THe key to metabolizim is that you must continue to push it higher. IE run a mile 3 times a week. When that becomes easy, or at about 3 weeks, up it to 2 miles 3 times a week. So on and so forth. Otherwise it will only grow to a point that it can fulfill the 1 mile requirment. Cardio is the key, teamed up with weights to increase muscle group strengh, IE abs for running, you will see better results.

You dont have to go "all out" on your workouts but you should not feel as if it were easy. You should never get done and feel as if you could repeat the process 2 or 3 times. Also be sure to do some sort of stretching, being sore is the most typical reason for people not repeating workouts at a regular intervel.

I recomend chaning it around to. Dont just run, grab a bike and take a ride. Swim, skate, hike, rock climb, anything that can break that routine and boredum. Id suggest putting that "change up" in between your "workouts" and do something everyday. Do something everyday and you'll see results i dont care what your "genes" are predisposed to.
