Slow, sluggish metabolism is why most of us tend to weigh on the wrong side of the scales. To notch up your body's fat-torching potential, it's crucial that you metabolize fast. Blast more calories and lose more weight with these morning metabolism boosting habits that will keep you shape, fit and healthy for years to come.

Exercise
Exercising in the morning not only peps up your day, but also spikes body metabolism. So what are you waiting for? Lace up your sneakers and hit outdoors to soak up some morning sun and burn extra calories.

Intense Workout
Never mind if you aren't a morning person. You can still make the most of your morning with a 2.5 minute burst of intense exercise which will lead to an increased afterburn all day.

Early breakfast
No matter how much you are rushed for the day, having a breakfast is a must. Eating in the morning gets your body metabolism working. Stuff yourself with a delicious, homemade breakfast as soon as you wake up to help your body blast more calories all day long.

Muscle Up
A strength training exercise is highly recommended. Kick off your day with a 10-minute muscle building workout. Not only will it tone you up, but also boost metabolism.

Midmorning Snack
As long as you are snacking on something light and healthy, midmorning snacks are your weapon to keep your metabolism up all day long. Snack on protein and antioxidant rich for that extra boost.
