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.
Increasing your metabolism is one of the most important things you can do to melt away that ever jiggly arm fat.
In this brief (but informative) article, I\’ll reveal some great ways to take your metabolism to the next level.
So here are four hacks that will keep your metabolism (and your arm toning) at the highest level possible:
1. Eat every couple of hours. You absolutely have to do this, no excuses. Eating smaller meals with a higher frequency increases the total thermic effect (calories burned from food digestion) in your body. Your arms will thank you for this by shrinking in size.
2. Stay away from long-duration cardio. Go overboard with cardio and your body will secrete cortisol. This dirty hormone will eat away all your precious muscle. I say precious because muscle is the number one thing that will send your metabolism through the roof. Never do more than 45 minutes of cardio at a time for best results.
3. Do HIT (high intensity) cardio. This one isn\’t mandatory, I recommend HIT cardio only for those women that are having a really hard time losing the arm flab. Otherwise, it isn\’t necessary and can be counterproductive.
4. Don\’t be afraid of weights. In fact, lifting weights (and increasing muscle mass) is the strongest stimulus for accelerating your metabolism. And don\’t worry about developing manly arms! Men have 60 times more muscle building testosterone than women.
Well there you go, 4 cool tips to keep your metabolism and arm toning fired up. Apply this information, and you will see substantial improvements in your results. And a fast metabolism is the key to flabby arm success.
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.
