5 Metabolism Boosters

Incorporate these 5 tips to give your metabolism a boost and keep the fat burning furnace running on high.

1. Water - tap or mineral water is better than purified water, according to Swiss researchers who found that the minerals helped to boost metabolism, which are not found in purified water.
2. Strength Training - swap your cardio routine for a strength training routine three times per week. The result will be a leaner more toned body. Cardio burns calories, but does not stimulate the metabolism nearly as much as strength training will. And cardio does nothing to help tone your muscles, so while you may lose some weight with cardio you end up only creating a smaller version of the same flabby person.
3. Oil - olive oil has been shown to create a higher post-meal burn than flaxseed oil, while still providing a good source of omega-3s, according to a Canadian study.
4. 10-Minute Walk - current research has found that people who took a 10-minute walk after each meal were leaner than those who didn't. The reason is because the walk will help to rev up the metabolism and curb the meal from being stored as fat.
5. Protein - whey protein trumps casein protein. In a Swiss study the researchers found that whey protein requires more calories to digest than does casein.

We Change Lives!

====
Change Your Shoes PLEASE!!

Unfortunately whether we like it or not winter is coming :( so that means, wet and salty shoes and lets face it when its 29 degrees outside and your already freezing the last thing anyone wants to do is lay down in water and salt when your doing your warm-up or starting into your work out. So this year according to the caterpillars and Farmers Almanac we are supposed to have a nasty winter. Don't be mad at me lets all hope and cross our strong little fingers they are wrong BUT what we do have to ask of every one of you is Please respect your fellow gym goers and (staff who have to mop) to bring your gym shoes with you and change them inside the door instead of wearing them directly to the gym. It will help keep the gym floor clean and dry for everyone including yourself ! If you don't Courtney and Lauren will probably hunt you down and yell at you because they will have to mop the floor every day ;) JUST KIDDING!! Kinda haha
