Metabolism “stopped”?
Metabolism “Stalled”? 5 Steps to Awakening (#5 is our ally)
If your energy isn't keeping up with your pace, the problem may be "economy mode." Activate your metabolism with training- and performance -oriented tactics—and add quick, convenient liquid support when you need that extra boost.
Why metabolism slows down
A sedentary lifestyle, irregular sleep, stress, and poorly organized meals slow down natural energy production. The good news: with the right tactics and consistency, the body can return to active mode .
The 5 essential steps (performance version)
1) Timing is everything: you activate your body before training
Arrive with your engine "on." 10–15 minutes of mobility plus a simple warm-up raises your body temperature and prepares your muscles and nervous system.
2) Smart training: less slow cardio, more HIIT
2–3 weekly sessions of high-intensity intervals (20–30 min) increase EPOC (post-workout energy expenditure) and are effective for fat burning.
3) Right fuel: protein + complex carbohydrates
Include protein in 2–3 meals and complex carbohydrates (oatmeal, sweet potato, brown rice) around your workout for performance and recovery.
4) Active recovery: it is during rest that the body evolves
- 7–8 hours of sleep — regulates energy and appetite hormones.
- Light stretching/walking the day after intense workouts.
- Consistent hydration throughout the day.
