You run three or four times a week, and you watch what you eat. But lately you’ve noticed that you have a little less energy and a little more, uhm, meat around the waistline.
You’ve tried running more (good) and eating less (not so good), but the result is you have even less energy, plus you’re starving.
Worse, you see no change around the middle, much less in your thighs. At this point, you throw in the towel and stuff yourself, because you’re dying of hunger.
Sound like you?
What’s going on here? We’re willing to bet that your metabolism, your body’s kilojoule-burning furnace, is stuck on low. Especially if you’re older than 30, at which point your metabolism begins to drop by about one percent a year.
But here’s the thing: You can fight back. You can boost your metabolism in several ways:
Rev your metabolism with food.
Boost your metabolism with exercise.

currently doing 6km a day and 11 on sundays. 200 push ups a day and loosing weight but cant get last bit of stomach to go. no booze. Any hints.
Hi Shaun, You have to HIT exercises on your stomach, where you target all three areas of the stomach separately. HIT= High Intensity Training. In other words you start with doing 20 crunches, next set, 25, next set 30, Next set 40 with added weight on chest, followed by immediate set of a similar exercise that targets the same muscle group. DO sets that target all three areas according to the HIT principle, give muscles 48 hour to rest, use glutamine to aid recovery. 3 weeks and you wont believe the difference!!
Push beyond your limits
