By Ricardo d Argence

You must understand how the foods you choose to eat impact your body before you can make a decision on a muscle or bodybuilding program.

Metabolism plays a key role in fat loss and muscle development. Metabolism is the rate at which your body turns food into energy. This energy is then stored in the form of fats and glucose. Increasing your percentage of using energy will also increase your muscle mass. In order gain firm muscles, your body will have to adapt to the stress cast upon your body and muscles.

The following are tips that should help you reach your goals. If you follow these tips then you can give your metabolism a boost and also build muscle.

1. Do a ten minute body warm up. You can do a brisk walk in order to get blood pumping. This kind of warm up exercise can increase the amount of circulating blood inside your body. Muscles should always be nourished by free-flowing blood in order to maintain a good bodybuilding state. Muscles become more receptive to many kinds of resistance over time.

2. Target the large muscle groups for the best results. Targeting larger muscles really gets your metabolism boosted and helps build muscle. Keep it consistent for the quickest results.

3. Start on your hips, buttocks and thighs. Lunges will increase your metabolic rate. You should first hold on to something hard to be able to attain balance. As you build the muscles that you need, you have can now stick to supporting the lower part of your body and holding dumbbells to raise the muscle resistance and metabolism.

4. Start by standing straight with a dumbbell that is not too heavy to comfortably raise over your head. Hold the weight at shoulder level, palm facing forward and push the weight above your head until your arm is fully extended. Now return to the starting position.

Do this for 10 reps, slowly, so you don't strain your arms. Then switch the dumbbell to the other arm. Repeat three times using each hand. You have to be sure that your body and arms can tolerate the repetitions otherwise you are prone to muscle wasting as well as injury.

5. Different exercises. For the last one, you can try the dumbbells, and after several reps, go down with a push-up. This is very efficient because of the evident use in military training. Push-ups, in general, provides resistance to weight that is needed to build muscles and at the same time increasing the rate of metabolism. If you are having difficulties with push-ups, you can start with simpler ones like knee push-ups.

6. Upper body movements should include targeting of the biceps, deltoids and shoulders. Make sure to use dumbbells as they seem o work better at increasing the metabolism than other types of equipment.

7. Lastly, consider altering certain areas of your lifestyle. Bodybuilding programs will be a waste of time if you are eating the wrong kinds of foods. If you consumed a lot of fat before, then try toning it down to limited amounts. Instead, try eating a meal high in protein, calories, and nutrients.

It is also good that you consume vegetables, whole grains and citrus fruits. This will give you more of an advantage for your muscle building program. - 17273
