This is the best summary I could come up with:
Editor’s Note: Dana Santas, known as the “Mobility Maker,” is a certified strength and conditioning specialist and mind-body coach in professional sports, and is the author of the book “Practical Solutions for Back Pain Relief.”
“Being sedentary most of the day markedly reduces fat metabolism,” said Edward Coyle, professor of kinesiology and health education at the University of Texas at Austin.
Additionally, in his lab, Coyle has found that just five four-second bursts of exercise performed at full effort every hour throughout the day can dramatically increase fat metabolism by as much as 49%.
That said, it is important to note that to get the most out of any kind of exercise program, you need to also break up long periods of sedentary time during the day with short bouts of activity, as mentioned above.
Additional research points to a possible enhanced metabolism boost if you drink cold water because of the energy expenditure needed to heat it to body temperature.
To get the sleep you need to maintain a healthy metabolism and overall health and wellness, it’s important to create a nightly routine that includes strategies that facilitate rest, such as breathing exercises to help calm your nervous system.
