Morning gymnastics is much better than exercises done in the evening. Although many people prefer to sleep in and not set their alarm clock too early, it’s worth it and love the morning workouts that will charge your body and mind with positive energy for the whole day. What are the benefits of morning workouts? Let us give you a hint!
We often give up morning activity because we want to sleep longer. And such exercises really have many benefits. What are the benefits of morning training?
Morning exercise boosts our metabolism, so we burn many more calories per day than we would after an evening workout at night. Of course, the effects will not be satisfactory if the workout is not accompanied by a balanced diet. This is very important if you are aiming for weight reduction.
As we mentioned at the beginning, not everyone is a morning bird and gets out of bed eagerly. Because of this, for many morning gymnastics seems to be a pure abstraction. However, it is worth mobilizing, because the first few workouts will certainly be difficult and unpleasant. However, with time our body will get used to it, and after some time our internal clock will start to allow and even facilitate us getting up before the alarm clock is set.
Currently there is a fashion for being fit. More and more gyms and fitness clubs are opening, also outdoor gyms are becoming fashionable. A significant number of people choose to exercise in the afternoon, right after work or in the evening. It also leads to overcrowding of fitness clubs and sometimes waiting in quite a long queue for your turn to a particular machine. Let’s see how much easier it would be to set the alarm clock a little earlier and go to the gym in the morning to work out in peace. We can also work out without using any specialized equipment and just go out for a jog. Not only will we start the day with a dose of endorphins, but we will also save time in the evening, devoting it to other activities.
After a day of activities, especially when we have had too much of them, it is easier to find excuses to skip the workout. Right after waking up it is much more difficult, because we haven’t managed to do anything yet and get tired of something concrete. The biggest barrier we have to overcome is just turning off the alarm clock and getting up. After a few days, our body will switch to morning wake-ups on its own, which will increase our motivation. If we see these changes ourselves, we’ll get into the healthy habit of morning workouts.
It can happen that as soon as we open our eyes, we already have intrusive thoughts, for example about a demanding job. When you decide to work out right after waking up, your stress level will decrease. After a solid dose of “sweating it out” you will get your nerves under control and your mind will clear, and your peace of mind will translate into a more effective day at work.
This news should further mobilize all those who strive to reduce body fat. A study conducted by Brigham Young University, among others, found that 45 minutes of moderate exercise in the morning reduces the emotional response to reaching for a snack. Study participants who browsed photos of food immediately after a workout felt less temptation to eat more to make up for the calories burned during the workout.
A morning workout is a source of energy and boost to your body for the day. Instead of drinking coffee right after waking up, it is better to get up a little earlier and exercise. Just half an hour of training will give us a surge of energy that we will not have to stimulate ourselves additionally with caffeine or, even worse, for example energy drinks that are unhealthy for the body.
Training in the evening will stimulate us additionally. We are unlikely to fall asleep right away. Morning exercise helps you get a better night’s rest. Many studies confirm that adults who exercise in the morning fall asleep faster and simply sleep better than those who exercise in the evening.
Regular exercise in the morning helps control blood pressure. Just 30 minutes of workout can effectively reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure in both men and women.
Blood vessels dilate when the heart rate speeds up during a workout. This increase in blood flow oxygenates the cells. The result is a healthy glow!
