rev up your cardio intensity - Short intense cardio work such as interval cardio training can translate into a quick, efficient calorie burn. It's also the key to burning more total calories from fat then traditional lower intensity cardio workouts for the time invested. Stay hydrated and take short breaks to keep your heart rate elevated.
3) Give it a rest! - Take at least 1 day off each week to let your body recover. Over training can result in injury, sleep deprivation and cause your body to crave extra calories to deal with the sluggishness you feel.
