Top 5 reasons why you must learn to love morning exercise.

Are you that person who sets your alarm every night, tells yourself it’s non-negotiable that you are getting up to exercise in the morning to burn off that 2nd helping of dessert and then when the alarm goes off you’re the first one to hit the snooze button?

Then you need to teach yourself how to love exercising in the morning. And I think the best way to do this, is to look at the top reasons why exercising in the morning is so good for your health.

  1. Exercising early in the morning ‘jump starts’ your metabolism, keeping it elevated for hours, sometimes for up to 24 hours! As a result, you’ll be burning more calories all day long—just because you exercised in the morning.
  2. Exercising in the morning energises you for the day—not to mention that gratifying feeling you get when you know  you’ve done something disciplined and good for you.
  3. Studies have shown that exercise significantly increases mental alertness—a benefit that lasts four to ten hours after your workout ends. Exercising in the a.m. means you get to harness that brainpower, instead of wasting it while you’re snoozing.
  4. Assuming you make exercise a true priority, it shouldn’t be a major problem to get up 30 to 60 minutes earlier—especially since regular exercise generally means a higher quality of sleep, which in turn means you’ll probably require less sleep. (If getting up 30 to 60 minutes earlier each day seems too daunting, you can ease into it with 10 to 20 minutes at first.)
  5. When you exercise at about the same time every morning—especially if you wake up regularly at about the same time—you’re regulating your body’s endocrine system and circadian rhythms. Your body learns that you do the same thing just about every day, and it begins to prepare and get used to it. That’s beneficial because:
  • Your body’s not “confused” by changing wake-up times, which means waking up is much less painful. (You may even find that you don’t need an alarm clock most days.)
  • Hormones prepare your body for exercise by regulating blood pressure, heart rate, blood flow to muscles, etc.
  • Your metabolism, along with all the hormones involved in activity and exercise, begin to elevate while you’re sleeping. As a result, you’ll feel more alert, energized, and ready to exercise when you do wake up
