A daily habit to kick up your metabolism

Speed up weight loss

Are you feeling demotivated and sluggish? Boosting your metabolism is an excellent way to get more energy - and speed up weight loss.

The thing is, for healthy weight loss and long-term success, you have to make it a regular habit.

One way to do this is to get your body moving - specifically to build lean muscle.

Why build muscle?

Each pound of muscle uses around six calories a day to sustain itself, while every pound of fat burns only two calories. That's a big difference when you add it up over time!

4 Easy tips for building lean muscle

• Get yourself a pair of light dumbbells (you can buy them at Mr. Price Sport or Game).

• Do a few squats and lunges with them while you watch TV.

• Challenge yourself to do five push-ups every morning.

• Before going to bed, hold the plank position for 30 seconds.
