Cardio
The American College of Sports Medicine reports that you can elevate your metabloism for up to 24 hours post-exercise by adding just one little twist to your exercise routine: intervals. All you have to do is inject brief periods of intense effort into your regular walks (or runs, swims, bicycling, elliptical sessions, etc). The intensity effectively resets your metabolism to a slightly higher rate during your workout, and it takes hours for it to slow down again. That equals ongoing calorie burn long after you've showered and toweled off.
Push-Up
This strength-training move is a classic for a reason. It fires up your chest, shoulders, and arms, and even gets your abs working when done with proper form.
Strength
While your heart and other organs demand fuel around the clock, there's little you can do to increase their metabolic needs. However, your muscles—which also require constant feeding—are changeable. Make them bigger, and they will demand more calories day and night.
