Arm Toning And Metabolism Enhancement
January 31, 2010 Filed under weight loss
If you think that your metabolism has something to do with arm toning, you’re right! Figuring out how to hack your metabolism is a powerful way to get the lean arms of your dreams.
In fact, an ultra fast metabolism is arguably the single most powerful factor for getting rid of wobbly arm fat.
I have some basic, yet critical tips for you so that your metabolism rises to new heights.
Without any more delay, here are 4 pointers that will get your metabolism (and arm toning) on the fast track:
1. Consume small meals every 3 hours. Eating smaller meals throughout the day will keep your metabolism in high gear and will prevent any fat storage. This happens because smaller meals keep insulin at bay. If you are eating 1-3 meals a day, please stop!
2. Never do cardio for more than 30 minutes. Go overboard here, and your metabolism will sink faster than the Titanic. This type of cardio burns through muscle very quickly. And muscle is the number one thing that will keep your metabolism really really high.
3. Consider HIT cardiovascular work. HIT (high intensity cardio) is optional and only helpful if you are having a very difficult time shedding off those last layers of arm flab. The key is to go hard and short so that cortisol doesn’t become an issue. Try to get your heart rate up and keep it there for no more than 20 minutes.
4. Lift lots of weights. The primary concern women have about lifting weights is developing bulky arms. Unless you have freakish genetics this is not going to happen for one simple reason: the male body produces 600% more testosterone than the female body. And remember that building muscle (with weights) is the best thing you can do to increase your metabolism.
Practice the above pointers, and your arm toning will reach new heights. The key is to implement this advice now and not later. Because for most women, later never comes. Consider your metabolism to be your new best friend for sexy arm stardom.
One more thing: remember that applying this information is critical so that you don’t forget it. So make sure you act on it today, not tomorrow.
