Exercise in the morning, especially on an empty stomach, can effectively burn body fat, which is the best time for weight loss people to exercise.
Hormones in the body metabolize fat better in the morning, because cortisol levels required for metabolism are usually higher in the morning and hormone levels rise. Therefore, exercise in the morning can extract and consume more energy from fat reserve, which is helpful to lose weight. Morning exercise can also help you reduce your appetite and prevent weight gain throughout the day, according to a study by bright young university.
Even if you hate getting up early, exercising in the morning can make a difference. The study, published in the Journal of physiology, found that exercising at 7 a.m. helps regulate your circadian clock earlier, makes you more agile in the morning, and gets tired earlier in the evening, which helps to go to bed early and ensure adequate rest.
In addition, exercise helps to reduce stress, and morning exercise improves mental health and productivity for the next day. However, if you're not a morning person, don't force yourself. If you force yourself to get up early, even if you do, you may just do low-intensity exercise such as stretching, which can't effectively burn fat, and the effect is not great.
