What to get a summer body or lose a few pounds?

If you're a woman and getting older, you understand where I'm coming from on this subject.  The older we get the harder it is to lose weight or keep the weight off! 

Well, we need to boost our our metabolism.  How do we do that? By changing up or exercise program.  Here's 3 different programs to help you start. 

To fire up metabolism - Cardio

1. 3X a week - do 30 minutes interval fat blast ... to do this you need to do 2 minutes of high intensity activity (no talking) to get that heart pumping followed by 2 min of moderate intensity. 

2. 3X a week - 20 minute steady cardio - after a 5 minute warmup, exercise at a pace that keeps your heart rate in an aerobic zone (where you are breathing somewhat hard) for 12 minutes and then slow your pace for 3 min to cool down. 

3. 1X a week - 60 minute endurance builder - warmup 5 minutes, then increase to a moderate intensity for the rest of the workout. 

To fire up metabolism - strength

3X a week - when you don't do cardio, do 20 minute high energy dumbell routine to firm your muscles. 

Now let's go fire up our metabolism! D
