Are you somebody who is trying to increase your metabolism after 40 years old, or does it feels like your metabolism is Slow… Like Slow Slow.

Once you hit over 40, it’s like, man, it might as well be a snail that you got running inside your body as far as your metabolism goes.

Don’t worry.

I’ve got three ways that you can implement today that’s going to help you not only increase your metabolism, but do all sorts of other really cool things in your body.

At the Trailblazer Fitness Academy, I teach people how to lose weight and keep it off long term. And one of the things that we focus on, often right in the beginning, is increasing your metabolism, especially if you are over 40.
BUT before we get into it, I want to share with you a little bit about what metabolism is so that we can dive into that and a little bit of sciencey stuff along with some actual steps and a goody at the end.

Metabolism is all of the metabolic processes in your body that require energy.

That energy comes in the form of calories,so by increasing the amount of metabolic processes (like i’m going to explain below) we increase your metabolism. Make sense?

I’ve got three ways that you can implement doing that today, along with science and nerdy stuff about why they work.By doing all three of these steps, implemented at once, you get..

a typhoon, a tsunami, a massive explosion, volcano eruption of metabolism that you’ll start noticing differences even today.

So with that being said meet Kris.

Kris is one of my clients, and was somebody who self-proclaimed that it was impossible for her to lose weight. being a lady’s late 50s, she has tried everything to lose weight and nothing seemed to get the weight off.

BUT, after implementing these three steps in less than a year, she went from that to losing 30 pounds of fat in the process, along with a bunch of other really cool health things that we’re going to dive into. And so I pinky promise you follow these steps.

You’re going to see some massive improvements not only in your metabolism but your body composition, which is ideally what we’re looking for, to typically when somebody feels like they have a slow metabolism, they likely aren’t at the weight they want to be at, too.

#1- Exercise.

But it’s not just exercise that we want. We want weight lifting. We want you to lift weights. We want you to shred muscle. We want you to stimulate this brain of yours to focus and lift some heavy crap. Why is that? Well, muscles, when you build them, burn three times the calories of fat. That’s nice. Especially if we want to boost our metabolism again. The goal of an increased metabolism is to burn more calories, right?
To require your body to have more metabolic processes happen. And if you have more muscle, your body is forced to do that. So you can lift, so you can burn more calories, which also means you can eat more and not gain any weight either!

It releases endorphins that keep you going from going into adrenal fatigue, which is kind of important for number three that we’re going to talk about in a bit.

Lastly, it increases what’s called Excess Post Oxygen Consumption.

This is a big old fancy schmancy word that basically means you have an extended period after you are done where you will be burning more calories.

You can burn up to 800 Calories more per day. By having an extended EPOC. (especially if you follow these workouts)

Not bad. Not bad at all.

Now the next one.

#2 is more activity. Doing more stuff.

Notice if you watch any of my videos. Am I seated when I do that? No.

The majority of the day I’m standing. My chair holds my backpack.

Not because I’m cool, but because if I walk more, if a more active by cleaning, standing, doing chores, vacuuming, playing with my kids, stepping, going up and down stairs, going to the bathroom, drinking water, getting like drinking, have a smaller water vessel that I fill up consistently because I have to walk around and do that

Doing these sorts of things burns a boatload of calories, which is metabolic processes.

10,000 steps per day can burn up to 500 Calories.

An increase in activity also has a 60% reduction of symptoms of depression!

When you depressed what happens? we tend to eat crappy food. What happens when we eat crappy food? That’s a positive feedback loop. When we eat crappy food, we feel bad. But we feel bad because we’re eating crappy food.

Not to mention it reduces joint pain and soreness.

By sitting around for a long time, your your body gets stiff and tight by moving around, by being more active. You’re able to have less joint soreness pain. Your joints are lubricated more, so you’re able to do more activity and not be in pain.

Now, that doesn’t mean you should hit 10,000 steps today, especially if you’ve been very sedentary. If you have no way of tracking your steps or you don’t currently, it’s probably a good idea to get something that can help you track your steps.

Here’s a link to a solid step counter from Amazon with great reviews

Let’s just say 2000 for the day. No big deal. If you go to 2000 to 4000, that’s a two times increase. But it’s really like an extra ten minutes of walking, maybe 15 minutes of walking per day.

And that’s not just you walking around. That’s like, what can I do to increase my steps? Finding ways in your lifestyle to add more activity is going to help you a ton.

If your kids are at dance and you typically sit down in your car or something while they’re at dance..

Can you walk around?

Can you just stand?

Can you just be a little bit more active instead of sitting in your car on your phone at pick up?

Can you park your car, go for a walk and then get your kid from pick up?

These little things make a massive, massive difference. I’m telling you, it’s a huge difference. I’ve had three people lose 100 lbs with me in less than 12 months that are all women, that needed to increase their metabolism, that were all over the age of 40, and all have thyroid problems.

The third one is eating more protein.

You’re going to see how this ties into the first thing in just a second.

You can lose up to 4 pounds MORE per year by eating 30% more protein than somebody who doesn’t eat enough.

But not only that.

As helps you feel fuller when you’re trying to lose weight, because you don’t feel as hungry. Those little craving demons stop shouting at you to cheat on your diet.

It helps aid in repairing and building a muscle from weightlifting.

So you see, if you don’t eat enough protein, you cannot build muscle.

If you cannot build muscle, you’re not getting the three times calorie burn that you would before. If you’re not exercising a lot, you’re going to have not the good endorphins.

If you don’t have the good endorphins and you’re not being active, you see how that you likely are not going to be eating enough protein. You’re going to be eating more carbs and fats because no one is ever binging on chicken breast or binging on kale.

So we can tie all these three things together today that can lead to a massive influx in calories burned per day.

It is phenomenal what happens.

You see now how, Kris, somebody who is a self-proclaimed “can’t lose weight” was missing these three things. And when we added these three things into her routine, into her lifestyle, she was EASILY able to lose 30 pounds. offat relatively quickly,

So to get you started, what I wanted to do is I’ve made a little workout regimen you can follow.
