Be an Iron Man
It’s difficult to overstate the importance of resistance training. Adding muscle to your frame causes your body to speed up its metabolism. For every pound of lean muscle you forge, count on losing an extra 35-50 calories per day, or up to 1,500 calories a month or 18,000 calories per year while resting. That’s approximately 5 pounds of bodyfat you can eliminate at rest.

Limit Rest Periods

Don’t spend your time between sets chatting up the chick on the treadmill. To add a calorie-burning element to your weight training, limit rest periods to 30-45 seconds. Resting 30 seconds between sets has been shown to increase caloric burn by 50%, compared to a three-minute rest period. You may not be as strong heading into your next set, but the added calorie burn may be worth it.
Pick Up the Pace
To help amp up your calorie burn between sets—and accomplish more in less time—incorporate supersets or drop sets on weight-training days or perform your exercises circuit-style. You can also maximize time by doing your ab moves between other exercises, rather than waiting until the end of your routine. When using lighter weight, try speeding up your reps, but not at the expense of proper form.
