You don't even need to join a gym!
If you're intimidated by the idea of building muscle, don't be. Kumar says it's not necessary to join a gym or change up your whole routine in order to strengthen your body and speed up your metabolism.
"A few squats or reps with weights on a regular basis—even as little as twice per week for 10 minutes—will increase your metabolism and allow for healthy weight … going forward," she says."I even keep a set of weights in my office to fit in quick workouts.
Kumar concurs, and recommends some specific exercises to help boost metabolism."Continue to build muscle over your lifetime, even if you just have a few minutes," she says."Exercises like banded squats to add resistance, holding a plank pose, or squats with an added kettlebell are a good choice." If you're new to working out, and especially to muscle-building exercises, check in with your healthcare provider about finding a routine that will be safe and sustainable for you over time.Elizabeth Laura Nelson is the Deputy Health Editor at Best Life.
