3 Rather than rolling out of bed the minute your alarm clock goes off. Do a few squats and stretches to ignite your metabolism first thing.

5 Do some high intensity interval training (HIIT) in your lunch hour.

6 Add ice to your drinks. The colder they are, the harder your body works to process them. Your metabolism works harder to adjust the ice cold temperature to your core body temperature.

7 Do daily push-ups. This engages lots of muscles groups in your upper body and abs and will help you burn more calories. Just by having more muscle, your body will require more calories to help it run efficiently. These moves also help get rid of bingo wings, lift your bust and keep you strong.

8 Yank up the heat. Make your dinner a calorie-burning one by simply adding some chilli flakes to your dish, as these help speed up your metabolism.

Low-fat, homemade curries and even curried fish and vegetables are great foods to keep your metabolism running efficiently.
