Boost Your Metabolism and Gain Muscle With These Bodybuilding Tips

By Ricardo d Argence

Before deciding to follow any set muscle or bodybuilding programs, it is essential to understand the impact of what foods you choose to put into your body.

One of the keys in how you lose fat and gain muscle is your metabolism. This body function determines how your body changes food to energy. When energy is created it is then stored in fat and glucose within the body. When you start using energy you will build muscle. Your body then will change to handle the stress on your body and muscles.

The following are tips that should help you reach your goals. If you follow these tips then you can give your metabolism a boost and also build muscle.

1. Always start with a ten minute warm up. Doing a warm up prepares the body and the muscles for exercise. A brisk walk is a good choice that gets your blood pumping. You want to ensure that your blood is really circulating and nourishing your muscles. Overtime your muscles will become better prepared to accept the resistance training.

2. Target the large muscle groups for the best results. Targeting larger muscles really gets your metabolism boosted and helps build muscle. Keep it consistent for the quickest results.

3. You want to start with exercises for the thighs, buttocks and hips. Lunges work great. Start off using some sort of support, but as you build the muscles you can stop using the support. You can even add dumbbells that will add more resistance and increase your metabolism.

4. Stand straight, then use the dumbbell which has the heaviest weight that you can lift comfortably over the head. Grasp it at the level of your shoulder with the palm of your hand facing forward then push it overhead in a straight manner until your arm has reached its full extension before it returns from the position where you started.

You will do 3 sets of 10 repetitions on each arm. Always make sure you are not straining. The weight might be too heavy if you have to strain and this could cause injury.

5. Try different exercises. The last exercise you can switch up by lifting the dumbbells and then going into a push up. This is the type of training used in the military and is quite effective. Push ups really are a powerhouse move as they provide great resistance and really build up muscle while also boosting your metabolism. You can start on your knees if full push ups are too challenging at first.

6. Upper body movements should include targeting of the biceps, deltoids and shoulders. Make sure to use dumbbells as they seem o work better at increasing the metabolism than other types of equipment.

7. Lastly, consider altering certain areas of your lifestyle. Bodybuilding programs will be a waste of time if you are eating the wrong kinds of foods. If you consumed a lot of fat before, then try toning it down to limited amounts. Instead, try eating a meal high in protein, calories, and nutrients.

Get lots of great fruit and vegetables and whole grains. You want to eat to build muscle. - 17269
