Seven reasons you should try exercising in the morning

Fancy trying a morning exercise routine? Our trainer has some tips.

Exercising early in the morning offers lots of benefits to both your health and to your daily schedule.

Here are seven tips to help get you into a routine.

Boost Your Metabolism

When you workout at high intensity your body continues to burn calories after the workout, even when you’re not moving.

So, if you get your workout done early on a morning, you’ll still be burning calories while sitting at your work desk.

Workout Consistency

Working out in the morning ensures that you don’t interrupt your workout schedule with other daily issues that crop up.

For example, if you exercise in the evening you run the risk of being late from work, feeling overwhelmed with tasks that must be done, or overloaded with other unexpected to-do items.

Other times you may simply feel too tired to exercise by the end of a long day.

But, in the morning there is nothing to distract you from getting your workout done. Exercise will be your priority.

Improve Your Physical and Mental Energy

Movement can be an excellent source of energy, something many of us need when we start our day.

But beyond that, morning exercise has been shown to improve focus and mental abilities all day long.

Not only will you feel awake and have more energy after your workout, but your mind will be ready to take on whatever tasks you have lined up that day.

Develop Strong Self-Discipline

Waking up early on a morning to exercise certainly requires self-discipline. It’s not easy at first and does get easier over time.

But while you’re training yourself into a routine, the discipline is likely to spill over into other areas of your life too.
