Burn Baby, Burn!

Those among us that can eat, and eat, and eat whatever they like, and still not gain a pound have the advantage of having a high metabolism. That means that their bodies burn the food that they consume at a very fast rate. The older we get, the slower our metabolism becomes.
If you are trying to lose weight, you have to burn off, or workout strenuously enough to burn more calories than you have consumes.
One good way of increasing your metabolism is to run. Running is the best exercise by far in terms of burning calories.
If you use dumbbells, or free weights, or even exercise equipment, you can increase your metabolism by doing higher reps per set. In other words, if you are looking to burn calories and increase your metabolism; instead of doing 50 lbs. curls 10 times, do 35 lbs. curls 20 to 25 times. Choose a weight where by the time you get to the 17 or 18 rep, you are really feeling a burn. If by the time you get to 20 and you feel as if you can do more, you may have to increase the weight.
Also, you can find a weight that is comfortable to you and do this weight until failure. Meaning do it until you can't do anymore.
