As many of you know, your metabolism starts to get slower as you get older. So things like drinking water with lemon and getting more sleep are very important if you want to try to speed it back up!
Here are 3 common mistakes you're making in the morning that are actually slowing your metabolism down even more!:
1. Not Exercising.
Obv. getting your morning workout in is very important! Studies show that if you have the time (or MAKE THE TIME) to get your workout in on mornings, you benefit more. Your body is still burning calories 24 hours after you workout so when you workout in the morning, your body keeps being productive as you move on with your day. It's always best to sweat it out in the AM!
2. Eating Too Late.
Skipping breakfast is the WORST thing you can do if you're trying to speed up your metabolism, however, there's almost no point if you're going to be eating too late. When you don't eat, your brain sends a "help" message to the rest of your body telling it to conserve on the energy because it doesn't know when you'll eat again!
3. Not Pumping Iron.
Lean muscle mass burns calories so you should always add strength training into your norm workout!
Guess I should stalk up on lemons :)
