If you are looking to lose weight, there is no escaping exercise.
And, as important as it is to exercise, it is equally important to
exercise at the right time. What has the time of the day got to do with
exercise? Does it influence the number of calories you can burn?
The
time of the day has more to do with your attitude towards exercise and
nothing else. Most experts recommend morning as the best time to
exercise for the following reasons.
People who exercised in the
morning were found to be more consistent with their exercise. When time,
social and other pressures creep in later in the day, it is easier to
sacrifice exercise in order to fulfill those commitments. Early morning
exercises set the body into a cycle making it easier to stick to the
exercise routine.
Early morning exercise also gets you psyched up
for the day. It kicks starts your metabolism and keeps it going for
several hours, even after you have stopped exercising.
Thus, the
body burns calories efficiently throughout the rest of the day. People
who exercised early in the morning claimed that they felt more energized
on days when they exercised than on days when they did not. To add, the
body temperature is lower in the morning than the rest of the day.
Therefore, exercising in the morning demands more time and energy to
warm up.
A particular study also showed that women who exercised
in the morning slept better at night than women who exercised later in
the evening as it disturbs the body's circadian rhythms. And, as most of
us know, getting enough sleep at night pulls the reins tight on those
nasty hormones, particularly those that regulate appetite.
You
either get 60 minutes of exercise daily and 4 hours a week on an
average. Before you start working out or trying any new exercise
routine, you should always consult the doctor first. Start slow with low
intensity exercises such as walking and cycling. When you start out,
you should also start with shorter exercise durations and increase
gradually. Combine exercise with a chore such as walking the dog or
running errands. This way you can save time. If you don't like working
out alone, join a health club. It will help a lot. You can also buy
workout tapes and DVDs to get going.
Even though doing almost any
exercises in the morning has been proven to boost metabolism, the second
way I am recommending is the best for weight loss, it takes less time
and is more effective.
Here's a workout that worked great for me
and that in only 15-20 minutes burns almost 200 calories, and since you
work your muscles and they need to recover, your body will burn calories
even after the workout. It is a trick to boost metabolism a lot!
So,
tomorrow morning do 5 sets of: 5 burpees, 10 pushups, 20 squats, 20
lunges, 30 abdominal crunches and 50 jumping jacks. Do each of these 5
times, try to accelerate, and do these exercises in a very intense
rhythm.
