Exercise smartly.: Build muscle with weight training. More & toned muscle burns more calories/hr. Do interval aerobic training 2-3 times/week. You will increase metabolism for hours afterward. The interval training should be 30minutes 3x/week or 40-45 minutes twice a week. Interval means running your heart rate up to a certain level and then go at an easier pace until pulse lowers and repeat. Check w/ dr. First!

Speed metabolism.: Weight training builds lean muscle which is metabolically active around the clock, day and night. While some studies suggest that cardiovascular exercise may stimulate the metabolism for as much as 48 hours after the exercise, it may be much less time. Both are best in combination. As well, eating a small healthy meal of lean protein and complex carbs every 2-3 hours speeds the metabolism.
