Easy to implement tip!
Include demanding exercises in your gym routine. The most challenging types of exercises involve free weights and different forms of body weight exercises. These exercises require more effort and calorie expenditure than seated exercises on a machine. They also keep the metabolism running higher for longer after your workout, meaning that you burn more calories when you are resting.
Some examples:
Squatting
Lunging

Pushing
