How To Burn More Calories When you are Not working out?

Hello Everyone,

 

I am seeking new ways to create the afterburn effect. My current cardio workout consists of treadmill interval training. I get my heartrate up to 150 - 170 BPM. Sometimes, I do my interval training on a bike. 

 

I am wondering, what can I do in the weight room to increase my BMR. I hit the weight room three days a week, and push the weights until my muscles burn. 

 

Does anyone else have ideas about how to create a more efficient after burn effect?

I found I got a LOT of benefit from splitting my workouts into smaller blocks - I was going to the gym before and after work and doing shorter workouts (in reality it was probably 2 x 70% of a full workout, rather than 2 x 50% - which also helped).
