5 Great Reasons to Exercise in the Morning

“Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” 

Those words of wisdom from old Benny make a lot of sense. 

Early to bed, Early to rise It is a tough routine, especially due to the fact that we have to do something immediately as we wake up. But once we get into the machine and we start our engines as soon as we wake up, we will start to notice positive consequences reflecting on our lives. Those consequences can have both long-term and short-term effects and here is the list of reasons and consequences why you should start exercising the next morning you wake up.

5 Reasons Why Morning Exercises are Important for Your Health

1. Exercising in the morning burns more fat

There are certain studies that show that when you exercise in the morning before you have your breakfast you are more likely to lose up to 20% more fat than usually. This is important because if you are striving towards looking good and being in good shape, you will achieve the desired results way faster. If you decided to exercise in the evening, the result simply would not be the same. 

2. You can earn more family time

While health is a top priority, and fitting in workout time is mandatory, family likely comes first. And it’s nice getting ready for the day without feeling like everything is in total crisis mode. If you can train yourself to work out before the sun rises, and before the kids wake up, you can spend more time with them, appreciatively, before you head to the 

office. Plus, after work hours, you can go right home instead of waiting on line for a crowded treadmill somewhere.

3. Your metabolism will work faster

Once you start exercising in the morning you will notice one unusual thing  about your body –  your metabolism. Everyone has a different metabolism – there are people who have naturally slow metabolism and then, there are people who need to boost their metabolism. Therefore, there is not a better way to do the the boosting than to get up in the morning and exercise until you feel that you can start your day.

4. The natural glow of your skin will appear

It is scientifically proven that once you start working out it will have positive effects not only on your metabolism but on your skin as well. People who exercise in the morning are more likely to have a natural skin glow and appear healthier and more beautiful than those who do not work out at all or work out in the evening.

5. You may feel less stressed and more ready for your day

We all have anxious moments thinking about deadlines or maybe feeling overwhelmed during a long commute. A morning workout can take some of the edge off to help ease daily stress, and potentially lower your blood pressure too. Studies show that even just 10 minutes of exercise can provide psychological benefits, including lifting your mood.
