After the excesses of the summer, the alterations of the routine and the dietary changes, September is the month that many people choose to start practicing sports on a regular basis, either to lose weight, to prepare for competitions or simply to feel better. If you are one of the millions of people who are considering starting an exercise routine this month, we will tell you the reasons why it is better to do sports first thing in the day:
10 reasons why you should do sports first thing in the day
You will burn fatter: if you do sports on an empty stomach you will burn 20% more fat. This happens because if you do not have anything in your stomach, your body will consume the reserve fat, while if you practice it after breakfast you will eliminate the recently consumed fat.
Regulate your appetite. It is closely related to the previous point and it is that different studies show that exercising first thing in the morning helps reduce the feeling of hunger during the rest of the day.
Constancy. Getting up early to exercise before starting your workday will help you maintain a fixed schedule and not skip your daily exercise period. In addition, your energy when you just woke up is much higher than what you have at the end of the day.
More appetizing plans do not arise. If you establish your schedule to practice sports in the afternoon or at night, it is more likely that other types of more appealing plans or obligations will arise for which you will put exercise aside. However, what probability is there at seven in the morning that you will have a plan? Think about it because it makes a lot of sense…
It gives you energy and awakens your mind. There are many people who find it difficult to start in the morning and need some coffee to get their body and mind going. Have you heard of endorphins? Well, if you practice sports first thing in the morning, before starting your daily obligations, they will become your ‘coffee’. Although at first you may have the feeling of being more fatigued, little by little this feeling will turn into energy.
Relieve stress and you are in a better mood. The release of endorphins will also make you smile throughout the day; In addition, for this same reason you will reduce anxiety at work, you will have less stress and you will be more relaxed throughout your day. On the contrary, if you practice sports in the afternoon or at night, the feeling of relaxation will only last a few hours, until you go to bed.
You sleep better. We agree that in order to sleep well it is only necessary, on many occasions, to be tired and that fatigue is caused by the daily hustle and bustle. However, regular sports practice will help you improve the quality of your sleep.
Regulates the functioning of your body. When you establish a fixed schedule for sports, your body regulates itself, especially the endocrine system.
Improve the appearance of your face. Practicing low-intensity sports helps to eliminate fluids from the facial area and reduce bags.
You feel accomplished. Sticking to the morning schedules you’ve set for yourself and going through your exercise routine will make you feel accomplished. Thus, little by little, you will be able to consider other challenges.
