How do you increase metabolic rate?

Answer 1

There are many ways that the body may experience an increase in metabolism (infections, hyperthyroidism, pregnancy, growth spurts, etc). Exercising is the one over which we have the most control. However, the kind of exercise that you do is very important. Most people think that the best way to increase metabolism with exercise is to go jogging or do some other endurance cardiovascular exercise. Although this does help a little (it certainly is the best for your heart health), the most efficient way to change your resting metabolism is to build muscle mass.

Muscle is very metabolically active, so if you have a high muscle mass you will consequently have a higher metabolism overall. This is the reason why men generally have higher metabolisms than women; they are not only bigger but they have more muscle mass simply due to a much higher level of testosterone.

Answer 2

One of the best ways to immediately kick start your metabolism is to do interval running. Basically, instead of just running for a long time, you alternate between running fast and walking or lightly jogging. This helps to move your heart rate up and down which can lead to a boost in not only fat burning but also metabolism speed.
