Move to Boost: Exercise Strategies to Ignite Your Metabolism


Listen Later

How can you exercise smarter after 40 to burn fat, build muscle, and keep your metabolism strong?


In this episode, I break down how to exercise smarter—not harder—so you can ignite your metabolism after 40. I share the three pillars of metabolic fitness: moving more throughout your day, lifting weights to build muscle, and adding short bursts of high-intensity cardio. You’ll learn how to create a powerful workout routine that helps you burn fat, stay strong, and feel amazing—without spending hours in the gym.

 

What you’ll learn:


(00:00) Discover why cardio alone won’t fix a sluggish metabolism. 

(00:56) Learn how everyday movement can add up to 2,000 calories of extra burn each day.

(02:28) Find out how small daily choices—like taking the stairs—boost fat loss and longevity.

(03:02) Hear about research showing that 12,500 daily steps can reduce body fat and improve health markers.

(06:18) Learn how to train each body part effectively. 

(08:28) Discover how high-intensity interval training (HIIT) outperforms steady-state cardio for fat loss and insulin sensitivity.

(11:16) Get JJ’s full formula for movement, lifting, and recovery so you can stay consistent, strong, and energized.
