quick and handy ways to speed up the metabolism that in turn help in quick weight reduction:

per day.

Indulge in strength training
Strength training may include push-ups, squats or lunges.
It also involves use of free weights to perform simple bicep curls or triceps pulls even at home. This is known
to build lean muscle tissue, thus burning more calories.
