AMPK enhances your metabolism is by stimulating the creation of more mitochondria, a process called mitochondrial biogenesis. Having more mitochondria is generally considered a good thing, and we know this because chronic disuse of muscle, sedentary behavior, and aging each independently result in a decline in mitochondrial content and function.

One enzyme that becomes activated during anaerobic activity is called adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase, or AMPK.

switch,” AMPK acts like a tuning fork to your mitochondria, increasing fat burning and glucose uptake, and turning on waste disposal machinery to clear up cellular junk (this includes recycling old and damaged mitochondria).

AMPK is the master switch that initiates the chain of events leading to mitochondrial biogenesis.
