Benefits of morning exercise

Author: Ibrahim Abbass

Exercise enhances and maintains physical fitness and overall health of  human being. Majority of the people avoid doing exercise due to shortage of time. However,  when one unfolds the ample of benefits of doing exercise at the morning , it gives motivation to exercise in their mornings

Morning workouts greatly enhance  metabolism of the body. Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumptions (EPOC) is a buzz word in the fitness industry. It basically means that your body burns more calories after your workout, even when you’re sitting at a desk or driving in your car. One study showed that participants burned an extra 190 calories in the 14 hours after exercise when compared to those who didn’t exercise at all!

A good morning workout routine will help one to  cultivate work consistency. Working out in the morning ensures that you feel easy at your work in the office or other place of your job.

Early morning exercise help you develop strong self-discipline. Just like any habit, developing the discipline to get up and exercise in the morning only gets easier with time. Perhaps more importantly, this discipline is likely to spill over into other areas of your life. After all, if you’re going to such lengths to exercise each morning, pairing that work with healthier eating.

A morning exercise routine will help you get better sleep. Waking up early in the morning to exercise will in turn help you sleep better. Your body will enjoy a healthy sense of fatigue at the end of the day and will be ready to sleep. Say goodbye to the tossing and turning that comes when your body is restless!A recent study had participants exercise at 7am, 1pm, or 7pm 3 days per week. Those who were doing the 7am workout sessions got the most amount of sleep. Morning exercise not only improves the length of sleep you will enjoy, but also your quality of sleep by promoting deeper sleep cycles.

I think this should give you an insight into why  you should push yourself to form an exercise routine for you mornings!
