Many people who want to lose weight with the help of physical activity are wondering when is the best time to go in for sports. Here are the findings from recent scientific research.
Research shows that the best time to exercise to lose weight is in the morning before breakfast on an empty stomach. This way you can burn more calories.
A 2015 study looked at two groups of men who ate 30% more calories and 50% more fat.
In the first group, men did a workout before breakfast, in the second - after. At the end of the sixth week, the men from the second group gained extra pounds. While the men in the first group, who started exercising immediately after sleep, did not gain excess weight, had stable sugar levels and burned more fat.
While exercising before breakfast will not help you lose significant weight, it will help you stay fit and motivated, which will ultimately lead to weight loss.
What are the advantages of doing in the morning
- Usually, it is in the morning that a person is full of strength.
- In the process of morning exercises, fat is the first to be burned.
- Exercising in the morning is most beneficial, as the air is less polluted and gassed during this time.
- Those who exercise in the morning adapt faster to physical activity.
