Does Exercise Increase Metabolism?
One of the few ways you can affect your resting metabolic rate is to change your body composition so that you have more muscle and less fat.
Weight or resistance training can help you build muscle. It's also great for your bones, joints, and balance. Experts suggest doing strength training exercises to target every major muscle group at least twice a week. Just one set of each exercise can provide benefits, as long as you use enough weight or resistance to fatigue your muscles after 12-15 repetitions.
Healthy Fact of the Day: Drinking water can help you burn more calories! Studies show that drinking about 16 ounces of cold water can temporarily boost your metabolism by up to 30% for around 30-40 minutes. So, staying hydrated not only keeps you refreshed but can also give your metabolism a little boost! 💧🔥
