The Fast Metabolism Diet Exercises According to Phase

The Fast Metabolism Diet is about food, but it isn’t only about food. The following are the exercises to do in each phase.

PHASE 1: Do at least one day of vigorous cardio, like running, the elliptical trainer, or an upbeat aerobic-based exercise class. Cardio is perfectly suited for high-carb Phase 1.

PHASE 2: Do at least one day of strength-training with weights. Focus on lifting heavy weights with low reps. Lifting weights during Phase 2 will seriously increase your metabolic power, so go for it! 

PHASE 3: Do at least one day of stress-reducing activity like yoga or deep breathing, or enjoy a massage. Yes, massage counts! It’s not an “activity ” per se, but it increases blood flow to the fatty areas of your body, reduces cortisol, and does the work we want for you during this phase.
