You can’t (unfortunately) send a memo to your body and ask it to please speed up metabolism. If you could, then that would be amazing! But that’s not reality at all. What we have to do is force the body to say to itself: hey, I need to speed up metabolism because this person needs more energy! And one of the best ways for you to force the body to have this kind of thinking is to add variety to your workouts.
