What hormone increases metabolism?

In relation to "increase my metabolism", here are five excellent metabolism boosters.

Everyone is different, but the following program will work well for most people. It is a fat burning program that can be sustained until one's dotage. Therefore, you will be able to lose body fat AND keep it off indefinitely. After all, why lose body fat only to regain. I'll begin with eating and then move on to exercise. First, eat a meal about every 3 waking hours (5 or 6 meals per day). You will not be eating more food; you will simply be spreading it throughout the day. Each of those 5 or 6 feedings should contain at least 15 grams of unprocessed protein (from natural sources) for a female or at least 20 grams per feeding for a male. Second, eliminate processed (refined) carbohydrates from your diet. Processed (refined) carbohydrates have negative effects on health. They also slow down metabolism. When digested all carbohydrates turn into sugar, and sugar becomes fat. Therefore, think of eating carbohydrates as eating sugar and think of eating processed (refined) carbohydrates as eating concentrated sugar. Half way down this page, listed under the 'Increase My Metabolism Related Links,' you will find the full lists of foods that speed up metabolism and the lists of foods that slow down metabolism. If you want to lose body fat, allow yourself only 40 to 70 grams of carbohydrates daily. Get those carbohydrates from natural sources such as (preferably organic) fresh vegetables and low carbohydrate fruits. There is no minimum daily requirement for carbohydrates, but they do have many beneficial phytochemicals and fiber so eating some is fine. Third, drink plenty of water. Increase your intake daily until you are consuming at least 3 quarts daily--and one gallon daily would be better. Fourth, begin a program of mild fitness exercise (cardio). There are two relevant kinds of exercise, namely, cardio and strength training. To significantly increase metabolism you should do both cardio and strength training. Let's first look at cardio and then look at strength training. The best mild cardio is brisk walking. For example, today go for a walk at the best pace you can manage until you are comfortably tired. Note how far you walked. The day after tomorrow, go for another walk but increase the distance slightly. Continue walking every other day until you are walking 4 miles. Once you are able to do that, slightly increase your pace with each walk until you are walking those 4 miles in just under 1 hour every other day. This will burn many extra calories during an immediately after your walks. If you prefer, you may break your walks into two or more sessions during the same day. Fifth, begin a strength-training program to build lean muscle and increase metabolism. Lean muscle is a METABOLIC FURNACE that will burn extra calories 24 HOURS DAILY. Male or female, young or old, everyone can lose body fat this way. Work out twice a week, using as much weight as you can safely handle, and concentrate only on the basic exercises such as squats, deadlifts, presses, rows, and chins. For more about 'increase my metabolism,' plus the lists of foods to eat, the lists of foods to avoid, the free fat burning walking plans and free fat burning strength training workouts, see the three page links, half way down this page, listed under "Related Links."

What are the best weight training exercises to lose weight?

It depends on what your trying to achive. If losing weight and being more toned and cut is what your going for, doing high repititions with low weight of any exercise. If your tryin to get big and strong fast do low repititions with high weight of any exercise. Here are some good exercises for each muscle.

CHEST- flat benchpress for center chest. incline benchpress upper chest. decline benchpress for lower chest. butterflys and dumbell flys are good for inner chest. Press ups are under rated for chest, vital part of any chest routine.

BACK- lat pull downs, dumbell rows, pull ups, chin ups and deadlifts.

LEGS- squats works your entire legs and lower back, leg extentions works the quads, leg curls works the hamstrings, calf raises works the calves, and deadlifts again will hit your upper leg (mostly quads).

ARMS- barbell or dumbell curls (seated or stood) works the bicepts, if you curl the barbell/dumbell with your palms facing down instead of up this works the forearms. (Beware that what you curl with your bicep, ie 30lbs, you will struggle with drastically when doing a forearm curl.)

BBS- type in medicine ball exercises on Google and you will find everything you need to know. using a medicine ball is the best way to work-out you mid section. and leg raises are good too.*

SHOULDERS- shoulder press with a barbell or dumbells. Standing over head press is also very good for shoulders, but as it is free, start at an easy weight to warm up with and find your balance.

If you are unsure on any of these exercises, please just Google their names. There will be a multitude of examples all across the internet.

NOTE: Abs will only show if you have little bodyfat (roughly 12-8% bodyfat they will start to show). Doing lots of crunches will not get you a visible six pack unless coupled with low bodyfat.

Generally, using free weights, ie away from machiness, will provide better results if you are new to weightlifting. This is because machines use practised motions, therefore isolating a certain muscle group. If it is your own muscles that are keeping the barbell, dumbbell etc in a good practised movement, they will consequently develop to a better quality and in less time than if you used machines.

Will exercise have an effect on your pulse rate?

== exercise effect the pulse because if you walk it doesnt effect it but if you run it does effect it because the heart is pumping faster so the blood is moving faster = Actually, pulse rate can change with walking, too, just not as much. Pulse rate is lowest when the body is resting, and increases as the level of muscle activity increases, since increases in activity make higher demands for oxygen for the muscles to work. The pulse rate quickens in response to the body's need for more oxygen (and for more disposal of the carbon dioxide formed in the muscles and other tissues from combining oxygen and the carbons in glucose or fat as they are burned for fuel, thus providing energy for the muscles to use to contract). SImply standing up is more exercise than resting, and although we don't usually think of simply standing up as exercise, the pulse rate will increase slightly. Further increases in exercise level, such as walking, will increase the pulse rate further, even though we might not sense the increase in pulse rate until periods of heavier exercise such as running.

Can you get a six pack at age 10?

your abdominal muscles will always be prevalent even before you reach muscle maturity. you may have to work out more and keep your diet on a tighter shift than a 20 year old, however, because your natural testosterone wont start kicking in for a while.

make sure you dont just do crunches and situp-like exercises. these generally only work out the upper abdominal and can give your core a "turtle shell" shaped look. you need to do leg lifts and bicycles for lower abs and possibly torso rotations to work out obliques and your v's. this will pin your abdominal muscles back and give you a flatter stomach.

diet is key though. keep on a good diet and a good routine and you can essentially be as big as you want. ive seen some incredible transformations even in 17 year olds.
