I got this information from a trainer at Golds Gym This week were going to talk about how to stay on task with our health and fitness goals. It’s the holiday season and everybody’s schedule is subject to change due to travel, family gatherings and whatnot. Don’t let that be an excuse to slack off. You know you’ll be kicking yourself next week if you do and then get on the scale and see some extra pounds that weren’t there before. Maybe you’re not typically a morning workout type of person, but things are just going to come up and if you wait until later in the day it just might not happen, so do yourself a favor and set your alarm, get up and knockout a good workout before all the holiday festivities start so you feel great all day and have more energy throughout the day. If you wait until after the turkey and stuffing are down the hatch, the tryptophan starts doing its thing and it’s going to be much harder to get that workout in.
Here is something else I’d like to add that goes right along with morning exercise you may like to hear. We know that if you have poor quality sleep, it influences certain hormones that control appetite. It is possible that by exercising in the morning -- instead of evening - the exercise affects the body's circadian rhythm (your internal body clock) so you get better-quality sleep. Good sleep helps control the hormonal balance that helps control appetite. Also working out in the morning can actually increase the impact that exercise has on your heart. Why? One of the ways that your body naturally wakes you up is by increasing levels of hormones like adrenaline, which causes your heart to beat faster. This means that you can eke out some extra cardiovascular benefits when you work out in the morning.
A few more benefits of morning workouts are increased brain power, and increased weight loss. Exercise has been proven to increase mental focus and acuity for up to ten whole hours post-workout. If you’re squeezing in your exercise regimen after work, you’re not taking full advantage of those ten hours, since you’re likely sleeping for most of them. An A.M. workout means that both your brain and your body are in good shape all day. As for how it applies to increased weight loss; if you’re working out to shed some pounds, it looks like the morning is the optimal exercise time for you. An early trip to the gym has been shown to result in fewer food cravings throughout the day. Perhaps even better, working out in the morning means that your body will burn calories faster and more efficiently throughout the day.
Just some things to think about. Hugs to everyone. Have a great turkey day. Go choose 180 challange. Let's do this!!!!!!! AG!!!!
