The amount of energy an organisms expends to maintain living processes such as heart beat, breathing and cell metabolic activities. The higher a person's basal metabolic rate, the more calories that person will burn without being active. Unfortunately, as we age, our BMR naturally decreases, and it becomes harder to eat as much as we used to without seeing the consequences. Cardiovascular exercise such as aerobics, spinning, or boxing can help increase your basal metabolic rate and make it easier to eat more while staying fit.
