6 Benefits Of Morning Exercise For Men And Women

If you’re not a morning person then I just ask that you read this with an open mind.  Let’s take a closer look at some of the benefits of exercising early in the morning.

Enhances Your Metabolism

Your body burns more calories after your workout, even when you’re sitting at a desk or driving in your car. One study showed that participants burned an extra 190 calories in the 14 hours after exercise when compared to those who didn’t exercise at all!

What happens when you eat later in the day while your metabolism is still rocking from your morning workout? You guessed it – you are replenishing your body and providing calories to meet your higher metabolic needs. You do not get this benefit when you exercise later in the day.

Cultivate Some Consistency

Working out in the morning ensures that you don’t interrupt your workout schedule with other daily items for example, if you exercise in the evening you run the risk of being late from work, feeling overloaded with errands that must be done. There goes your workout.

Improve Your Physical and Mental Energy

Engaging in morning workouts is your all-natural cup of coffee. Wake up your body and prepare your mind. Morning exercise has been shown to improve focus and mental abilities all day long. Your mind will be ready to take on whatever tasks you have lined up that day.

Get Better Sleep

Waking up early in the morning to exercise will in turn help you sleep better. Your body will enjoy a healthy sense of fatigue at the end of the day and will be ready to sleep. 

Reach Your Fitness Goals 

Nobody wants to wake up early every morning to exercise if they aren’t going to see results. The sacrifice required will subconsciously prompt you to work harder, look for other ways to support your exercise results, and help you commit to the process over a longer period of time.

Love Your Life

You have created a strong habit of morning exercise, your metabolism is flowing, your body is looking and feeling better, you’re sleeping well at night, and your mind is as sharp as ever. Are you enjoying your new life yet?

So, while it might not seem enjoyable to get out of the bed to exercise, you can be sure that it is worth it. Aside from all the benefits that come with being healthier, your brain is literally going to its “happy place” when you exercise. Why not start your day off that way?
