hey guys, another thing is that when you exersize it doesn't boost your metabolism permanently- it only keeps it higher then your regular metabolism for a couple of days so you need to make sure you exersize every couple days or your metabolsm won't stay up. one thing that is a bit more long lasting is building muscle- that keeps your metabolism up as long as you have that muscle built up. remember- you have to be consistasnt and frequent with working out. you can't just work out once a week for 5 hours and expect your metabolism to stay up- becasuse it doesn't work that way. but another thing is that when you workout when your metabolism is still up from working out the other day it keeps getting higher so that's really great. and don't over do it because working out for 5 hours will boost your metabolsim about as much as just working out for one hour. granted- you'll lose more fat but if we're talking about metabolism wise- then keep doing it and don't stop try for every day or everyother day. sports are great like tennis because then you'll need to go to practice everyday and mine are twop hours long and i have a fun and great workout. good luck everyone!
